Jukka Rauteinen Kendov
Full Name: Jukka Rauteinen Kendov - his middle and last name translate to Iron Warrior.
Alias: The Bloodied Knight, Painted Warrior, or even that yelling fiend.
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Nameday: 6th of January
Age: Thirty three years of age
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Social Status: Middle class
Kingdom they originated from: The northernmost lands of Arcul.
Occupation: Warrior
Skills:
Appearance: The most noticeable thing about Jukka is most certainly his odd choice of warpaint, which he slaps on almost every time he steps out the door. Anybody that has seen him without it doesn't usually recognise him right away, for his fearsome visage is incredibly noteworthy.
Underneath this black and blood-red face paint is a surprisingly clean shaven male, with youthful features. His blue eyes are quite striking, and stand out from the war-paints while he is wearing them. Jukka's hair has been left to grow out rather long, which would be considered slightly unusual anywhere other than the Northern kingdom, unless it was on an elf. It falls to the small of his back when it isn't an unruly, masculine mess of mahogany tendrils.
Jukka is broad shouldered and very tall, standing at six feet and five inches. He has a muscular build, honed by his life of training as a warrior and wielding larger, more brutal weapons than the average sword.
Personality: Not the most educated of men, in the sense that he lacks the ability to read or write, Jukka solves problems through combat and straight up violence rather than through tactical prowess. With a boisterous laugh and overall jovial personality, he can make good company. However he has never been known to hold loyalty towards anybody, unless some sort of strong friendship was involved, or more than likely, a fat coin purse. He is quite the joker, and tends to make quite a lot of crude statements.
Lacking the typical noble and chivalrous traits of a trained knight, Jukka is often described as brutish and wild. His body paint tends to instill wariness into people, particularly since he wears it relentlessly. [Will flesh this out some more soon.]
History: Jukka is the firstborn to a family of four children, from the northernmost region of Arcul, commonly regarded as simply, 'clan territories'. He hailed from Clan Halmar, the most prominent of the clans at this very moment. The second child to be born was Brynjar, who is merely a year younger than Jukka. Therefore the two boys got along with each other incredibly well throughout childhood, and still do, in fact.
Jukka's father, Rajmund, was an impressive warrior, and was known throughout their clan for his skill and ability to wield a war hammer. All of Jukka's siblings were brought up to follow in his footsteps, and to live the lifestyle of warriors. This suited everybody perfectly apart from his sister, who seems to prefer the use of a bow and arrow. Jukka had always admired his father's expertise when it came to wielding large and brutish, two-handed weapons. Therefore, the young warrior honed in on practising with those weapons more than with the likes of one-handed swords.
Unfortunately, Jukka's father was killed in a territory dispute between Clan Halmar and another, now fallen, clan. Apparently he had been taken completely by surprise, and rather than meeting the face of death in the midst of battle, his throat was slit by a sell-sword hired by the opposing clansmen. Their numbers had been dwindling, and they had needed outside assistance if there were to be any chance of them defeating the Halmars. However they were not successful in the end, anyhow.
The news of Rajmund's death did not settle well with Jukka, who was twenty-six years of age at the time. During the same year, he left the territory of the clans to venture south onto the main land for the first time in his life. While one reason for this was to seek adventure and coin, another contributing factor was to seek the man who had slain his father. He has never openly admitted this, but Jukka feels as though his family are inwardly aware anyway. Apart from his youngest brother, Ingvar, perhaps. But then again, there was a lot about Ingvar that Jukka did not know. There existed a gap of sorts between them. [Work in progress.]

Kingdom they originated from: The northernmost lands of Arcul.
Occupation: Warrior
Skills:
- Two-Handed Weapon Skill: Rubbish at anything involving magic, Jukka concentrates on combat using heavy and powerful weaponry, such as hybrids between maces and warhammers as well as battleaxes and longswords. His favourite weapon which he is seen using most often is a battleaxe unoriginally but effectively dubbed bone crusher.
- War Cry: This skill allows Jukka to emit an incredibly loud and enthusiastic war cry, which instills bloodlust and energy into the people or creatures around him.
