| Bio: |  Character Info- -Full Name: Bjørn Erik Sorensen -Gender: Male -Species: Born Lycan (Polar Bear) -Orientation: Bisexual -Height: 6’5” (Turned Height 9’5”) -Weight: 183lbs. (Turned Weight 953lbs.) -Hair: Blond (Turned: White fur) -Eyes: Blue (Turned: Black) -PB: Paul Walker -Character Age and DOB: Born January 11, 1935, He’s 99, but looks 20 something -Complete Character Description: Like many of his countrymen, Bjørn is tall, 6’5”, and fair. He has pale blue eyes and thick, wavy blond hair, which he usually wears pretty short. More often than not, you will see at least a few days worth of stubble covering his square jaw. His clothing style is definitely casual, tee shirts, jeans, boots, flannel shirts, sneakers, and khakis. -Personality: Bjørn is a very friendly, very open person. He loves his uncle and has a great sense of family and neighborhood. He is very much a people person and well liked by just about everyone who has ever met him. Bjørn is calm, cool and collected…a very capable and responsible ‘young man’. As much as Bjørn loves people, he is still quite the loner most of the time, keeping his emotional distance so as not to form any long lasting relationships. Losing loved ones once was enough for him. Where vampires are concerned, there is a darker side of Bjørn...he believes they are all demon filth and he will send as many back to Hell as can.  -Background: LONGYEARBYEN- Longyearbyen is the administrative centre of Svalbard and is located on Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago. Longyearbyen has approximately 2,075 inhabitants. It is one of the world's northernmost towns, and the most northerly town with a population of over 1000. In the 1930s it was discovered that bodies buried in the town's graveyard were not decomposing; this was because the permafrost was preserving them. People may not be buried there, and so those who fall gravely ill must be taken to another part of Norway, where they can be buried if they die. Owing to its location far north of the Arctic Circle, it is in polar night from the end of October to mid February and polar day from mid April to mid August. Longyearbyen has an Arctic tundra climate. The Governor of Svalbard and his administration reside in Longyearbyen. The settlement was founded in 1906 by John Munroe Longyear, main owner of the Arctic Coal Company of Boston. It was destroyed by the Nazis in 1943 and rebuilt after World War II, with the old foundations still visible in some places. Until the early 1990s the coal mining industry was the major employer in Longyearbyen. The daily life circled only around the mining business.  BJØRN SORENSEN- Bjørn Erik Sorensen was born January 11, 1935 in Longyearbyen on the island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago to Lars and Astrid Sorensen. The couple had two sons, Hakon and Einar, who were 9 and 12 years old and weren’t really planning on another child, Bjørn had been a surprise. Lars worked for the Arctic Coal Company and they had one of the few housing units allowed to families at that time. They had a good life there and it wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t as hard for the Sorensens as it was for most…they were very much at home in the snow, ice and cold here and they had no fear of the large polar bear population of the island; the Sorensens were lycans, specifically polar bear shifters. When Bjørn was 6 years old, events would take a turn that would set a series of events in motion that would change his whole life. It was the Summer of 1941 and Hitler’s forces had occupied Norway for a year now…allied marine forces came to Spitzbergen to evacuate all 765 Norwegian citizens to Scotland. In the Autumn of 1943, the Nazis destroyed Longyearbyen. The Norwegians disembarking in Scotland were taken care of as efficiently and humanely as possible. What the authorities there were unaware of was that imposters had insinuated themselves amongst the officials. The Sorensens were separated from the others ‘for processing’ they were told. Taken into a large room far from the center of activity by three ‘government officials’, Lars and Astrid were seated at a long table and given long forms to fill out…as they concentrated on the forms, they were set upon by the fiends they were sealed in the room with…they didn’t even have a chance to shift forms before they were immobilized and drained to the point where they couldn’t defend themselves or their children. Two vampires had taken out Lars and the other had handled Astrid. 15 year old Hakon and 18 year old Einar shifted to their were-bear forms and stood between 6 year old Bjørn and the three vampires. These were older vampires and one held the power of fire, Einar was enveloped in flames while all three drug Hakon to the ground and drank from him until his form shifted back to that of a 15 year old boy. Einar convulsed against a wall, wracked with pain, covered in flames, until the one fiend hefted a flag pole and speared him through the heart with it. Bjørn screamed and ran at the closet vampire punching and kicking…he growled, even though he couldn’t change his form yet. The vampire laughed and picked him by the back of his shirt, “Feisty little lad! Don’t be in such a hurry ta’ die. Me name’s Caelan Lockhart”, he looked deep into Bjørn’s ice-blue eyes, “Remember it, wee bear. I’m the one who killed yer whole family”. Dropping him on the bodies of his parents, Caelan and the other two left. The 6 year old Bjørn, screaming and crying his eyes out over his murdered family, ran out of the room and into the arms of the real port officials. A very kind Scottish family kept him while relatives were searched for. He had plenty of relatives in Norway, but that country was occupied by Nazis at the time. Then they found a maternal uncle in America, Thorfin Jorgensen in Appleton, Wisconsin. Thorfin was happy to take Bjørn in and the boy was flown there with the well wishes of his brief foster family.  Growing up in Appleton was a good life…his Uncle Thorfin, sent him to the nicest Lutheran schools and made sure he went to church every Sunday…he also trained him in jujutsu and made him workout regularly. After his school studies, his uncle would teach him everything currently known about vampires…their powers, their strengths, their weaknesses. He also schooled him in the ways of his fellow lycans. Young Bjørn was burning to be able to shift to his were and lycan forms. Uncle Thorfin smiled and told him each time, “When you become a man, you become a beast”. When Bjørn’s day came and puberty hit him full on, Uncle Thorfin packed up the jeep and they drove to Alaska for a month long holiday. It was a month of fun and a month of training in all forms…human, were and polar bear. Bjørn would think of this month as one of the best times of his life. His Uncle Thor even let him have a few beers. Every chance they got, after that weekend, they snuck away and trained in their lycan forms. Uncle Thor was amazing and a wealth of knowledge on the best techniques to fight vampires and the best moves to take down lycans of other ilk…especially the wolves. This was not to say that Bjørn was able to take short cuts with his school work; his uncle insisted on a B average at least, but was pleasantly surprised when 9 out of 10 times his nephew brought home an A. If his academic grades were above average, his jujutsu and supernatural studies excelled even beyond that. When Bjørn was 18, his Uncle Thorfin married a beautiful Russian lycan named Katja…Bjørn was amused that Katja was a wolf and not a polar bear like Thorfin and himself. Now that his uncle was married, Bjørn decided that it was time for him to move on and let the new couple have some privacy. The young man had received invitations to attend both CALTECH and MIT, but even though he was a brilliant student and quite advanced in the field of technology, he was more interested in art. Bjørn was an extremely talented woodcarver, he made beautiful furniture as well as magical figurines and toys. As luck would have it, Uncle Thorfin was not only rich, he was filthy rich. He bought Bjørn a shop in town with a nice apartment overtop; he had also started a savings account for Bjørn when he came to live with him and had been adding to it weekly…he now turned it over to the boy. It took only long enough for Bjørn to make some samples to set out in his store front for his business to get started. His work was so in demand, orders were backed up for months. It was a good thing that he worked fast and needed little sleep. Bjørn lived over top of his shop and kept mostly to himself, except for occasional trips out to visit his Uncle Thorfin and Aunt Katja. Since he didn’t age like everyone else in Appleton, he let his hair grow a little shaggy and let his face get scruffy to add a bit of age to his features. Bjørn steered clear of any lasting relationships…a wife and family was not something he wanted. He couldn’t bear the thought of caring so deeply for a family again and having them ripped away from him. He never dated in Appleton. When Bjørn wanted to go out for a few drinks and some companionship, he drove either to Oshkosh or Green Bay. Once a year, Bjørn would go away for a week or two for vacation, sometimes with Thorfin and Katja and sometimes alone. As the years went by and his aunt and uncle had children and their children had children…and most of them decided to move back to Norway, Bjørn more often went on his own. His cousin, Nikolai, who always felt like a younger brother decided to stay, but he was drawn to the north and the growing lycan communities found there. Bjørn felt Niko needed to find his place and they were still close enough to visit.  It was in the year 2020 that Bjørn was in Mexico exploring the Mayan ruins and enjoying the beach when he heard of the missiles launched at a massive meteor hurtling towards the Earth. He packed up and tried to get an early flight back to Wisconsin but all flights were booked. They did have a flight to Las Vegas with a connecting flight to Green Bay, so he took it. When the plane landed in Las Vegas everything was chaos, so Bjørn rented a car and started driving towards home, but then all hell broke loose. He went to ground in Zion, Utah, taking refuge in the basement of an Italian Restaurant with several other humans and a few lycans. After a time, he traveled a vastly different, post-apocalyptic landscape back to Appleton, Wisconsin. After such a long trek back, Bjørn was heartbroken to see that Lake Michigan, Lake Winnebago and Green Bay had all poured inland to completely swallow his beloved town. He moved down to Dubuque, Iowa and tried to scratch out a living. Things had become almost prehistoric. Even Living in Iowa, which at this point was basically a tribal existence, Bjørn had heard tell of the great city of Las Vegas still up and running and being ruled by Lycans, most especially Skyler Davis. This news was later followed by news that vampires now ruled the city and Skyler answered to them. Bjørn decided that Vegas needed him and in 2033, he made his way to the City of Sin. NOW:After arriving in Las Vegas, Bjørn almost immediately met Gunnar Eriksson, a fellow werebear that was destined to be his close friend. Gunnar not only helped him get registered with the Chancellor’s office, but he helped him get a job and took him in as a roommate, as well. Bjørn worked with Gunnar as a stripper at the ‘Hips & Hearts’ and enjoyed his job there, not caring what anyone thought; he was a minor celebrity, like Gunnar. That was until his cousin, Nikolai, came to town. Then, he made Gunnar promise not to reveal where he worked, as Niko became roomie number 3. It wasn’t long, however, until his cousin did find out, and while he was shocked, he loved Bjørn and accepted it well enough (though it was not the thing for him). Being in close quarters, the three roommates came to know each other’s minds as they talked sometimes late into the night and Gunnar told them of a group he had belonged to called the Lycan Domination Front. Bjørn and Nikolai thought that this group sounded like a good idea and, in time, they had revived the LDF with Niko leading them and Bjørn as his right hand man. Gunnar was responsible for recruitment, as he knew what to look for from years of experience. The LDF is about to become very active and Bjørn’s job as a stripper gives him a venue to gather quite a bit of information. -Weakness(es): Silver, Heart trauma, Head trauma, Spine trauma, Decapitation, Commitment to a relationship, Overwhelming hatred of vampires. -Abilities Due to Species: Massive strength , preternatural heightened senses…especially smell and sight, almost instant healing, powerful teeth and claws, powerful swimmer, increased speed. -Talents and Hobbies: Master at Jujutsu, Knowedge of Vampire and Lycan Lore, Master Craftsman at Woodworking: Furniture-maker, Woodcarver: toys and figurines. -Family and Friends: Lars Sorensen (father-deceased), Astrid Sorensen (mother-deceased), Hakon Sorensen (brother-deceased), Einar Sorensen (brother-deceased), Thorfin Jorgensen (uncle), Katja Jorgensen (aunt), Nikolai Jorgensen (cousin) -Hotel or Location of Character: New York, New York -How long has your character been in Vegas (or the hills or the compound, etc): 1 year and 3 months -Job/Duty/Position: Dancer at Hips and Hearts/ 2nd in command of LDF  | ||||||||||
