- Characteristic, Haakon's composed personality make him able to stay cool even under the most chaotic situation ever. His expressionless face also makes it hard for enemy to tell what kind of plan or tactic he has on his mind. He won't fall into enemy's provocation or pressure easily but it doesn't mean that he'll abadon his friends.
- Ranged Battle and Defensive Line, thanks to his ability to see and interact with creatures which the other can't see. The strong bonds he shares with his mythical friends leading to a perfect team. His trusted magical friends will do any battle and dirty work for him while at the same time still keeping Haakon and his allies safe from any harm on the back line.

Weaknesses:
- Communication, due to his lifeless eyes and lack of words. It doesn't mean that he didn't care at all, but he just doesn't like, or able, to express his feeling openly. This might be unacceptable and rude for people who doesn't know him well.
- Direct Combat, although he was a strong fighter in his younger days, those slow and peaceful life without any intensive physical trainings he lived now had made his strength rusted a bit. Beside, he has more interest for magics rather than brute forces.
- Trusting, because of his reclusive nature and aloofness, it'll definitely take many efforts and long time just to let Haakon considering your importance for him and give you his trust. Just be careful to not be so persistent though, or you'll end up annoy him.
History:
Even though he's a young master of a very wealthy family, Haakon wasn't born rich. In fact, his family was just a group of mercenaries who made their living by doing many different things and moved from one place to another, until they managed to find out the promising aspect of their current turfs. They decided to stay permanently there and ended their voyage.
Thanks to his background, Haakon had spent most of his life with many intensive sword trainings, adventures and wars. They were exciting and precious even for his standard, but not everythings ended up perfectly. Friends came and left. Many difficulties like betrayal, internal conflicts and dissolutions had happened, however he just accepted them as one important part of his life even though it's a bit hard sometimes.
What Haakon had enjoyed most though was spending a tranquil time with his mythical companion. There were not many children around Haakon's age to play with, so those trolls and fairies were his only friends for quite a while. He also had a little brother but they got separated and it had been a very long time ago since he last saw him.
Haakon enjoyed his new life very much but his soul was secretly still longing for adventures. After some years of slow and peaceful days, and a strong desire to meet his brother and old friends again, he decided to settle out for a journey, accompanied only by his trusted magical pals.
Sample Post:
Haakon lifted his eyelids lazily. The chorus of croaking crows and chilly caress from the autumn breeze has woken he up from his cozy nap even though he didn't wish for it. Haakon gave a lifeless-like gaze to the deep red and orange hues of the sky as a verse from an old norse poem struck his mind.
The sun I saw, setting blood-red,
when ready to wend from this world
mighty he seemed in many ways
far more than before
He's not a big fan of the sun arrogant glare. It's too radiant for him and constantly hurting his eyes. But sunset is a different story. He enjoyed how majestic and intense the sun became in that short period of time. It just seemed like the sun was trying to give a reminder that he's still the most grandest one out of them before he left his duty to the moon and the stars.
Haakon tilted his head a bit and watched how the sky's just getting darker and darker. Some minutes later, the sun has finally disappeared and the air is getting chillier. He grabbed both of his hat and muffler and put them back on him. It's time to continue his journey. It might seems weird because most people wouldn't think that venturing in the night would be a very wise idea. But not Haakon, because he loves the soothing atmosphere of the still night.
Beside, what should he afraid of when he has a group of glowing fairies to light up his way through the darkness and nisse to protect him as the travelling companion.
