Riverview CR Chart
May. 23rd, 2017 09:28 pmIvar met Marco when he was shapeshifted into a llama. He was pretty much infatuated with the handsome Animorph as soon as he shifted back, a first for Ivar in recognizing his feelings for others. Marco just seems to get him on a level others don't, accepting of the Viking's violent nature rather than freaking out or trying to turn him on a different path. Recently, he finally admitted to Marco that he actually had feelings for him, and to Ivar's great relief and happiness, they were reciprocated. They're still figuring things go from here right now.
[Brilliant observation, Ivar.]
A girl from the twenty-first century, Ivar is occasionally reminded that he's a teenager when he's around her rather than the adult he tries to be otherwise. She's kind, bubbly, and occasionally has moments of frivolity, but they tend to get along more often than not. However, during an event when they were both not themselves but alternate versions, they ended up sleeping together. It's led to some awkwardness on their part as well as straining the relationship he has with Letha. They've still remained friends and some of the awkwardness has begun to fade, enough that they're alright living together.
What happens when the son of a god meets the grandson of a god from a different pantheon? Well, as it turns out, they have quite a bit in common, especially when it comes to the complexities that come with divine lineage. Over time, the son of Hades has become a friend to Ivar, even though their vastly different personalities don't always mesh. They live in the same mansion now.
A soldier with a most curious metal arm, Ivar appreciates Bucky's solid presence on the floor, definitely being one of the most responsible characters he's met, with enough tact to keep Ivar's usual anger from rising up in his presence. He also seems to be a bit of a mother hen, at least when it comes to the impulsive decisions that Ivar makes like trying to tame a fire horse. Ivar's come to rely on him as a bit of a parental figure, going to the old soldier when he's gone through such things as his first heartbreak.
Moon King and Wanderer, Silvertongue, Son of Secrets ...Lie-smith. Shapeshifter.
Trickster.One of the Asgardian gods, Ivar immediately bonded with the godling, for each knew a little of the other's histories. Already a worshiper of the Norse gods, he could barely believe he was face-to-face with one in real life, and especially one that he had always admired for his cleverness. Ivar has found in the god both someone to worship, a friend that understands exactly where the young Viking comes from and what makes up his culture, and occasionally unbeknownst to him, someone who is watching over him.
Someone that Ivar hasn't gotten to known too well yet. He does recognize the man is a warrior of some kind, recognizing a strength in him that keeps him going no matter what gets thrown at him. He did end up having a vulnerable moment where he mentioned his brothers to Steve when he was missing them. He also has fun being a troll to Steve, since the soldier has such different values than from the Viking society.
The last of the three magic-users on the floor, Ivar has found despite the scruffy appearance, he does seem to have it together most of the time. Key word there being most. He helped Ivar out with his Ponyta and Ivar has approved of the little Lillipup that has adopted him as his owner. Ivar hopes one day to bust open the safe where he keeps his meals so that he can properly fight one of them.
Anyone who looks at Yuri and Ivar's friendship might think the two teenagers hate each other. They insult each other with almost every sentence, belittle each other with sarcasm, and generally use words like idiot the way other people do nicknames. For all that, Ivar finds that he likes the Russian much more than he lets on. He can joke around with Yuri and insult him without the other becoming too perturbed over it. Their idea of showing affection are very similar, that is, insult the person they care about until they understand that's a form of love. They have a love for destruction they like to indulge him and Yuri has taken it upon himself to introduce Ivar to twentieth-century pop culture.
Another version of the Norse god that has showed up in the city, this Loki is nonetheless a familiar presence to a Viking that is far from home. Despite the differences between the counterparts, a trickster god is a still a trickster, and Loki appears intent on encouraging all sorts of bad behavior from Ivar, whether that's causing chaos when people would rather be sleeping, or teaching him how to use modern-day weapons. Their relationship tends to go up and down like a roller coaster, something that's complicated by how close Ivar has gotten to his other uncle Thor.
After all, he has a lot of baggage tied up in his own last name.
Eddie was one of the first people Ivar met in Riverview and Ivar took a shine to him almost immediately. He was a good man, the sort who didn't judge Ivar because he couldn't walk. Then Eddie actually saved his life, preventing Dodger from killing him during a vicious fight, and staying with him in the hospital until he woke up. Such an intense course of events pretty much guaranteed Eddie's continued presence in looking out for the young Viking as a type of dad figure. He seems to sometimes be the only thing standing in the way of Ivar murdering Dodger.
Ivar has been fascinated by Ronan since the first time he met. At first, he thought it was purely because the teen was interesting, between his dream powers and the similar anger issues he had to Ivar himself. It took him a ridiculously long time to realize he had developed a crush on Ronan, the first time that had ever happened with someone of the male persuasion. While nothing has ever come of it since both of them are with other people, Ivar can't help but be drawn back time and again to his intense, strange friend. Their relationship has been a little strained as of late, since Ivar has been unable to confess how he really feels, something that Ronan is completely clueless and oblivious to. Ivar became completely furious after Ronan nearly died due to an attack from his night horrors. Who knows where their relationship will go next?
Vikings are very special to the Thunder God and Thor is very important to Vikings. So, of course it would stand to reason that the god and his half-nephew would get along in a good fashion. Ivar admires his god in a worshipful sense and he's been thankful to have the opportunity to get to know him better. Plus, he'll have bragging rights for the rest of eternity with his brothers once he gets home. Thor, though he might not be entirely aware of it, is one of the few people Ivar is willing to listen to in the Quarantine. While Loki put some doubts into Ivar's head regarding the motivations for why Thor would be willing to have him around, he seems to have had those put to rest for the moment.
Because I'm better than you are.
Ivar's relationship with Bucky started off with the two of them getting into a fight, which can sum up what's been happening since then quite well. Fascinated by the skills the ex-assassin possessed, Ivar asked to be trained by him. Bucky agreed, but this was short-lived as he discovered the Viking teen's true unstable mind. He refused to train him any longer, but Ivar wouldn't simply let the standoffish man be, for reasons he himself didn't entirely understand.
Giving a gift during Prijata to mend fences, he confessed to Bucky the lack of conscience and connection he felt towards other people. This disturbed the former Winter Soldier, but rather than cutting his losses, he attempted to explain to Ivar how he could learn to behave otherwise. Coming from anyone else, Ivar would have dismissed the advice, but from Bucky, he took it to heart. During the event where their alternate selves replaced their usual ones, he got to see a completely different side of Bucky, and for the first time, they were actual friends.
Now back to normal, the Viking found him to be somewhere between a friend and a mentor. He was eager to keep the connection between them alive. Bucky was not so happy when he learned Ivar went behind his back to learn how to shoot a gun. Eager not to disappoint someone he'd come to see as a parental figure, Ivar agreed not to use one until Bucky deemed him ready. As of late, Ivar has considered him a friend, though Bucky seems very reluctant to allow himself to get close to anyone, especially someone like Ivar who underestimates just how dangerous he can be.
Ivar finally found out Bucky's background when he saw part of his memories as the Winter Soldier. It gave the Viking insight into why his friend is just the way he is. It hasn't dissuaded him from spending time with Bucky at all, for now he seems to think the ex-assassin needs him. After showing enough self-control, Bucky finally has deemed him ready to learn how to use guns.
Laura is basically the little sister Ivar never knew that he wanted. A girl almost as emotionally stunted as himself, he's found her to be both dangerous, but someone he's found himself trusting nonetheless. This was put to the test when she had a freak-out in the hospital, but they managed to get through it without anyone getting hurt. She recently showed a more vulnerable side as she confessed how much it hurt when people left. All Ivar could do was reassure her is that he wouldn't be one of them.
Rey is someone that Ivar found himself warming up to almost from the moment he met her, a rarity for the Viking. They found a common ground in having been abandoned by their parents when they were young, and despite coming from such different backgrounds as the 800s and space, they've become friends. Perhaps, also, he might feel something a little bit more, not that these two can tell with being out of touch with their emotions as they are. Rey trusts Ivar enough to let him do something like braid her hair, an act that he would do with few others.
What's cooler than a Viking? A Viking with a dragon, of course! Ivar met Hiccup and his dragon Toothless soon after they arrived. He's found quite a bit in common with the other Viking, both of them outsiders among their people, more prone to thinking things through than just fighting. Ivar got to experience a memory of the two flying together, something that was one of the most thrilling experiences of his life. Hiccup offered to adjust his saddle so Ivar could experience it for real, something that touched the teenage Viking deeply.
Dodger was the first person Ivar found himself truly hating in the Quarantine. He mocked Ivar for being unable to walk, beat him in a fight, and left him with a burning desire for revenge. The second attempt nearly took Ivar's life, but he left Dodger without a right eye in exchange. This did nothing to dissuade the Viking from trying to kill someone he saw as a representation of everything he's been fighting against his whole life.
After shenanigans with the chalice left them as alternate selves a lot less angry and likely to kill each other, the two of them came to an uneasy sort of truce. It didn't last forever, but it did give them a good look at each other. Since then, Ivar's fought Dodger a few more times, and each time, neither one comes out on top. After viewing each other's memories, they came to another truce. But Ivar's not naive enough to think that it will last forever. He's determined to get his revenge on the man for good. As his father always said, beware the fury of a patient man.
The other Tony Stark. Ivar's not sure whether to be amused or alarmed that there's two of them in Riverview. He doesn't know this one as well as the one that lives on his floor and he's not sure he wants to, considering this one is a bit of a drunken mess. Also still arrogant and possibly insane, proving that a Stark is a Stark no matter what universe they're in.
Norway. 800s.
...
Vikings?
The first time Ivar spoke to Reaper, he wasn't concerned too much about the other's mask. He was more interested in what the undead man had to say regarding having his shit together more than some of the denizens in the city. The second time they met was during the event where the chalice was affecting them. It was quite a different experienced, considering Ivar was less angry, and Gabriel a lot less...undead. He must say, he much preferred this version of the man.Another version of Dr. Strange that has showed up in Riverview, Ivar's found this one to be more bearable than some of the other doubles. Tony Stark, for example As a doctor, he's the first one to have told Ivar about his brittle bone disease, finally giving him some peace of mind on the condition that's plagued him his entire life.
A man with the most eclectic taste in music, Ivar has found he rather enjoys getting music recommendations from him. Of course, he also enjoys trolling him when he has the chance too. He could end up getting along with him better or end up wanting to gut him like a fish. Time will tell.
[ He's never had to deal with someone who couldn't read. So he apologizes for assuming!! ]
A rather odd doctor from the hospital, Shigeru got into Ivar's good books by showing a genuine interest in Winter, even if he did seem rather nervous. He also rather liked the fact that Shigeru likes peculiar pets, a trait that Ivar himself has.
You can't just give up your soul like it's not a big deal!
A man who has experienced more than his fair share of strange worlds, Ivar finds the alchemist fascinating, even if he does think he has the sensibilities sometimes of an old, bossy woman. They recently got into a discussion over the loss of a soul, something which prompted Edward to offer his help to the young Viking. Only time will tell if he takes him up on the offer.
Michael's someone Ivar has found himself being more honest with than most in Riverview. They seem to have a bit in common with their backgrounds and family situations despite having over a thousand years of history dividing them. He also seems to be watching over the young Viking to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid like burn the place down training his Ponyta.
A man turning into an alien that Ivar has take a keen interest in. He's half-convinced he's got a curse on him from some vengeful god for past transgressions. The Viking has never seen anyone like what Wikus is becoming before. The physical transformation is fascinating and Ivar often asks rude and blunt questions about the process.
[Not to put too fine of a dramatic point on it.]
Ivar met Eichi when the latter literally fainted away dead in his arms. While normally he would have probably just dumped him in a heap on the ground, this was during when the chalice was affecting everyone, so Ivar had a bit more in the way of faking compassion than he normally did. He met the idol again after a fight with Dodger left him terribly wounded and terrified out of his mind from fear toxin. He healed Ivar, for which the Viking was profoundly grateful.
Letha is Ivar's girlfriend, and yes, no one is more surprised by him than this turn of events. He met the pregnant Victorian-era necromancer when he first came to Riverview and they quickly formed a bond. Letha soon made it clear how she felt. It took Ivar a little longer to admit what he felt too, for he thought no woman would ever want a poor cripple. While they don't get along perfectly and Ivar sometimes still feels an intense urge to ram a knife through her throat, he restrains himself because he's found someone who honestly cares about him, and loves him just the way he is. They recently moved into a house together, marking another serious turning point in their relationship.
Things became more complicated after Ivar was unable to say he loved her. Then they got strained during the event where a chalice switched them out with alternate versions of themselves. Letha was de-aged to an eight year old, so Ivar ended up sleeping with an alternate version of Lola during the event. When she found out, they had a terrible fight about it. He'd still be mad at her, but her failing health means he's buried his emotions down instead so that he can watch out for her.
As their daughter's birth drew near, Letha became sicker and sicker from the baby's strange powers. On the verge of dying, she had a C-section. Ivar was thrilled with his new little girl, loving her from the moment he held her in his arms, whom he happily named Winter Istrid Regis Ivarsdottir. Letha could only see an abomination in the form of her powers, which sucked life from people, powers in her world that made the girl known as a healer. It caused a great rift between the two of them and Ivar was determined to stay mad at her for a good long while.
Finally, their rift began to mend when Letha lost the prejudicial memories during an bout of amnesia. Happy to have his little family together, Ivar had it all. It wasn't to last. After a night where they finally consummated their relationship, and Ivar finally worked up the courage to confess to Letha that he loved her, Letha abruptly left without saying goodbye, choosing to go through the portal to Ivar's world. This devastated the young Viking as he experienced his first heartbreak. Missing her terribly, he can't decide if he wants her to come back, or if he wants to strangle her to death.
A self-professed Viking fanboy and magic-user, Billy is considered by Ivar to be a friend. Plus, having someone totally tell him how cool he is just feeds right into his ego. He also has an adorable little pet, so they definitely need to get together for pet playdates.
Arrogant, cocky, and possibly insane, Ivar nonetheless finds Tony rather interesting. He senses there's a lot more to the man than just the flippant nature seen on the surface and has seen glimpses that show him how damaged Tony is on the inside. But he's not interested in trying to fix him, not when such a mind is producing such fun toys for Ivar to play with like arm guards that bring back his weapons for him.
Ellie is basically the one that Ivar keeps learning modern phrases from, even if he does end up butchering some of them. See the above quote for just one example. He likes her well enough, though occasionally he feels that she comes from a place that was very hard. He hasn't pushed her into talking about it though. He knows just what a hard life entails.
A vampire, Ivar really should take this monster a lot more seriously than he does. He can't help it, he's stupidly fearless when it comes to things that can kill him. While the two of them seem to have formed a vitriolic sort of relationship, Ivar really doesn't mind or is annoyed as much by Spike as he pretends to be. There's worst things in the world to be friends with than a blood-sucking monster.
( Tact, thy name is Damian Wayne )
Damian is a bit of a conundrum to the Viking. One minute, he's a kid wanting to see the Pokemon that live in the woods, the next they're bonding over their love of killing. He wavers between acting his age and being far beyond what his years would suggest. Out of everyone in the Quarantine, he finds that maybe this (former?) assassin gets what's going on beneath his surface better than many others do.
[Ivar's got skewed priorities on what constitutes as fun around here.]
It was a blast. Glad to know someone can appreciate it!
It was inevitable that someone even more crazy and bloodthirsty than Ivar himself would inevitably show up in Riverview. Giovanni is definitely that person. Surprisingly, the two of them have been getting along swimmingly, sharing a love of violence, murder, and a lack of conscience. God help the city if they decide to team up for some chaos.
Don't ask why, but there's just something about Cain that rubs Ivar entirely the wrong way. They got off on the wrong foot when Ivar was just out of the hospital and it just continued from there. Ivar's annoyance at the man eventually turned into a murder attempt. Attempt being key word since Cain can't die. To which the shocked Viking has only one thought: "Challenge accepted."
A Pokemon professor who has proven invaluable to Ivar in training his Ponyta. He's provided a lot of advice so that Ivar isn't just blindly trying to do the best he can with his fire horse. He also accompanied the man on a mission to test the Pokedex. He was instrumental in helping Ivar to understand his Pokemon better.
An intelligent sort of man who has experienced the same feeling of being out of time like Ivar has, he also doesn't seem put off by the fact Ivar is in a wheelchair, a gratifying feeling for the Viking. He's definitely someone Ivar would like to get to know better.
