Name: Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson
Canon: Vikings
Age: 21ish, given the time spent in games and canon updates.
Appearance: Pic
Canon Point: 5x20
Background: Link!
CRAU: Ivar's first game was Riverview. Set on a moon in a universe where people drawn there were quarantined in a city surrounded by jungle for five years, he had quite a few significant pieces of CR, and stayed there for over a year, during which time he also went home for a canon update from the end of Season Four to the middle of Season Five. He met Letha, a pregnant necromancer, with whom he soon formed a relationship with. When her daughter Winter was born, she developed post-partum depression and returned home, leaving Ivar to raise the little girl alone in his heartbreak. He became fiercely protective of her, finally finding someone he could care about. He also met two versions of the same man: Tony Stark, a genius who developed a pair of leg braces for the Viking to be able to walk for the first time in his life, as well as gave him some "toys" in the form of weapons for him to use. He gained a pair of Pokemon during this time, which allowed his softer side to come out as they cared for him, and whom became devoted and dangerous pets that would defend Ivar with their life.
Others who made an impact were the Norse gods Thor and Loki, who Ivar took to looking on as a pair of surrogate uncles, seeing as how he himself in his own universe had Odin as his grandfather. He also found a mentor in the damaged ex-assassin Bucky Barnes, who took the Viking under his wing. In exchange for teaching him how to fight better, he also tried to instill a proper sense of empathy in the Viking, with limited results. Ivar in turn tried to help stabilize the man's unsteady personality and get him to socialize more. Thor and Bucky became two of the only people who he would listen to in the city. But there was two more to come.
Eventually, part of Ivar's family arrived: his sister Gyda who had died before he was born and a version of his father Ragnar brought in years before Ivar was even born in his personal timeline. He grew close to them very quickly and it helped stabilize his mind. A family friend, a priest named Athelstan who had died when Ivar was only a baby arrived as well. He showed such genuine kindness to the Viking that Ivar became devoted to him immediately. Ragnar and Athelstan likewise became two of the only people he would listen to. Apparently, he has a thing for collecting father figures.
During this time, Ivar met a mutant named Dodger who he developed an immediate and immense hatred of. The two had several fights, where much to the mutant's shock and dismay, Ivar kept coming out on top. Ragnar got involved with Dodger sexually, even after a heated argument with Ivar warning him the man was like fire and would only burn him. Ragnar didn't heed his warnings until Dodger raped Athelstan. Ivar didn't bother telling Ragnar 'I told you so', instead setting on a path of vengeance with his father against the man. They skinned him alive as punishment.
During this time, Ivar became involved in a relationship with Marco from the Animorphs universe. Marco, after an incident of seeing how Ivar's brittle bone syndrome could be painful, entrusted him the power to morph from his home universe. Ivar acquired several Earth animals and aliens, including a mission where he acquired a powerful alien that resembled a bull-large cat crossbreed.
Towards the end of his time there, Dodger became something of a servant and general dogsbody for the Viking teen, having finally learned to respect him. They especially bonded after Ragnar and Athelstan returned to their own time period, sleeping together for the first time. A slave from Ivar's home, a priest named Heahmund showed up, and Ivar instructed Dodger to watch him. Unbeknownst to him, Dodger set about trying to recruit Heahmund in a plot to kill Ivar. Shortly after this, he, Winter, and his Pokemon returned to his own world for a short period of time.
He then entered The Sphere, an underwater complex deep beneath the ocean. There was horror scenarios that popped up every other month, with the other being devoted to a memory share that was broadcast to the whole network. His Pokemon and Winter were left back in his own world.
His sister Gyda came from Riverview, as well as few kids from the movie It, Bev and Stan. Most importantly, Ivar met his brother Ubbe again, whom he had disowned in canon. The two repaired their relationship and Ivar learned to forgive others when he held a grudge against them. He canon-updated to the end of Season Five during this time. He also made friends with Rhys, who repaired Ivar's braces when he got into a fight during which they were damaged. A new version of his baby mama Letha showed up for a short period of time, dredging up old feelings, as well as a new version of Dodger. Dismayed that his dog no longer seemed to remember him, he set about "retraining" him with the usual methods Ivar had (i.e. psychologically terrorizing the man until he was molded into what Ivar wanted), which led to the two of them entering a sexual relationship again. It is at this point where Ivar will be taken from.
Personality: Ivar is a complicated Viking. On the surface, he looks like your average psychopath: burns people alive for shits and giggles and plays mind games to torment everyone around him. But dig a little deeper and he gets more complex. He's a product of the culture around him. The Norse are all about physical prowess and being born a cripple usually meant being put out in the woods to die of exposure, a merciful death rather then letting a child grow and suffer. Ivar grew up with almost everyone treating him with disdain and pity, seeing him as the poor weak runt that should have done the proper thing and died when he was a child.
Ironically, it was these sentiments that hardened Ivar's will. He decided he wasn't just going to live, he was going to thrive and prove he was just as good as any other Norse warrior. Being the youngest son of one of the most famous Vikings in the entire world also put added pressure on him to succeed. What became the core of his personality was his ever-present anger. Life dealt him a bad card and he responded with fury. Despite all this, there were a few people like his family who managed to get past all the rage and hurt, and he responded by giving them eternal loyalty and love. When he gains a friend in the young Prince Alfred while being held captive in the English court, who shows him kindness and no fear when no one else will, he holds onto the chess piece given as a symbol of that friendship even years after the fact.
He finally got his chance to prove himself when his father returned after abandoning his family and duties as king ten years earlier. He offered Ivar a chance to come on a raid with him and the teen jumped at the chance, forgetting the resentment he'd built up towards Ragnar for ten years. This also showed another facet of his personality: Ivar's so used to people treating him with cruelty that the moment someone shows him genuine kindness, they're immediately forgiven all faults and he will love them to a point of blindness.
Over the next several years, Ivar develops into a brilliant tactician on the battlefield, first used when he and his brothers invade England to avenge their father's death. He might not be able to walk, but he can plan six steps ahead of anyone he goes up against, out-thinking them completely. This is because he's very clever and good at reading people even after knowing them for only a short amount of time. At the same time, losing his father, mother, honorary uncle, and one of his brothers all within the span of about a year breaks him down. He comes to think that anyone who he loves and cares about will leave him eventually whether by choice or by dying. He decides pushing everyone away before they can hurt him is a good idea, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when the rest of his brothers start getting tired of his bullshit and do just that.
By his current canon point, he's become and then lost the position of being King of Kattegat. While a good warlord, Ivar makes for a terrible king, and this is where his blood lust and love of carnage come into full play, as he massacres anyone who speaks out against him and does so with glee. He gives into such delusions of grandeur as to think he's a god up until his son is born with a deformity. That brings him back down to earth hard. By the time he flees Kattegat, he's killed both his son and wife, and it's clear the loss of the family he'd wanted for so long and tried to create have hit him a lot harder then losing power and the crown have. He's hurting and reeling from his losses, but as always, Ivar is a survivor. He'll weather this storm out and come back strong as always.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Ivar is ruled more then anything else by his temper. Anger has sustained him his entire life and he clings to it as both a shield and strength. He reacts to any situation with a fury that seems to be without end. Because he doesn't put limits on himself, that includes reining in his temper. He's also unable to forgive anyone for the slights against him, whether real or imagined, major or minor in his mind. He's psychopathic and clever, two traits that make him ruthless enough to achieve any goals he wants while also being too proud to admit when he's wrong as well.
Sins: Fratricide: Killed his own brother Sigurd.
Uxoricide: Killed his wife.
Infanticide: Left his son out to die by exposure to the elements.
Live immolation: Has burned numerous people alive.
Sacrilege: Declares himself a god.
Torture: "Blood-eagled" a king and force-fed a priest molten gold.
Vengeful: Unable to let go of grudges or slights against him, particularly against the woman that killed his mother and the men that killed his father.
Selfish: Started and continued a civil war to kill the woman that killed his mother, even though it tore his remaining family apart.
Cruelty: Has a habit of saying nasty, biting things to people just to hurt them. Also just enjoys hurting people in general. Arbitrarily kills his own people for no reason.
Psychopathic: Has an inability to relate to anyone with sympathy and empathy.
Sadist: Seems to get off on torturing people, usually to death.
Incestuous ideation: There's some subtext in the show which suggests Ivar is attracted to his brothers.
Pride: Ivar boasted of himself being a god and being smarter then everyone around him.
Greed: He's never satisfied with what he has and always wants more, whether it's land, treasure, or power.
Lust: He covets much which he will never have, everything from a perfect body to conquering more land in England.
Envy: He's forever resentful of those around him who have normal bodies that allow them to be warriors while he will never have the chance.
Wrath: Anger and fury is what has sustained him for many years, allowing him to accomplish much, but burning him up inside at the same time.
Powers/Abilities: While in Riverview, Marco from the Animorphs used technology from his home world, the blue box, to give Ivar the power to morph into any living creature that possesses DNA for up to two hours. The specifics of morphing are here and a list of morphs he currently has are here.
Items: -4 knives
-1 longsword
-A pair of leg braces
