Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface,
Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow). [/size]

Height: 5'7"
Weight: approx 120 lbs
Hair color:Unruly Brown
Eye color: Emerald Green
General Appearance:


Hiccup is seen to have, medium length dark auburn hair and Green eyes. For his age, Hiccup is still rather small compared to others. Weighing at 120 lbs, Hiccup could be seen as underweight. However, over the years he has developed a small amount of muscle coverage. yet he is still somewhat thin and stick like. Day in and day out, Hiccup will often wear his dark green pants, a green tunic (one that happens to be a few sizes to big for him) that reaches down to his mid-thigh.

Around the his waist Hiccup wears a brown belt where he keeps a small knife safely secured away in times of need. Due to his accident, Hiccup's left leg is prosthetic. However, due to his new found bond with Toothless, Hiccup now wears a riding vest (designed by himself) that helps him remain secured all the time whilst riding Toothless.


Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow).
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there[/size]

Strengths: intelligent, brave, compassionate, understanding and quick witted
Weaknesses: stubborn, has one false leg, is generally weak, talks to much and has no regard for his own life.
Fears: Having to entertain a large group of people, dying (like any other person) and being permanently separated from Toothless
General Personality:

Despite what he appears to be on the outside, and what he lacks in height and strength, Hiccup makes up for in intelligence. Hiccup is constantly coming up with various inventions, most of which are used by his tribe. Sometimes they may prove useful, where other times they may be nothing more than a disaster. This is only accomplished due to his love for books, or anything educational. Much to his father’s dislike over the fact that he just so happens to have a son blessed with brains, rather than brawn. Some of his inventions include the dragon riding saddle, the extra wing that he attached to Toothless's tail and many other items.

Throughout his short life thus far, Hiccup is a determined young boy. Who is often eager to prove his worth to his family and peers, as he wants nothing more than to prove to them how capable he really is. Hiccup will often go to a great many lengths to do what he can, but in many cases this only causes further problems. There are some rare occasions where he will often stop and think before he acts, although it is a rather unique sight and often prefers to act on impulse rather than anything else. Hiccup is renowned for his observational skills, as he is able to pick up on the smallest of detail. This particularly comes into focus during his time spent with Toothless, where Hiccup was able to notice the likes and dislikes of dragons. Both of which he uses to his advantage without having to cause any harm to them.

Like many teenagers, Hiccup is naturally an awkward person, and doesn't do to well in social gatherings. There are times where he will often stumble over his own words or say something equally pathetic and unimportant that no one takes an interest in. The only positive attribute for him and the only way to counter-act this is by having his sarcastic and dry sense of humour. All of which seems to blend in well with the other Vikings of his tribe. Yet, overall Hiccup is the type that enjoys keeping himself to himself, or will prefer to spend what time he has with his Dragon, and best friend Toothless. It was obvious right from the start, when provided with the opportunity to kill a dragon Hiccup refused, that he has a rather large sense of pity. One that knows no bounds.

Finally, Hiccup is essentially brave. Although he may not appear it, he will do whatever he can to protect those he cares about, and to ensure they are kept safe. There have been a few occasions where he has acted upon impulse alone, but the reward has always been of a great success. It is thanks to his dedication that he was able to save his village, as well as to teach them how to train their very own dragon.



Become so tired, so much more aware,
I'm becoming this, all I want to do.
Is be more like me and be less like you.[/size]

Family:
Gobber - Seen as an uncle of sorts
His entire Viking Tribe are his family

Stoick the Vast - Father and Tribe Leader

History:

Being the son of the tribe's leader is never an easy feat. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 3rd is the first born, and only born son of Stoick the Vast of the Hairy Hooligan tribe; who are renown for their skill in dragon slaying. To begin with, and all throughout his childhood whilst growing up, Hiccup has been nothing but an embarrassment to his father and the tribe. Due to his size, and lack of physique, Hiccup was sent to work as an assistant to Gobber the Belch, the village blacksmith. From afar Hiccup would often watch as the other members of his tribes went off in search of dragons.

One night during a dragon raid upon his village, Hiccup disobeyed orders and left his work post, only to head to his latest invention the ‘bola sling’, better named The Mangler. Awaiting the perfect opportunity Hiccup fired and with it managed to shoot down the deadliest, most feared of all dragons; the Night Fury. When he told the others of his victory, many laughed in his face and refused to believe him. Yet, determined to prove them wrong Hiccup went off in search for his kill. After following the trail of debris left behind by the crash, Hiccup eventually came across the dragon. It was however still breathing, so after his many attempts at killing the beast only to fail. Hiccup released it.

Once freed, Hiccup later discovered that the creature was in fact injured and unable to fly. So, with the use of his intelligence and skills, Hiccup was able to piece together a rough, temporary tail. Whilst Hiccup went about looking for suitable alternatives, his father at this point insisted that he be placed into Viking Training. - A training program that would teach him art of dragon slaying - Naturally at first, Hiccup saw this as a great opportunity, yet his dislike for killing them continued to grow.

During that time, Hiccup remained in close contact with the Night Fury, whom he had at this point named Toothless. It was during their time together, Hiccup begun to re-build and modify his previous plan - A plan that would eventually allow Toothless to fly again with help of a prosthetic tail- So, after yet more attempts and variations Hiccup eventually managed to help the dragon fly. This action alone triggered the start of a very strong and long-lasting friendship. Whilst working with Toothless, Hiccup eventually begun to uncover some interesting information about the species. Particularly their mannerisms which led him to discover that if scratched in a certain spot, than that dragon could effectively be scratched into submission. He also discovers a dragon’s distinct dislike for eel, as well as their love for a certain flower.

Due to this large learning curve, Hiccup begun to transfer his gained knowledge from Toothless to the other dragons he encountered during his training. Naturally, living such a mixed and complicated life would lead to many questions being unanswered. On many occasions Hiccup would often wonder off after each training session, in order to spend time with Toothless. However this repeated disappearing act caused suspicions to rise. One who took note of such action was none other than a class mate Astrid Hofferson. Taking it upon herself to discover his whereabouts, Astrid followed Hiccup one night after training, only to discover the existence of Toothless. Just as she was about to run off in order to tell the others of her find, Both Toothless and Hiccup managed to stop her. In doing so the two of them later prove to her that dragons really were of no threat. It was only during this rare flight that the three of them discovered the location of the Red Death dragon and with it, the entire dragons nest.

Over the next few days that followed this discovery, Hiccup was forced to face the final trial of his training which was to fight, and kill a Monstrous Nightmare. However due to one of Hiccups outbursts, after he had insisted to his father that dragons didn’t need to be killed, an incident occurred. The Monstrous Nightmare from its cage eventually escaped, and hearing his screams, Toothless eventually manages to regain flight and in turn heads to Hiccup's rescue. The cost however meant exposure, but despite his claims and words, Hiccup’s father refused to listen. From there on he took advantage of Toothless by chaining him up and later shipping him out in order to reach the Dragon’s nest.

After several moments of planning, Astrid along with Hiccup helps the other members of his group learn how to ride and train their very own dragon. Eventually the group set out in order to save Toothless, which ended up having Hiccup to bring out the now docile Monstrous Nightmare. After a somewhat disastrous rescue attempt, Hiccup’s father frees Toothless, after this, Hiccup insists that he can defeat The Red Death. With the help from Toothless, finally Hiccup and co succeed, yet, during the fight Toothless’s tail catches fire, limiting their time spent in the air. Upon discovery Hiccup manages to survive, but only with help from Toothless who had enveloped him within his wings, thus protecting him from the full blown impact.

Finally having regained consciousness some several hours later, Hiccup awakens only to discover that he has been fitted with a prosthetic foot and shin that he lost during his fall. The limb it’s self-had been especially invented and modified by Gobber to match Toothless.

Roleplay Sample:

There was a rush of air, warm and brisk against his face. The scent of the slow approaching spring brought a smile to his face. He felt like he was floating, drifting on the gentle waves of what could only be described as an ocean. It was just then he realized that he couldn't swim well. Panic suddenly begun to settle in, only to then over throw his semi-conscious brain. Soon he begun to thrash like his life depended on it. Waves begun to crash over his face, for a long moment breathing seemed impossible. For moments this thrashing continued until light begun to flood in through his eyelids.

His breath was harsh and heavy as he finally awoke. Startled he sat up; thick layers of sweat coated his skin as his heart beat twice its usual rate. Had it been a dream? Blinking, he rubbed his eyes and turned his head this way and that. Where.. was he? It was just then he took notice of the sand beneath him, golden in colour it was unlike anything he had seen. Crawling to his knees he checked himself over. He wasn't.. wet, so he was sure he hadn't actually been in the ocean. His clothes were still intact, even his prosthetic leg seemed fine. How odd.

Not allowing himself to become a sitting duck he scrambled further up onto his feet, only to stumble a few steps. Curse his stupid leg! Although as thankful as he was that he had it, it certainly made things a lot more difficult. With his heart racing, he finally regained his balance only to pivot slowly on the spot. The sky! he had never seen sky so blue! There was barely a cloud in sight! This had to be a dream it was the only explanation he could think of. How else would he of landed on a random beach, in the middle of a place he had never seen before?

Patting himself down he pinched himself, only to protest at the pain "Wake up! Wake up!' he shouted at himself although with little success.. if this wasn't a dream.. and this wasn't some image his brain cooked up? Then where on earth was he? and Toothless?? Where was Toothless? He doubted his father could deal with an angry dragon, and what about him? He couldn't last on his own could he?
