Re: Vígdís "Cold Feet"
Wed Jan 15, 2020 9:21 amEverything was going fine until I started reading the history (though her age did make me uncomfortable). I'm afraid I'll have to reject your entire history. No concessions, no corrections. Please rewrite it completely. Within your single history, you've just created lore for the entirety of Revival Dawn which I am not interested in implementing. At one point, I even saw mention of Valkyries conquering "planets", which makes me believe this history may have been ported over from somewhere else and edited to fit the One Piece world. And, to be honest, I was not at all a fan of so many blatant uses of titles and names from popular media. "King in the North"? "Warden of the North"? "Kattegat"? I like both of those TV shows too but come on dude.
At most, you can define lore for her home island (and that too, should likely be a non-canon island, since all canon islands have island descriptions on the site that need to be conformed to). Her being 300 years old would also cause issues with the site's plot. I'm not sure if you've read the The Revived Era - which sets up the world for the site, 300 years ago, the world was in the "Void Era". No knowledge from that era has survived to be available to player characters at the moment, as it is important for us to reveal the Void Era's secrets through World Events that drive the site's plot.

Age: 46 (biologically; 300+ (chronologically)
Gender: Trans
Race: Cyborg
Faction: Marine
Profession:
Retired Captain—A former captain, Vígdís was once one of the greatest pirates to ever live and knows all it takes to be a good one.
First Mate—While a great captain, Vígdís personally prefers the role of the first mate, and is currently looking for a good captain.
Navigator—Havinf sailed all the seas before, Vígdís would have picked up the essence of what it takes to be a navigator.
Physical Appearance
Height: 9'9" • 10'5" (in uniform)
Weight: 473 lbs (214 kg) • 1077 lbs (488 kg) (with prosthetic arm & leg)
Hair Style: Bald • Straightened (wig)
Hair Color: Icy blue
Eye Color: Ocean blue
Scars: Amputated left arm, right leg and missing right eye. 56 blade wounds & 33 bullet wounds, amongst other minor bruises.
Clothing and Accessories: Vígdís can usually be found in her own custom Marine uniform, consisting of a daringly short and low cut white and black mini dress. With this, on her arms she wears a pair of black evening gloves, thigh high 8-inch heeled boots, a black belt and an elaborate collar. On her hip, she would keep her rapier sword, Winter's Song; she would usually keep a pair of handcuffs on her belt, a compass and a flintlock pistol secretly strapped to her thigh beneath her skirt.
When she isn't in uniform, Vígdís is in fact known to dress quite effeminate, with her favoured wear being sundresses of assorted colours and designs. She would usually steal the marine t-shirts of the larger guys in the crew to sleep in, and unless she has somewhere to go or commanded by her superior to change, she would usually just stay in large t-shirts all day on deck. Her feet usually covered in sandals. Jewelry is give or take with her, as she in fact loves it, but unless she's really dressing to impress, she usually just sticks to simple earrings.
Description: The people of Kattegat were known for their massive size. Vígdís herself towers over the average man or woman, while in fact being quite short by Kattegat standards. She has a athletic built, which consists of a balance of enough muscle for power, but not too much to hinder her speed, which with her height can make her seem skinny.
In spite of her age (chronologically or biologically), she doesn't look a day over thirty. By any human standards, she is considered beautiful, with blemish free skin and alluring features. She is pretty much always seen smiling, even in serious or terrifying moments. A little known secret is that she is in fact bald and wears a wig, preferring to shave her head regularly.
As a cyborg, she is usually seen lugging around a cybernetic arm, leg and eye. All three prosthetics are designed to blend in however, with the arm and leg being skin coloured and able to function like a regular arm without flaw, and her eyes looking as a regular eye would, and so, most people could never tell the difference except for the weight. She is personally comfortable with her amputations however, and so, she usually has no qualms to taking them off in front of others, and in her downtime, usually goes without them, preferring to hop around on one leg than carry the pieces of shit around.
The Past
Main Traits: Reckless, blunt, immodest, crazy, deceptive, laid-back, carefree, cunning, calculating, manipulative.
Likes: Fighting, booze, singing, fucking, partying, sailing, adventuring, dancing, swearing, stinky smells of her fellow pirates, strategy games, extreme temperatures, okama, kids.
Dislikes: Chickens, pointless killing, clean smells, the word "ensign", men who don't fight women, women who don't cook & clean, being on land, vegetables.
Unique laugh: Woof woof woof! & Hohohohoho!
Hometown: Korangar
Personality: Vigdis is best described as "a hard pill to swallow".
A former pirate, she retains all the traits of her former career. She is not your goody too shoes brand of pirate unfortunately. She has killed, she has pillaged, she has plundered, she has raped, she has done it all, and even as a Marine, she continues to do so where opportune. And even as a Marine, she spends most of her days in various bars around North Blue either drinking until she is passed out drunk, fucking whatever breathes or fighting until she is black and blue.
To most, it seems she rarely, if ever, takes anything seriously. She's carefree
and can die with a smile at her lips as long as she had her share of fun. And unfortunately for those around her, there is virtually nothing she wouldn't find fun. If one person finds it fun, then she will make the best out of a bad situation and find her own entertainment.
As a Marine she remains a controversial figure, unafraid to do whatsoever she pleases. She is a perpetual joker and is provocative to a fault. She enjoys nothing more than goading on those around her, and regularly does so regardless the circumstance. She would insult superiors and equals alike, and would be disappointed if there wasn't some kind of penalty for her disrespect. She does deny being a masochist however, and honestly thinks those people are the real crazy ones.
While most would see her as a joker, and so think she's stupid, she's anything but. While she maintains s facade of nonchalance, she is in fact always planning, always scheming, always analysing. She didn't become a first class pirate through her strength, but rather her brains. She is a genius in her own right, especially when it comes to psychological warfare
Patience is a virtue which she bares more than anyone. She can spend years playing and assuming a role until the moment is right to make a move. And so, she is never to be trusted. She believes in the long con, and to her a good con is just as good as a good fight.
While her loyalty may be hard to earn, she does believe greatly in nakamaship. She would die for those whom are loyal to her, and vice versa. She overall has a "wolf pack mentality", as she knows there's strength in numbers, however this mentality also means she believes only the strongest is meant to lead. If someone can prove their worth to her, she would gladly bend a knee and follow then to gel and back until they prover unfit to lead. Weakness will not be tolerated.
She is known to at times put a great deal of interest in religion, fate, and even the dreams of men. She strongly worships the germanic gods, regularly praying to them and doing things in their order, which still doesn't stop her from insulting even them, but still her faith is strong. With that, her seemingly reckless behavior can best be attributed to her own belief in fate and destiny.
She is known to be often times have contradicting views of feminism and misogyny. She identifies as more male than female, and believes that women are to be submissive and obedient. Still, she's anything but delusional, and so she's not one to deny she's still more man than woman. She's not adverse to using her feminine charms to get her way, and is often a bit of a mother hen when she's around the guys, often times cleaning or cooking for her crew.
Like most pirates she is naturally a very quirky person, with three quirks in particular standing out. The first is her terrible relationship with cats; for some reason the like fur balls absolutely hate her guts and the mere sight of her causes them to attack her. The second is her inability to stay on land for too long; a sailor at heart, being on land for any more than a few hours causes her diarrhoea. Lastly, she is incapable of opening doorknobs. She also has a fear of chickens.
Alas, while the Viking woman maintains her dominant personality, it is a little known fact that she is a but a shell of herself. Not just, physically, but psychologically. She is eternally doomed to follow rather than to lead, for without another person to give her commands and tell her what to do, she reverts to the weak, acted little girl she once was.
- History:
Just over three hundred years ago, Vígdís had been born "Skadi Snorridottir". Her home island of Korangar, was a winter island in the north blue, that has reportedly disappeared two hundred years ago. She had been the only daughter of her parents eight older sons and five younger ones. Unfortunately, due to rumors that her mother had an affair during the time of her conception, her father, Ragnar, considered her a bastard. Everyone on Korangar knew how to fight, even the women, but her father had refused to teach her. And so, while her brothers, even the younger ones, were all off with their father learning to hunt and fight, she would remain at home with their mother learning to cook, clean and be a good wife, daughter and sister. Vígdís herself didn't mind, as she found fighting to be barbaric, cruel and terrifying. Her mother had attempted to teach her on more than one occasions, to no avail. She did love watching her brothers practice however. And although her father refused to teach her to begin, the fact that she didn't like fighting made her all the more a bastard in his eyes.
Korangar was home to three major races who had all migrated their over the years: the giants race, that identified as the "Jötunn", the wolf minks race that identified as the "Vänagandr" and the human race, that identified as the Miðgarðr. The three races were always with the only time they ever seemed to cooperate being when they would all forms a truce every decade or so in order to raid south, where collectively they were simply known as the "Vikings". Humans, being the weakest races, suffered the most from all the fighting, and her home village, Kattegat, suffered the most from all the fighting as it was settled it between a wolf and giant villages that were constantly at war, Kattegat the setting for these fierce battles. Although all Vikings were as much farmers as they were fighters, Kattegat in particular was the best farming village, however this means that their warriors weren't as fierce as some of the other village's, her father being the only reputable warrior. The wolves were especially known to go into frenzies in their fabled "Sulong" forms on the full moon, attacking any and everyone who wasn't their own. The giants saw this as an opportunity to get her people into a protection rackets approaching every full moon.
She had been only eight when Kattegat had been ravaged one full moon by the wolves. Her village's best warriors had been off raiding at the time, along with most of the giants' warriors that would protect them. Her father had left with eight of her brothers, leaving Skadi, one of her older brothers, three of her younger brothers and her nine months pregnant mother behind. The wolves, in their frenzy, had easily killed all who had stayed behind in the village, and her mother had gone into labor the same night. Before they could get to them, her mother had chosen to hide Skadi alone away in a cabinet, masking her scent with the blood from her labor. From the cabinet, Skadi had watched as two wolves killed her family one after the other. Her mother had been the last to go down. If she had survived, Skadi would have finally have a sister.
The morning following the attack, Skadi had taken one of her father's swords and went to the wolves' village and demand to meet their alpha wolf, Fen. She was allowed visitation, the wolves all fascinated by her foolhardy bravado. Fen had ordered his wolves to stand down, allowing Skadi to take revenge as he felt he had failed as a leader by not knowing his wolves had attacked Korangar during the truce. Alas, Skadi couldn't bring herself to kill him, even for her family. The wolves had laughed at her, seeing her as pitiful for not being able to take revenge for her family. Fen however, took an interest in her. Skadi had intend on returning to Korangar, where she would await her father and brothers, however Fen had insisted she stayed. He told her how the rumors of her mother's infidelity had been true, as he and several of his men had laid with her. He wasn't sure if she was his daughter, but he could smell the wolf blood coursing through her veins, and that made her as much a wolf as the rest of them in his eyes. She had refused the offer; Ragnar may not have liked her, but to her, he was still her father. Fen insisted that he would allowed her to leave on one condition: Ragnar had to come for her himself. He didn't. As such, she would spend the next few years amongst the wolves. She adopted their ways before she ever knew it, her personality a reflection of their upbringing to this day. She had no idea which one of them was her father, but Fen considered her a daughter, giving her the name "Vígdís".
She had been thirteen when the World Government had invaded Korangar. With the Cipher Pol, their strength was too much for even the three races United, and Korangar had been decimated in what was known as the "North Pol War". Only the children from all three races had been spared from the war. The World Government would go on to establish one of their scientific research labs and a training camps on the island, where they were working towards creating super soldiers, the prototypes to the pacifistas. The "Valkyrie Project" they would call it, Vígdís given the test subject designation “V-23”. Adamant against violence, while all the other children showed promise as soldiers, Vígdís was making record low scores in all aspects. Before long, there were talks of putting her and a few of the other weaker children down. Doctor Lyn Tressler however had however taking a liking to Vígdís and the other kids, and so suggested that they at least be used as guinea pigs, a fate she felt was better than death. While most of the children, even the strongest ones, usually died from even a single one of these experimentations, Vígdís survived. Her mother's multiple affairs had somehow left her with the genetics of both wolves and giants, making her a tribrid. Before long, she was subjected to three and four experimentations a day for five years.
Before long, the experimentations had proved fruitful. They would proceed to reprogram her mind. She would live and breath to fight for the World Government. The strongest females from each of the World Government's training camps worldwide, would all be admitted into the team, the Valkyries. Although she was the strongest from her camp, Vígdís' strength still in comparison to some of the monsters on that team. The Valkyries were all tasked with conquering islands world wide. Alas, not being as powerful as the others who could easily conquer most islands by force, Vígdís was known to approach things tactically. Patience was a virtue she always had plenty of, and she had developed a penchant for mind games. Whereas the other Valkyries were conquering almost ten times as many planets as she was, Vígdís usually took her time, even with islands she could easily conquer by force. Most times she would assimilate herself into the culture, earn their trust and then conquer it. Sometimes she would take as long as a year biding time before she made her move.
This in fact earned her favor with the World Government however, as while the other Valkyries worked faster, their methods meant that there was always eventually going to be rebellion and resentment. But with Vígdís, the handful of islands she had conquered were loyal to her as she had earned their trust—although of course they didn't know she had to kill more than a few people behind the scenes to rise through the ranks. After three years of conquering islands for the government, they had given her the title “Warden of the North”. Content with her conquest, the government would see fit to essentially turn her into a
This was her life for four years before she met Ra G. Nar, captain of the Ragnarok Pirates. From the moment she had met the stern captain, she knew he was someone worth following. Breaking the brainwashing of the World Government was easy. They had taken her free will, something she could never regain, and so all she needed to do was to hand her will over to another. And so, she agreed to serve Ra through hell or high water. He took her in, seeing her as almost like, and in exchange, she acted as a double agent for him within the government. Using her intel and his strength, bit by bit, she helped him conquer the north as her territory was now his. Before long, he was renowned by most as the “King in the North”, at which point Vígdís declared rebellion against the government, bowing a knee to her king on a live video.
He took her in, taught her well, seeing her as almost like a daughter, and in exchange, she acted as a double agent for him within the World Government. He would help her conquer the North, and once it was done, she would officially betray the World Government and bow a knee, making him the new King in the North. Free of the government, Vígdís did not hesitate to take advantage of her newfound freedom, drinking, fucking, partying and pirating across the seas with wanton disregard. By twenty-six, she had seven children, two of which were Ra's; had three husbands and three wives and a bounty of 175,000,000 for her treason and was given the epithet "King of Winter, Whore of Summer", a contrast to Ra's own title.
Satisfied with their conquest, the Ragnarok Pirates would set campaigns for the other blues. Between Ra's strength and Vígdís tactics, they were unbeatable. Still, even so, it was by no means easy. There was always a cost. They had lost men, and gained new one; in one of their many battles in West Blue, she had lost her leg to Crepe "The White" Garouga. Alas, after four years, they had managed to conquer both the west and south blues. Alas, East Blue wasn't always renowned as the "weakest blue" as it is today, and once had pirates as strong as the Grand Line's own itself. And so, after suffering several devastating lost in the west, Ra had resigned to contentment with the three seas he ruled. He would settle himself into an island in North Blue. He gave Vígdís the option to continue sailing if she pleased, and so she would start her own campaign to conquer the east herself.
It would be in Easy Blue, she had met Captain Josefin Barkins. Singlehandedly, she had taken down his entire crew, the Barkin Pirates. He had cried and begged her for her life, and while such a trait was usually unbecoming of a good leader, she admired his lack of humility and spared him. After a night of drinking, fucking and partying with his crew, the next day she had made him a offer he couldn't refuse. Even the greatest historians today cant come up with an explanation for why she would betray an established crew of two hundred men for a crew of ten which she had singlehandedly beaten. Giving him all the tools and information he needed, she would help him take all of the Ragnarok Pirates territory. They would make their way north, where she fought Ra herself, their battle waging on for an entire day. He had won the battle, but unable to deliver the killing blow to her who he considered a daughter, she had seized the opportunity and killed him.
She would go on to sail with the Barkin Pirates, taking in former pirates of the Ragnarok pirates under the new flag of black. She would make one more failed attempt at conquering East Blue, before she resolved to set sail for the Grand Line. The legendary sea was every bit as challenging as she had expected, and more. Within their first month, the Barkin Pirate had suffered a devastating lost to another crew, a rookie crew at that. They had retreated to an island, Jazzil, however when they thought they were safe, the crew had in fact followed them to finish the job. The entire Barkin Pirates had been tortured and killed before her eyes. They thought they had killed Vígdís, however she would survive the ordeal, albeit she wouldn't be the same again. The things they did to her would have killed any other person ten times over, and while it didn't kill her, it had left her practically a cripple.
Crippled, for the next two years she felt into poverty in Jazzil, doing whatever she could to get by. She had tried rebuilding her crew many times over, but of course, no one was about to follow a cripple onto the most unforgiven sea in the world. Jazzil was very isolated, and so most of the people fortunately didn't recognize her as a wanted pirate, that was until one day a marine ship came to shore. Captain Benjamin Fox, was a recently drafted marine, with the highest career number of arrest in Marine history at the time. Vígdís had thought for sure he would lock her up, but instead, he had made her an offer she couldn't refuse. He had access to the marine cybernetic labs, and would order upgrades to her system. In exchange, once she achieve infamy, she would allow herself to be turned in by him.
At thirty, she was amongst four other rookie pirates that forced the Marines to coin the term "supernova". Her time spent in the streets weren't idle times however as she kept well informed. And from her former defeat, she had realized that she, like most pirates, were playing checkers, while the big wigs of the world were playing chess. And so, she came to the conclusion to throw her hat into the ring of underworld brokering. She would settle herself onto a sky island, where she would spend her days drinking, fucking and partying. She had a large enough fleet that they all acted on her behalf without her having to overlook everything on a daily basis, and so while she built her reputation as a broker, her reputation as a pirate grew without her even having to raise a finger. At a point, many thought she was a myth.
She would return to sea at 35, the prime of her power. Her return had been like a storm, as within months of her return her bounty had shot up to 650.000.000. She would immediately set her sights on the New World, feeling that she was now ready to hang with the kings of the sea. Within her first few months in the New World, she had waged was with Orange P. Eel, a rookie like her, who had already fought and escaped two of the Sankō since his arrival to the New World some months ago, all at the age of only 22. Their battle had ended in a draw, and Vígdís, seeing something in him, had knelt a knee and allow her crew of 1,756 men to serve beneath his of only 156.
While her goal was still to take down the other emperors, she has a promise to fulfill. Taking a small portion of her crew sailing for Marineford, she had went to war against the marines. As promised, after a two days battle at the marine, she allowed Benjamin Fox to take her into custody. She was given a life sentence in level 6 Impel Down, an achievement which was enough for Benjamin to be promoted to Admiral status. Vígdís of course had her reasons for wanting to be in Impel Down however. Joker. For years the name has been passed down and given to the most powerful figure in the Underworld. The current joker ran the underworld from within Impel Down. Impel Down was every bit as hellish as she had been told. She had been stripped of her augmentations, which made it easy for the monsters she had to share her cell with to take advantage of her. Joker himself was a well kept secret, and it took her three years of digging and earning trust before she learnt who it was. Once she learned who, it took another two years of scheming to make his clientel, her clientel
Having accomplished what she was after, she had setup a breakout by her crew, a breakout she had been planning for over a year. By time the Marines knew she was gone, it was too late. During her time in prison, with the help of her crew Orange had achieved emperor status. She would be lying if she said she wasn't jealous, but of course, she had counted on it. Which was why she also had four of her sons biding time to stage a coup for when she would return. Even for Orange, the strength of her sons was too much for him, and when he fled, half of the crew had left with him, and half had stayed. Her fours sons served under her, which in her weakened state was enough to ensure none of her crewmen refuted her.
Alas, her reckless attitude as captain had led their crew to losing more battles than they won, and it became abundantly clear that she was unfit to lead. She would have been mad at her sons if she wasn't proud at their ability to betray even her as they realized her incompetence. That didn't mean she took it well however, as she had resolved to fight before ever giving up her spot. Fighting all four of her sons, with their strength, it didn't take long for them to subdue her. However, she refused to surrender, and so she took to the seas, where she was taught dead. Some days later, she were found by the marines. Deciding that sending her back to Impel Down would be risky, she was left in the hands of the World Government. Her sons would all go on to become known as the “Yonkō” each reigning over the north, east, south and west, their ongoing war known as the “Cardinal War”.
They would spend the next few months trying to turn her into a weapon of their own once again, and eventually they would succeed. However, they had went too far and she had been trauma to the point she lost her will. No longer of use, she was relegated to a mere slave. Her sons had heard the news, but each had decided that in her present state she was useless to them, especially in their ongoing war. It would be Orange D Peel, who would take up arms against Mariejois forces to rescue her. Amidst all the fighting however, Vígdís, in a panic, had managed to freeze almost the entire continent over. Accidentally trapping herself in a block of ice, she had fell into the sea, her body remaining in stasis at the bottom of the sea.
Almost 300 years later, the block of ice was retrieved by the World Government once more. They would spend the next couple months repairing her mind so that she could be a weapon for them as part of the New Valkyrie Project. Her time spent within the ice had waned her strength, and her will was still shaken, and so she was designated to a marine branch for training until the time came for her to join the ranks of the Cipher Pol.

All three prosthetics are designed to blend in however, with the arm and leg being skin coloured and able to function like a regular arm without flaw, and her eyes looking as a regular eye would, and so, most people could never tell the difference except for the weight. She is personally comfortable with her amputations however, and so, she usually has no qualms to taking them off in front of others, and in her downtime, usually goes without them, preferring to hop around on one leg than carry the pieces of shit around.

Unique laugh: Woof woof woof! & Hohohohoho!
Hometown: Miðgarðr
Personality: Vigdis is best described as "a hard pill to swallow".
A former pirate, she retains all the traits of her former career. She is not your goody too shoes brand of pirate unfortunately. She has killed, she has pillaged, she has plundered, she has raped, she has done it all, and even as a Marine, she continues to do so where opportune. And even as a Marine, she spends most of her days in various bars around North Blue either drinking until she is passed out drunk, fucking whatever breathes or fighting until she is black and blue.
To most, it seems she rarely, if ever, takes anything seriously. She's carefree and can die with a smile at her lips as long as she had her share of fun. And unfortunately for those around her, there is virtually nothing she wouldn't find fun. If one person finds it fun, then she will make the best out of a bad situation and find her own entertainment.
As a Marine she remains a controversial figure, unafraid to do whatsoever she pleases. She is a perpetual joker and is provocative to a fault. She enjoys nothing more than goading on those around her, and regularly does so regardless the circumstance. She would insult superiors and equals alike, and would be disappointed if there wasn't some kind of penalty for her disrespect. She does deny being a masochist however, and honestly thinks those people are the real crazy ones.
While most would see her as a joker, and so think she's stupid, she's anything but. While she maintains a facade of nonchalance, she is in fact always planning, always scheming, always analysing. She didn't become a first class pirate through her strength, but rather her brains. She is a genius in her own right, especially when it comes to psychological warfare
Patience is a virtue which she bares more than anyone. She can spend years playing and assuming a role until the moment is right to make a move. And so, she is never to be trusted. She believes in the long con, and to her a good con is just as good as a good fight.
While her loyalty may be hard to earn, she does believe greatly in nakamaship. She would die for those whom are loyal to her, and vice versa. She overall has a "wolf pack mentality", as she knows there's strength in numbers, however this mentality also means she believes only the strongest is meant to lead. If someone can prove their worth to her, she would gladly bend a knee and follow then to gel and back until they prover unfit to lead. Weakness will not be tolerated.
She is known to at times put a great deal of interest in religion, fate, and even the dreams of men. She strongly worships the germanic gods, regularly praying to them and doing things in their order, which still doesn't stop her from insulting even them, but still her faith is strong. With that, her seemingly reckless behavior can best be attributed to her own belief in fate and destiny.
She is known to be often times have contradicting views of feminism and misogyny. She identifies as more male than female, and believes that women are to be submissive and obedient. Still, she's anything but delusional, and so she's not one to deny she's still more man than woman. She's not adverse to using her feminine charms to get her way, and is often a bit of a mother hen when she's around the guys, often times cleaning or cooking for her crew.
Like most pirates she is naturally a very quirky person, with three quirks in particular standing out. The first is her terrible relationship with cats; for some reason the like fur balls absolutely hate her guts and the mere sight of her causes them to attack her. The second is her inability to stay on land for too long; a sailor at heart, being on land for any more than a few hours causes her diarrhoea. Lastly, she is incapable of opening doorknobs. She also has a fear of chickens.
Alas, while the Viking woman maintains her dominant personality, it is a little known fact that she is a but a shell of herself. Not just, physically, but psychologically. She is eternally doomed to follow rather than to lead, for without another person to give her commands and tell her what to do, she reverts to the weak, acted little girl she once was.
- History:
Over three hundreds years ago, Vígdís had been born "Skadi Snorridottír", the only daughter of seven sons to the meager farming couple. Her homeland, Miðgarðr, was a winter island in North Blue and home to three particular races that had migrated there over the years. Giants, wolf minks and humans. Growing up Vígdís had been considered a bastard and treated as an outcast by her father due to the rumors that her mother had been having an affair around the time.
The three tribes were constantly at war with each, and her village, was regularly the victim of attack by the wolf minks on nights of full moon. When she was seven she had watched as her brothers and mother be killed by the wolf minks while her father and older brothers were out raiding south. The next morning, she had taken one of her father's swords and went marching into the wolves village, intent on killing the chief. The chief didn't oppose, allowing her to kill him if she so pleased. Alas, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
The chief suspected that she was possibly her daughter as he had been one of the many who once had an affair with her mother. He allowed her to stay with them. She refused. He insisted still, and agreed to let her leave on one condition: if her father came for her, then they could leave without intrusion. Alas, her father never came, and so she would spend the next couple years being raised by her alleged father.
When she was thirteen, Miðgarðr had been invaded by the World Government. Their forces had been too much even for the three tribes United, and her home had been decimated. She would be admitted into a program to create soldiers for their forces, a prototype to the pacifistas. [ You may not make reference to Pacifistas. ] She would spend the next two years being one of their lap dogs, until the day she met Ra G. Nar, Captain of the Ragnarok pirates.
Ra had the Color of the Supreme King, which was enough to break the hold the government's mind control. After sailing with the crew for two years however, she would betray them for a rookie crew, the Barkin Pirates, led by Josefin Barkins. Her name would gradually grow infamy across the four blues as she sailed with them, and before long they had resolved to campaign in the Grand Line. Within their first month in the Grand Line, the crew had suffered a devasting lost at the hands of another rookie crew. The entire crew was left for dead, however Vígdís had barely managed to avoid completely bleeding out.
Her power had wane with the defeat, and with it, so did her will. Having settle onto a small island where no one knew of her, she had lived a life of poverty for a year. That was until Benjamin Fox, a marine captain had stumbled upon her. He could have arrested her, but instead he made a gamble. Putting his job in the line, he had commissioned for upgrades to be made to her using the marines technology. His only condition was that she would use it to get stronger and achieve infamy, and someday allow herself to be captured by him.
Her time spent in poverty and her devastating lost had been enlightening regardless. It helped her realize that she, like most pirates, was simply playing checkers, while the bugs wig of the Grand Line was playing chess. And so, she had made s calculate decision to take up residence on a sky island. From her perch, she didn't have to take action, simply let her underlings keep her name and her crew within infamy, while she herself focused on her new interest. Underworld brokering.
After seven years, she would return to sea, stirring up a storm as she did. Seeks take the New World, where after carrying out a few campaigns, she had met Orange P. Eel, a rookie pirate whom she had bested in battle. Despite his crew being far less infamous than her own, she had made the decision to become a subordinate crew to his.
Eventually, she would fulfill her promise to Benjamin Fox. The two fought for days, before she was eventually bested and imprisoned at Impel Down. She would spend the next couple years learning the works of underworld brokering. The biggest broker in the underworld was based there, and she would spend the next couple years making their clientel her own. [ Underworld brokers are informally important characters in Revival Dawn's lore. You may not be a big shot underworld broker. You'll have to earn that. Also, definitely no to breaking out of Impel Down in your history. Impel Down breakouts are major historical events. This is an instance of you affecting RevDawn's lore. ]
Once she had made a name for herself, she had orchestrated for her sons to break her out. Thanks to her crew, Orange had made a name for himself as one of the big wigs of the New World. Vígdís had expected as much, and had her sons train in preparation for the day she was released from prison. With her four sons, they had overthrown Orange and reclaim her crew.
Now a captain and a big wig within the underworld community, Vígdís now had it all. However, she was still reckless and thrill seeking, and her actions constantly put the crew at risk. Eventually, her sons had made the decision to remove her as captain, even if it meant by force. She was proud honestly. To think they actually had the will to oppose her. They had managed to defeat her, however in last ditch effort, she had attempted to drown herself at sea. Her legacy was complete and there was no way she could be denied access to Valhalla. She could die knowing this.
Alas, it wasn't her time yet. Some days later, she woke up within the Holy Land. It wasn't Valhalla unfortunately, not was it the Christians heaven. It was Mariejois. The Marines had found her at sea, and refusing to imprison her once more, knowing it would most likely lead to another break out, she was placed in the lands of the World Government. They would spend the next couple months brainwashing and turning her into a slave.
She would live a year as nothing but a slave and shell of her former self. Eventually however, word had gotten out that she was in fact alive. Her sons had all thought many times about rescuing her, but alas they were all caught up in warring with each other over who rightfully deserved to lead her grand fleet. Eventually, it would be Orange who would take up arms against the government to rescue her. [ If you're implying that Orange attacked Mary Geoise, then please remove that. Again, this would be a major historical incident. ]
Vígdís however, frantic by the war that waged around her, had attacked everyone around her, nearly freezing the holy continent over. [ Huh? What? How did she freeze the entire continent? No, no, no. ] Her body trapped within a block of ice that was lost at sea. Three hundred years later, the Marines had stumbled upon the block of ice that had kept her within status for the years passed.
She was thawed and instated not as a Marine, but as a weapon. Her memory of her past has been spotty as best.

Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:03 pmHello! I haven't had to deny an app before so please bare with me. No comments in red this time. While we are delighted that you have shown interest in the site, I am going to have to ask you to redo your entire history and make sure that it reflects a level 10/100 character or a level 1/100 character if you're not going to start at level 10.
You have written a history that is so grandiose and so amazing that your character would not only be equal to Gol D. Roger in the canon, but perhaps even surpass him. For that reason, we can not allow such a thing on a community based site. If you find a site that is based on writing self-contained fan-fiction stories, then your history will work out swimmingly.
However, that is not the purpose of this site. So I'm going to need you to just make a more reasonable history all around.
(Also the only elemental abilities that exist here that you can use without a devil fruit are generating fire, generating wind based slashes, utilizing fishman karate to bend water and utilizing electro to shock people. There are no such ice-based techniques outside of the Hie Hie no Mi, which is taken! :] So please fix that as well.)
Otherwise, the app looks awesome, so please just make the changes I have asked for and then you're good to go. If not, thank you for showing interest but this might not be right for you and the character you're trying to play.
