Berserker Specialization

 

"To be a Berserker, you have to face your own inner rage. Let the spirit of battle take over, or whatever...The bedrock is, you get mad, and you kill things."

-Warden Oghren
 

Kaisa is a berserker, and she's willing to teach other people to be a berserker, as well. Kaisa will admit that the brunt of berserker training really isn't that hard. You get mad, you yell a lot, you hit things. Hopefully, you kill the things. However, she'll go on to say that if you're interested in actually mastering this specialization, you can't just let the rage control you--you have to be able to control the rage, be able to master it, and use it, just like you would another weapon.

After all, you have to let your teammates be able to trust that you aren't going to turn that rage against them.

Requirements:

• Positive CR with Kaisa: She's not going to do any favors for anyone on her shitlist. If your character found their way onto that shitlist but you still want them to learn, we can discuss your character's road to repentance ooc (it'll involve buying drinks and arm wrestling).
• Warrior: Or at least pretty muscley. Berserkers take a lot of damage, and you have to be willing to take the hits so you can land the hits. She's not going to let anyone who looks particularly squishy try their hand at it.
• Willing to get knocked around: Learning to become a berserker, and being one, involves getting hit. You're going to have to be down with that if you wanna be a berserker.
• Ability to get mad: Don't worry, Kaisa is pretty good at making people mad. She'll happily work with your character for this.

I'm willing to play out the asking/training/whatever or just handwave it! Let me know what you want.

Status

Just showed back up from Griffin Wing Keep with a hella tan and even bigger biceps, and she's here to help the Wardens and deadlift druffalo.

Reputation

That berserker Warden who is even more eager than usual to get killed apparently, as she likes diving headfirst into danger. Totally fine with people knowing that she's got elf blood, she doesn't talk about it a lot but she doesn't keep it a secret. She's also known among the Wardens as a bit of a flirt, and enjoys sparring with other people.

Hooks

Kaisa is available for training someone who wants to unlock the berserker spec, or for training for fighting in general. She's also down with friendly spars! She will try to be there for anything related to the Wardens, and she's happy to talk to people about the Wardens. She'll keep the Warden secrets, but she'll do her best to assuage people the best that she can. She's also down for drinking and hanging out. She loves to find people who are way too uptight and get them to chill the fuck out.

Approval & Gifts

APPROVES+ Positivity about the Wardens + Friendly spars + Positivity about elves / elf-blooded folks + DOGS + Being brave in combat	DISAPPROVES- Negativity about Wardens - Picking on people weaker than you - Being rude to elves / elf-blooded folks - ORLAIS - Being a weenie
GIFTS Kaisa is a pretty easy person to please with gifts. She loves anything that has to do with dogs particularly, but she also likes anything alcoholic--the stronger the better. She isn't a fan of fancy things, particularly if they look even vaguely Orlesian, but she likes leathers, sword care tools, armor care tools, simple foods.
