Jeans with armor: OK for practice, tacky any other time.
The sword, I'd say really isn't a Norse style, but we're looking at such a mashup Dragonforce clusterfuck I can't even say it's a Norseman I'm looking at.
The greaves are badly extended meat-socks in need of reinforcement to stop anyhting more forceful than incidental contact from a "Little Rascal" scooter (Which will NOT, BTW, qualify you for Vallhalla if you fall back screaming and die from it)
The pauldrons on chain like that make the armor in "13th Warrior" look more accurate by comparison, and I wish this man biting mites in his back hair so he can learn why they don't work.
There's nothing on his elbows, and he needs to learn that no amount of imagined awesome will protect your funnybone in a fight.
His hat... well, that jsut looks like he caught a bull fucking a turkey, dove in to play, and kept wearing what was left.

Or laugh maniacally.
I meant the garb.
Seriously, I've never met such a sassy viking.
Now that you all point it out, I see it, yeah.
It's pretty much the bigass beard that ties it all together.
And indeed, why the jeans?? It's not that hard to just wear something black or brown, is it.
Vikings didn't even WEAR black or brown pants, though! They wore the most obnoxious stripes and colors they could get their hands on.
Heh. For real?
I just said black or brown to put it in the background and make it less obviously "21st century blue jeans".

Fuck, why not right? I mean if you are going to run over and pillage villages you might as well look FABULOUS while doing it. I know that's what I do when I raid villages.
Outlandish? Check
Known? Check
Noted? Check
Musically accompanied by a background of weeping screams and howling cries of agony? Check.
People want you to leave before you even got there? Check.
... AKK is a Viking?!!

Trust me, the vikings were the original FABULOUS. Mismatched colors, necklaces of precious metals and stones, gold and bronze jewelry and tools pinned all over your garb...And they brushed their hair too, those fucking heathens.
Vikings are one of few historical examples of white people knowing how to roll. The pirates adopted these traditions along with others.
ECH, for example, is proof this abiility i retained in certain bloodlines.
The Vikings weren't terrible.
The people writing about them just thought they were.
Seriously, they're like...the original trolls.
I mean...here you get this boatload of sassy young men with long, well combed and washed blonde hair, well maintained facial hair...dripping in their wealth and wearing awesome striped pants, simply looking to make a trade or two. And what happens? The Christians flip out, because they're "pagan", and accidentally on purpose knock off over a lamp, setting Lindesfarne Cathedral on fire.
The Vikings, looking to help their new friends, tried to put out the fire, but the monks freaked out, thinking they were being under attack from these heathens, and killed themselves as the Vikings continued to try to beat the fire off of the bricks. The surviving monks fled to the mainland, and wrote the account of this vicious attack, warning everyone in their path, but all the Vikings wanted to do was say hi as they passed through.
They were framed. Totally. Framed.
