Characters currently in-game: n/a

Character Motivation: There's a serious illness threatening everyone on her world, so she's pretty sympathetic to wanting to fix something like that. Plus it's a boring season for troll hunting. They probably left it pretty vague what she had to do to volunteer, but she wouldn't be super against it anyway. Sigrun goes with the flow.
VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Name: Sigrun Solveig Eide
Age: 32
Physical Appearance: here
Point in Timeline: After completing the first exploratory mission to the Silent World mostly successfully, and being picked up by the ship.
World Description:
❣ Stand Still. Stay Silent. (About)
❣ Stand Still. Stay Silent. (Wikipedia)
❣ Stand Still. Stay Silent is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a disease called the Rash wiped out a large portion of the world's population around 90 years ago. The status of the world outside the Nordic countries is not established in the comic, but Iceland has the largest population and area of safety as it shut its borders very early into the outbreak. There is also some population and safe area in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.
❣ The Rash starts as a skin ailment and quickly progresses, killing the non-Immune, reducing them to beasts (animals), trolls, and giants. With the end of the Old World (our modern world), the Old Gods came back to power, and there are mages who can commune with them to do magic. Sigrun is Immune but she is not a mage.
History/Background:
❣ Sigrun Eide (SSSS Wiki)
❣ Timeline/Table of Contents (SSSS Wiki)
❣ Table of Special Pages (SSSS Wiki)
Particularly notable events for Sigrun:
❣ Being chosen to go on the mission to explore the Silent World.
❣ Discovering Reynir, a non-Immune Icelandic stowaway who ended up in a crate that was supposed to carry supplies for the team.
❣ Putting herself between a monster and Reynir in order to protect him, which resulted in a wound on her arm that later became infected.
❣ After not taking care of her arm, the infection became severe enough that she was unable to protect Tuuri, a non-Immune member of her team, from an attack, which resulted in Tuuri's death.
❣ Having to leave behind Lalli and Emil, two teenage boys on her team. This left her feeling terrible about herself, and ready to be left behind herself (while in the depths of fever from her infected arm) and speak dramatically and self-deprecatingly about her leadership skills. She also said she felt, deep in her heart, that the boys weren't dead.
❣ The boys weren't dead, and they made it back to the meeting point in time, which she was extremely relieved about. Shortly after their arrival, a boat arrived to pick them up and take them back to the safe areas.
Noteworthy Positive Characteristics:
❣ Courageous: Sigrun is a Hunter Captain, an extremely dangerous occupation in her world where she leads a regiment of Hunters from her hometown. Throughout the comic, she mentions many incidents where terrible things happened - she was ambushed while backtracking, she considers someone competent if they survive a day on a mission - and yet she's still energetic and enthused about her job. In fact, she volunteered for something most people saw as a suicide mission, considering it a 'vacation.' While she makes every attempt to ensure that her team will survive, she's always eager to press forward and doesn't hesitate to throw herself into a fight. It takes a lot of courage to pull off this kind of attitude in a world as dangerous as the one Sigrun lives in.
❣ Protective: As the leader of the team, Sigrun is very aware of the fact that she needs to protect her crew, especially the ones that aren't immune to the Rash. While her words and actions may seem blunt and a little harsh at times, especially in emergency situations where she expects people to follow her instructions immediately for her own safety, she has no problem jumping in front of danger to protect her crew. She always puts herself on the front line, and in one particularly notable example, even threw herself physically between an attacking monster and one of her charges completely without hesitation, earning a nasty wound (and a set of terrible stitches) for her trouble.
❣ Enthusiastic: Energetic and vibrant, Sigrun is always ready to go. She has a generally very positive outlook on life, even when facing terrible odds, and even when she realistically expects to fail or be killed in the line of duty. She's always up to a challenge and ready to take on the world, and both her personality and voice simply ooze confidence and a bright enthusiasm that motivates the people around her.
Noteworthy Negative Characteristics:
❣ Ignorant: While she's very skilled in combat and has a great sense of tactics and a wealth of knowledge about weapons and the types of creatures she might run up against...Sigrun isn't exactly well-educated. She's willfully ignorant about most things beyond fighting and exploring, dislikes reading (and vegetables) and is extremely careless and flippant about her own safety and well-being. Occasionally, she can be flippant about the safety and well-being of her crew as well, though this is less often the case. She frequently makes jokes about her teammates that have an interest in reading for fun and education, and is generally fits the jock stereotype very well.
❣ Impulsive: In line with the above, Sigrun doesn't really think things through beyond basic tactics and being in tune with her surroundings. She makes rash decisions based on instinct or bravado, and throws herself into danger without being adequately prepared. This has led to a few dangerous situations over the course of the comic, and her lack of attentiveness to her own health and well-being results in one of the most terrible occurrences in the comic to date.
❣ Insensitive: Sigrun's ignorance and impulsivity both contribute to her lack of sensitivity to other people's feelings. Honest to a fault, she tends to blurt out painful truths or her own opinions (even when they're terrible opinions), without really putting any thought into whether she's going to hurt the feelings of her audience. She's very set in her ways and can be pretty judgmental about anything that deviates from her particular worldview (see, her opinion of people who like to read or eat vegetables) and doesn't hesitate to make her judgments known. Because of this, she frequently rubs other people the wrong way, so she has a tendency to get along best with other thick-skinned and honest people.
Powers/Abilities: Sigrun is an army captain, her parents are both generals, and she's been a soldier pretty much since birth. She's a great fighter, has a good grasp of tactics, and can figure out how to use weapons pretty efficiently. However, beyond that, she's not superhuman and some of her skills will require some serious updating to the modern world (she can't drive, isn't used to high-tech things, and doesn't even know what a computer or DVD is). Also of note, by her canon's standards, she is relatively uneducated and while she isn't quite illiterate, she is also not really the most booksmart.
Character Fears: Failure. Losing people. Being infected with the Rash or becoming a monster in any way.
Personal Item: Her dagger.
