Dragonhunter OC × Nightfury Rider

‎ ‎ ‎

After shooting down none other than the Offspring of Lightning and Death itself, Vidar is ordered by his superior Viggo Grimborn to secure it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Easier said than done, because that Nightfury has a rider.

Vidar was born on a ship, travelling the seas. Dragon hunters on the move taking jobs wherever needed. His mother died shortly after his birth, leaving only him and his father, whom Vidar loved dearly.

‎ ‎ ‎

They took work on Berk, tasked with killing nesting Monstrous Nightmares, when the chief's son turned out to be befriending a Nightfury of all dragons. Instead of executing the boy or the dragon, Berk soon changed into embracing dragons, forbidding to hunt or hurt them.

‎ ‎ ‎

Vidar and his father were part of a small group refusing to change their ways, planning on leaving Berk. Before they could depart, Vidar's father was attacked and killed by a Monstrous Nightmare before his eyes. The chief tried to keep the peace, calling it an accident and forgiving the dragon.

‎ ‎ ‎

Full of rage and alone, Vidar left Berk, taking work as a stablehand in a dragon-fighting arena to make a living. His skills were quickly noticed and offered a place as a Dragonhunter under Viggo's command. Five years later, he'd worked his way towards second in command, swearing revenge on the Berkians that he blames for his father's death. His loyalty is only matched by his willingness to do what's needed through blood and death.

‎ ‎ ‎

As the crew shoots down a Nightfury, Vidar can't help but be reminded of Berk, of that wretched Hiccup and it just makes him angrier.
