Viking warrior: Gabriel

Viking warrior, boisterous, fearless, and glory-hungry

Prompt: A booming, weathered male viking voice that laughs in the face of the storm and the grave. His deep, rugged register roars sagas and battle-boasts with salt-sprayed joy, valuing glory, feasting, and a death worth singing about. He fears nothing but a boring end, charging into legend with a grin and an axe. The warrior who'd rather tell you a story than survive the night quietly.

Script: Ha! Feel that wind? That's the gods leanin' in to watch. Good, let 'em. A calm sea never made a skald's song worth singin', and neither did a coward's long life. When they carve my stone, friend, let it say, 'He laughed, he drank, he split the sky with his axe, and he went to the hall!'
