What happened before and shortly after the apocalypse?:
Sweden had stretched out on his favorite sofa with a blanket draped over his body. The fireplace in his living room was crackling. He was enjoying his free time after a nice dinner by reading a novel. He flipped a page, using a finger to lift up his glasses when he felt a low rumbling, growing stronger and stronger until it gradually developed into a monstrous earthquake. The impact hit for a mere second, but Sweden knew better. He rushed and turned the gas off in his fireplace. Aftershocks were frequent when it came to earthquakes, and it was a miracle that the first wave had not caused an explosion through the gas piped in his fireplace.
Sure enough, the aftershock came. It lasted a few seconds, much longer than the original earthquake. As debris started to fall from the ceiling, Sweden had barely spared his body by diving under the dining table as his small chandelier crashed to the floor. All electricity was knocked off, and the house grew dark. Sweden could hear terror outside: Men screaming for their families, women weeping, and the shriek of children. It pained him to hear his own people like this, and he felt vulnerable, unable to take a step further from the safety of his kitchen table.
It wasn’t until the next morning that Sweden had been able to receive the full details of what had happened. He’d assumed that it had merely been an unexpected earthquake that had hit Stockholm. To his shock, however, he was informed that multiple areas of the nation had been hit. Storms and Earthquakes had taken over the lands, causing landslides and thousands of deaths in many different regions – Stockholm, Östergötland, Malmö, and Gothenburg were only a few from the list. The entire region of Skåne had been submerged entirely underwater and hundreds of thousands of innocent lives taken.
Although lucky his physical body had survived the impact, Sweden knew a majority of his people had not survived. He understood the chances of the arrival of another impact, and so he set out to gather the survivors-those who needed their country’s help now more than ever.
What are your character's top priorities and goals?
Sweden wants the survivors from his neighboring lands to come together to help one another, almost as if to merge to make a new nation. Although there have been many differences between the people of the lands in the past, Sweden believes those feelings had been influenced by harsh actions between the nations that had happened much too long ago. Since relations between the nations have slowly improved over the course of time, Sweden believes that the people could combine to support each other like a giant family.
Sweden also wants nothing more than survival. Raised a Viking, Sweden grew up learning that the world was about the survival of the fittest. After such a long period of time, Sweden does not plan on dying out now, and is confident his brothers feel the same way.
