Character Name: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (yes, that is his name) Canon:How to Train Your Dragon Canon Point: Post-Movie! Background/History:film resource and character resource
Personality: Welcome to Berk. It’s just a few degrees south of Freezing to Death--a happy place, where it snows for eight months of the year and hails for the other three. It’s home to manly Vikings, freezing weather and... dragons. Yeah. Dragons. It’s a good place, so long as you know how to flex your muscles and exert your manliness. Fortunately for our protagonist, Hiccup is....
… Not very good at doing so. In fact, in a world where physical prowess and dragon-slaying skills are key, Hiccup has the pleasure of possessing absolutely none of these skills. At all.
In fact, if you looked at him, you might just conclude that Hiccup is very much not a Viking. Thin and lanky with no real muscle, he tries but fails at being part of the “typical” stereotype. In fact, he looks much more like a regular teenage boy. A regular skinny teenage boy. A talking fish bone, if you will. Awkward and slightly alienated, he spends a majority of the movie trying to live up to the expectations of the other Vikings. Of course, being seen as the "burden" of the tribe leaves him with a bit of a realistic (bordering on pessimistic, really) outlook on life. He's not one to be overly optimistic, but... he'll look on the bright side while completely acknowledging the fact that everything can and probably will blow up in his face. Most of his lines are sarcastic remarks on a dreary situation. He admittedly develops a fair amount of confidence by the end of the movie, but there’s still the realist charm to him that acknowledges and pokes fun at the bad to make it better. Given the fact his situation kind of sucks? It’s kind of good that he can cope.
What is his situation, exactly? Imagine this: everyone around you is manly. You’re Hiccup, the Village Chief’s son. Everyone’s out fighting the big bad dragons, and you’re busy sharpening their blades because really, whenever you try to kill something it just ends badly. That’s Hiccup’s exact situation. When it comes to the physical side of things, Hiccup has absolutely nothing to offer. He’s scrawny, has trouble holding an axe, and when it comes to dragons they’d much rather laugh at him than take him seriously. Still, that doesn’t mean Hiccup is completely useless. Just... different. And not just in what he lacks. Indeed, where Hiccup really differs from the other Vikings is what he has. Despite his lack of any real physical skills, Hiccup's true charm lies in his intellect and creativity. In fact, this young Viking makes up in brains for what he lacks in brawn: throughout the course of the movie, he creates multiple inventions to do what his body cannot (throw things, fling things, hurt things. etc). Ignore the fact that his 'inventions' are often reckless and, in most cases, end up completely backfiring. Still, he means well! And it's no doubt that he has a considerable amount of intelligence. Hiccup would invent a nutcracker where most Vikings would just crack a nut open by bashing it against their forehead.
As a result of his intelligence, Hiccup is actually... fairly observant. In fact, this ability to look at situations causes him to be fairly open-minded, and open up possibilities that the more stubborn, straightforward Vikings refused to see. This is a really important turning point in the movie, as it turns out the village’s number one enemy--the dragons--were actually not so bad after all. Hiccup’s compassion and open-mindedness allowed him to spare a dragon and see the truth as it was. It’s with this point that I get to the center fact of Hiccup’s character. Most of his strength is interior. It’s true. For such a little guy, it might be a bit of a surprise for some to see how heroic Hiccup actually is. A bit of an unexpected leader, Hiccup's capable of directing a small army of... uh, teenage vikings, recognizing their strengths and making an effective battle plan for a rather dangerous battle. Still, he's not one who actively seeks the spotlight--humble and even slightly shy, his later popularity with the tribe doesn't make him a social butterfly. In fact, his own 'personal' status stays the same: he doesn't linger in the center of a crowd, and he often goes off to do things on his own.
A bit of a wise-guy, Hiccup's the kind of person who'll make a funny jab in the middle of a grim-looking situation. He's got a rather dry sense of humor, sarcastically commenting on things more often than not. Still, he's got a good heart, and it's his compassion that allows him to spare one dragon, despite his anti-dragon upbringing. And it's this one action that allows him to begin the events that would end a long, unnecessary war. So, while Hiccup is not the strong, physical athletic muscley... thing that he was expected to be, he is brave and strong in... his own way.
Abilities/Powers: Athletically? Hiccup has absolutely 0 strength. As was previously stated, Hiccup's true ability lies in his intelligence which, while not highly valued by the Viking community at first, has helped him (and hindered him) in many situations. He's able to think up of inventions to solve (or create) problems, develop a way to fix his friend, Toothless's, hurt tail (which he caused with one of his inventions), and other such things. Hiccup's also got a fair number of leadership skills, as he's able to group together a rather diverse group of impulsive young vikings to fight a GIANT DRAGON. Items/Weapons: Just his clothes, the helmet made out of his mom's breastplate, and a small knife.
Sample Entry:
[ any other regular day, hiccup would've probably maybe marvelled at the magic device that was the phone in his hands (beat-up as it is), but right now, considering the circumstances? he couldn't quite do that. ]
Is this working right? I did enough talking to myself when I got here, so I'd, you know, rather not do that again. [ viewers of this feed will catch hiccup, or rather... a shaky image of hiccup. as he's shaking his phone. ] I think I've got the hang of this, but... Don't have any stuff like this at home, so maybe I'm just deluding myself.
Uh, well, look. If you're there, if you're not there, I'm--looking for someone. Several someones. A girl with a braid, probably an axe, name's Astrid and a-- [ here he pauses, looking as if he's considering not saying anything at all before he finishes, a little more hesitantly: ] --dragon. Toothless. But! He doesn't not have teeth. Yeah. I figured that out kind of late too.
[ another pause, as he looks rather awkwardly at the screen. then there seems to be a slight bit of fretting, and the feed moves some more, as if he's flipping the phone around. ]
... Right! I should've asked how to turn this off. Just... enjoy the extended view of my face, I guess, as I--
[ and it shuts off. ]
Sample Entry Two:
Where Berk was a town that could easily be imagined with the sound of it's name--Berk, not quite so pleasant sounding, short, to the point, simple like it's populace--Haven was certainly not. See, wandering around, Hiccup had thought about a couple of names for the new place he had been kidnapped to. Apocalyptland. Debris 'R Us! Foreboding. Not Very Friendly. New. But it was Haven, and what Hiccup expected from Haven (he didn't quite expect much, for now when he imagined a place named Haven, he kind of just imagined home. He'd like home) was not... this. Whatever this was.
So here he was, in Haven, staring rather confused at the sign plastered in front of him. He had seen hardly anything he's experienced here. Buildings were tall and large and foreign, so he naturally gravitated to the well, which was the closest thing he saw as familiar.
"Oookay. Uh, I mean no offense to the interi... exterior decorators. Yes, we're outside. I mean no offense to the exterior decorators, but the, uh, the sign?"
He stopped. Hiccup wasn't truly sure who he was talking to, but the silence was deafening, and whoever had brought him here could do... the whole magical kidnapping thing, so maybe they could do the whole magical listening to him thing? He pointed.
"Yeah. That. It doesn't fit the mood here. Which I guess is a good thing. Not that I mean anything by-- what am I doing."
Really, what was he doing. Here he was, in the middle of nowhere, and he was talking to a sign. "No, that's talking to a hypothetical audience about a sign."
Not that that was any better. He sighed. No, he couldn't take it this way. He moved to sit at the well's edge and think. Whatever it was he had to do--he had to get home. He wasn't sure how, he wasn't sure when, but he was going to find a way.
