Stony Harbour Character – Erik Olsen
Name: Erik Olsen
Guild: Weatherwatch
Bearing: Ardeonaut
Backstory: Erik Olsen is an Australian firefighter taking a sabbatical after loosing a close friend on the job a little over a year ago.
The day had started like many others that week. Bushfires were ravaging the vast country side of rural Victoria and they had been rushed down to help the overwhelmed local forces. having done some impressive work in guiding the fire away from a small cattle station Erik and his crew where returning to their temporary base of operations to clean up, grab a feed and some well deserved rest. Being in such high spirits Erik allowed one of the younger members of his crew, Paul, to drive the rig for the very first time. Half way back they received an urgent call over the radio. The winds had abruptly changed direction and the fire was now headed straight for their location. The fire now bearing down on them the rush was on to get out before they where completely overwhelmed. The wall of flames was growing steadily higher when an old gumtree gave way crashing down onto the bonnet of the rig. Somehow Erik’s seatbelt failed and he was flung through the windshield of the rig. passing out before he even hit the ground.
Waking up in a hospital bed days later, miraculously with only minor injuries he discovered the Paul had not been so lucky and took the full impact from the falling tree.
Suffering from a bit of survivors guilt but wanting to honour the vibrant memory of his fallen colleague Erik is on a Backpacking adventure through the states, one of Pauls many bucket list items. Where he is drawn into the sleepy town of Stony Harbour
High Concept: Buutt shenanigans,
The jovial Aussie has always been blessed with good fortune, resulting in his willingness to accept dares and participate in foolish competitions.
Trouble: Survivors Guilt.
After loosing Paul in a devastating accident, Erik has been suffering from survivors guilt. Wondering why he escaped the crash when is comrade didn’t. For this reason Erik now struggles, not only with the guilt but, to let anyone close to him be exposed to any sort of danger.
(Having a profession that involves saving lives Erik is willing to do just about anything to help and protect those he cares most about)
