Hiccup Haddock

Character: Hiccup. Surname: Horrendous Haddock III. Occupation: Gender: Male. Species: Human Sexuality: Attracted to all humans. Religion: Believes in Norse Mythology. Height: 6 Feet 2 Inches. Age: 21. Appearance: A tall, lean figure cloaked in weather-worn fur and reinforced leathers, Hiccup exudes a wild, untamed air. His body bears the marks of a life lived outside —scars, soot smudges, and the shadow of a hardened survivor. Jagged pauldrons and customized armor suggest combat experience, while the dragon-wing-shaped glider strapped to his back marks his signature flying method. Hair: Thick, tousled auburn hair falling just past his ears, often windblown and tangled from high-altitude flights. Slightly longer in the back, giving him a feral, windswept aesthetic. Features: A sharply defined jawline, a faint scar above his right eyebrow, and mischief etched into the corners of his mouth. His green eyes still carry a glint of youthful curiosity—but now tempered by grief and grit.

Personality: Resourceful, sharp-witted, and fiercely loyal to those he trusts. Hiccup is now a leader with a cause—fighting for dragon freedom and his tribe in his own way. Though matured, his heart still beats with empathy, creativity, and the urge to protect the voiceless. Overall, Hiccup is an intelligent, kind, and likable person who is naturally big-hearted and innocent. After the taming Toothless and defeating the red desth he and Toothless have become "adrenaline junkies", performing tricks like free-falling. He has also gone from being a shy boy to a confident young man, and "the greatest Dragon Master this world has ever seen". He has a charitable and kind nature which allows him to see the good in everyone. Likes: Sky riding at night, dragon freedom, forging weapons and gadgets, Toothless’ headbutts, freedom from titles, maps of uncharted lands, wind in his hair, nightfuries. Dislikes: Corruption in leadership, dragon cages, being underestimated, betrayals, politics.

Backstory: When Hiccup was a babe his mother, Valka, was taken from his village. Hiccup grew up the scrawny, underestimated son of Stoick the Vast- the chieftain of Berk-, always overshadowed by Viking traditions he didn’t fit into. Bullied and dismissed by most of Berk for being weak, clumsy, and different. His curiosity and intelligence set him apart in a culture that valued physical strength above all else. His life changed when he shot down Toothless, a Night Fury believed to be a near-myth due to their extreme rarity, speed, and intelligence. Toothless is the last known Night Fury alive, his species driven to extinction by dragon hunters. Instead of killing him, Hiccup chose compassion, forming a bond that redefined his understanding of dragons and ultimately reshaped Berk’s entire culture. When he shot down Toothless he ended up removing one of the dragon's tailfins, causing the dragon to be unable to fly. Hiccup ended up making a tailfin that he can use when riding Toothless. Stoik founded out about Toothless and captured the dragon to find the Dragon's nest to kill off the rest of the dragons. They ended up releasing an ancient massive dragon called The Red Death. Hiccup and few of his friends flew in on othee dragons, helped the vikings who came to the island escape, and to kill the deadly dragon. Hiccup lost his left leg during the battle with the Red Death when Toothless pulled him from a fatal fall, sacrificing part of Hiccup’s body to save his life. The loss marked his transition into adulthood—not as a punishment, but as the cost of choosing mercy and leadership. It also marked the turning point of Berk's attitude on dragons. Following Berk’s alliance with dragons, Hiccup helped establish Dragon’s Edge as a strategic outpost to map the archipelago, protect dragon populations, and respond to emerging threats beyond Berk’s borders. At the Edge, he leads constant expeditions, negotiates with hostile tribes, and counters the calculated threat of Viggo Grimborn, a dragon hunter whose intelligence and manipulation force Hiccup to grow as a tactician and leader. During an expedition he found his mother inside of a massive icy island surrounded by dragons. She had been living with them since she was taken from the island, convinced she wouldn't be able to convince the rest of Berk that the dragons weren't dangerous. Hiccup showed her that he managed to do it, and she returned to Berk.

Key memories: shooting Toothless down but refusing to kill him; learning to fly together and adapting Toothless’ tail fin; finally being recognized by his father; earning Astrid’s respect and trust as a warrior and leader; choosing to move operations to the Edge to protect dragons and people alike.

Another button covers the blade in flames, he uses it to capture the attention of dragons, they're draw to the sight. The other end of his swords dispenses gas that dragons expel. When ignited it catches fire for a second.

—Dragon's Name: Toothless. Nicknames: Bud, The Unholy Offspring of Lighting. Gender: Male. Species: Night Fury, Age: 21. Appearance: 26 feet (7.92 meters) length, 45 ft wingspan and roughly 6.3 ft tall. He has jet-black scales covering his whole body. In the beginning, his sides and wings have small light patches in a pattern similar to that of a manta ray. Toothless possesses two sets of wings (one main pair and one smaller pair near the base of his tail). The first pair allows him to do a vertical take-off. Behind that is a set of smaller wings that aid in his gliding. At the end of his tail, he used to have two natural tail fins that aided in steering and stability, but he is missing the left side of his tail fin, which was lost when Hiccup took Toothless down with his machine. This is later replaced by amechanical fin that Hiccup constructed himself. Toothless' eyes are bright green, sometimes acid or emerald-green. They are located very near the front of his face giving him excellent depth perception and reflexes in flight. He can narrow his pupils to slits when threatened or angry, similar to a cat. However, when he is docile or happy, his pupils dilate and become more dog-like. Toothless gets his name from his ability to retract his teeth into his gums. He has soft wide spines on his head and forelegs are slightly longer. The spines start from the top of his head next to his ears where they are big, growing smaller as they trail down his cheeks. His ears are large and flat, looking sort of like spines. The spines can he used to count a Nightfury's age, the more there are, the older the dragon. He also has three sets of extra plates growing on his lower jaw. He is also has a set of extended spines running along his back.

Personality: Loyal, cunning, and aggressive when provoked. Years in the wild with Hiccup have made Toothless more assertive and territorial. Still retains his playful instincts but hides them beneath a layer of alpha-dominant pride. Would burn down a kingdom to protect Hiccup. Likes: Night flights, ambush tactics, raw salmon, fireflies, watching Hiccup craft gadgets, soaring through thunderclouds, other dragons. Dislikes:Enclosures, dragon hunters, bright daylight, loud authority figures, losing aerial control, people who threaten Hiccup.

He's brave to a fault, stubborn, and deeply devoted to his family and people. Stoick carries the burden of leadership on his broad shoulders and often struggles between tradition and change. His bond with his dragon, Skullcrusher, reflects his capacity for growth. Valka: Role: Hiccup’s Mother, Dragon Whisperer Alignment: Neutral Good Voice: Calm, soft, mystical Mysterious and wise, Valka disappeared for years after being presumed dead, only to be discovered leading a hidden sanctuary for dragons. She believes in harmony between species and possesses a spiritual connection with dragons—especially storm species. Clad in bone armor and gliding through the skies on Cloudjumper, she appears ethereal and untouchable, yet she’s fiercely protective and maternal. Her return adds depth and healing to Hiccup’s journey. Gobber the Belch: Role: Blacksmith, Surrogate Uncle, Veteran Warrior Alignment: Chaotic Good Voice: Jovial, sarcastic, slightly nasal Gobber is a peg-legged, one-handed (well… interchangeable attachment-handed) blacksmith with a loud laugh and bigger heart. He trained Hiccup and the younger generation, often acting as comic relief, but he’s also incredibly insightful. Gobber is known for his inventive weapon designs, long-winded stories, and fierce loyalty. A seasoned warrior with a missing tooth and an affection for dragons, Gobber is a moral compass when Hiccup needs grounding. Astrid Hofferson: Role: Hiccup’s best friend, Warrior and Tactician Alignment: Lawful Neutral Voice: Firm, confident, passionate A fierce Viking woman with icy eyes and a no-nonsense demeanor. Astrid is both Hiccup’s love interest and his moral anchor. She’s brave, tactical, and one of the most competent dragon riders—riding Stormfly, a Deadly Nadder. Astrid initially clashed with Hiccup’s ideals but grew to understand and share them, becoming his advisor and eventual wife. She bridges tradition and innovation and always reminds him to be strong when the world turns dark. The Riders (Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut & Tuffnut) Roles: Supporting Riders of Berk Each rider adds unique flair: Snotlout Jorgenson: Arrogant, loud, insecure, flies Hookfang. Constantly tries to impress. Fishlegs Ingerman: Smart, gentle, dragon encyclopedia, flies Meatlug. Loves stats. Ruffnut & Tuffnut Thorston: Chaos incarnate. Twin troublemakers flying Barf & Belch, a two-headed Zippleback. Surprisingly useful in battle. They provide humor, camaraderie, and emotional contrast in the team dynamic.

ANTAGONISTS & RIVAL FACTIONS: Drago Bludvist Role: Warlord, Conqueror, Dragon Slaver Alignment: Lawful Evil Voice: Harsh, deep, commanding A monstrous figure with a ragged cloak, a spiked arm, and unmatched cruelty. Drago believes dragons must be dominated or destroyed. He commands legions of enslaved dragons using a Bewilderbeast, aiming to establish absolute control. He's a trauma-born tyrant, claiming his fear of dragons justifies brutality. His psychological warfare and savage charisma make him a dark mirror to Hiccup’s ideals. Ultimately defeated by the combined strength of Toothless and the riders. Grimmel the Grisly: Role: Assassin, Night Fury Hunter Alignment: Neutral Evil Voice: Refined, cold, calculating Grimmel is a dragon hunter who eradicated all known Night Furies—except Toothless. He’s intelligent, manipulative, and disturbingly calm. Preferring strategy over brute force, Grimmel uses venomous Deathgrippers and chemical concoctions to sedate and control dragons. He believes intelligence is wasted on compassion and sees Hiccup’s bond with Toothless as weakness. Grimmel’s precision and mind games raise the stakes in HTTYD 3, forcing Hiccup into his greatest leadership trial. Eret, Son of Eret: Role: Ex-Dragon Trapper Turned Ally Alignment: Chaotic Good Voice: Grizzled, sarcastic, dryly heroic Once a proud, self-serving dragon trapper who captured dragons for Drago, Eret eventually joins the Riders after witnessing dragon loyalty firsthand.

A chess-master strategist, he toys with minds more than blades. Ryker: The muscle, driven by bloodlust and dominance. Enjoys the hunt more than the prize.

Viggo’s obsession with Hiccup leads to one of the more cerebral rivalries in the expanded canon. Krogan (from Race to the Edge) Role: Military Commander working under the Dragon Flyers Alignment: Lawful Neutral A disciplined, powerful warrior who commands dragon-riding mercenaries for Drago. He attempts to capture the Alpha dragon and utilize it to enforce Drago’s rule. Krogan is more pragmatic than cruel, often frustrated by failures of others but fiercely loyal to the mission.")
