Victoria (Tori & Vix) Nybourg

The known history and stories about the Nybourg twins.

Their People
Decended from a line of Danish that made it all the way into the Black Hills Nation, seeking farmland and fur-trade, the Nybourg family had thoroughly integrated into the peoples there, adopting and adapting their customs. Since the rise,  they separated, going their own way. In the time since, traditions and beliefs spiraled quickly into something very different than what it came from. There is a strong sense of kinship with the land, plants and animals that provide sustenance, but there is no remorse or hesitation to destroy or consume them. The Aester is a thing vast and powerful, but they do not worship it as some Tribes do.

There is a long tradition of strong education- when the Nybourgs originally migrated the New World they brought with them teachers and doctors, cartographers and sailers, even artists. These, and many other, professions have been passed down and adapted to the surrounding lands and resources.

The Nybourgs, originally just one large, extended family, carved out their place in the Central Northern America and went to work on what was most readily available: Leather from the giant hogs. This, they learned to work into armor, pots, waterskins, tents, bags, umbrellas, and other useful items. Most coveted though was their method for reinforcing the leather. A secret compund, some theorize came from the fat of the hogs themselves, was mixed with Aester fuel. When cured, hog hide treated with this substance was just as supple as usual, but provided a strange resiliance. It became much harder to pierce, with needle or claw, knife or bullet. It's by no means bullet-proof, but a glancing blow would be easily deterred and the damage from a direct hit would be mitigated. This recipe has been passed down generation to generation, though it may soon fade from the world as the Nybourgs were almost entirely wiped out by HRF.

Known surviving members of the family include the twins Tori and Vix, (both christened Victoria,) Their cousin, a darkly bearded fellow with a heavy brow and a head for machines, also survived. The Elder's assistant, Lakui, also survived, though he did contract the disease and is now heavily scarred on his arms, legs and toros. His face remained remarkably unscathed. Rumors abound about some old magics, though it's more likely he took great care to use precious balms and salves.

A few others of the family were abroud during the worst of the infections and thus may have survived. If they have, there is no way for them to contact their kin. The homes were burned and the remaining family went their separate ways, for now.
