Simon "He who lives without discipline dies without honor." - Icelandic Proverb Biographical Data     Name: Simon Arthur Harrow App Age: Early 30s DOB: August 19, 1983 Demeanor: Occupation: Height: 6'7" Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue Quote: Played By: Brock O'hurn Overview Harrow was born and bred in Pacific Northwest. He joined the Marine Corps after high school, just in time to be a part of Operation Enduring Freedom, otherwise known as the War in Afghanistan. He came home after several tours as a wounded veteran with a Purple Heart award. He says he owes his recovery to a renewed faith in the Old Ways, and a physical therapist who knocked sense into him. After that, he went back to school, gained a certification as a fitness trainer, and after a move to the Twin Cities, opened his own gym to serve the youth of the community. Interests Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them. Marine Corp Veteran - The paperwork says he received a Purple Heart and an Honorable Discharge for valor. He'll say that there is no such thing as a former, or ex-Marine. Just one no longer on active duty. Summit Fitness - He owns a gym that caters to youth, giving them a place to go after school where they can build their confidence and strength. The Old Ways - He calls himself a Heathen, following the old Norse religious practices, with a special interest in Thor. The 9 Virtues Courage - Both physical and moral courage. Stand up for what you believe in and what you know to be right and just, even if it’s not the popular opinion. Truth - There are different types of truth — spiritual truth and actual truth. Speak of what you know as Truth, rather than what you think others wish to hear. Swear no oath But what you mean to abide by: A halter awaits the word breaker, Villainous is the wolf-of-vows. Honor - One's reputation and moral compass. Our deeds, words, and reputation will outlive our bodies, and that the person we are in life will be remembered for a long time. Fidelity - Fidelity is complex, and involves remaining true to the gods, kinsmen, a spouse, and community. Discipline - The ability to show your courage, your loyalty, your sense of self-reliance, in the face of personal challenges. Hospitality - Treat others with respect. Guests must be granted your protection while under your roof. Industriousness - Work hard at everything you do. Self-Reliance - The virtue taking care of oneself, while still maintaining relationships with Deity. Perseverance - Continue pushing onward, despite potential obstacles. To persevere is to not only rise up in the face of defeat, but to learn and grow from our mistakes and poor choices. Gallery
