Affiliation: Trainer.
Personality:
Welcome to Berk: home of freezing snow, hail, and beefy manly Vikings; mainly beefy manly Vikings. Meet the underdog: Hiccup, son of the Village Chief and heir to the tribe. In a world where physical prowess and dragon-slaying skills are key, Hiccup has the pleasure of... possessing none of those traits.
In fact, 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. 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.
Despite his lack of any real physical skills, Hiccup's true charm lies in his personality and intellect. 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. Observant, laidback, and fairly open-minded, Hiccup's different from the regular Vikings in more ways than one.
What might come off as a bit of a surprise is 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 with the Tribe 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!
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Intelligent: As previously stated, Hiccup is capable of making a variety of contraptions for a variety of functions. Throwing things, flying things... you name it, he'll make it.
Leadership: So, while Hiccup's not... the avid "I WILL DO EVERYTHING EVER" type, he is good at teamwork and capable of strategy. What a swell guy.
Quick-thinker: He's good at adapting to situations. While he will do his whole freaking out thing internally, he's very good at pretending he's... not freaking out. Still, he can grasp the situation and act accordingly. Most of the time.
Open-minded: Hiccup will... usually see things as they are: usually without bias, and act... fairly rationally. Or, at least, do what he feels is best.
Determined: All right, so Hiccup doesn't give up easily. When he needs to do something, he'll do it. ... Of course, whether or not he wants to do it is another story.
=Sarcastic: Sometimes he makes sarcastic comments in the middle of an otherwise awkward situation. It either makes things more awkward, or lightens things up.
- Impulsive: So, while Hiccup is smart, he is still TEENAGE BOY. Sometimes he does things without thinking things through, especially when he's really determined to impress someone.
- Physically... lacking.: He is referred to as "talking fish-bone". He's not very good at the whole punching sharks in the nose thing... or the throwing buckets of water thing... or even that 'physical labor' thing.
- ... Making things: ... His inventions have a habit of blowing up in his face. So, while making a machine to... say, make the lawn mow itself is a swell idea, it has the chance of ending terribly.

First Person Sample:
Oookay.
I guess I'm dead and this is some strange rendition of the afterlife, or I am dreaming. The second option would be nice. I would rather be not-dead, thank you very much.
Do people around here usually say hi by giving away free things and calling themselves your mom? Not... that I'm complaining about the free things though the mom thing could be rectified, I guess, I'm just not too sure what... to do... with it. Whatever "it" is. I can see that it's a bag. It's the things in the bag that are the source of my confusion. And it's a very deep confusion, let me tell you.
And now I've realized that I'm talking to myself. But that's okay, because this is a dream and I'll wake up... now.
. . . Turns out my timing was off there. I actually meant now.
[an awkward pause.]
Okay. I guess it was the first option after all.
..... So, uh. I suppose I'll just lay here, then.
Third Person Sample:
Hiccup was a boy of... usually good decisions. Well, he could claim a couple of bad decisions, too, but he liked to think that the majority of his decisions were good! However, even he had to admit that this current one… wasn’t made in the brightest of moments. Actually, it wasn’t very good at all.
“Well… Er, it wasn’t really supposed to do that,” he explained for what seemed to be the umpteenth time (well, to himself, anyway). He had done something that was… rather familiar to him, actually. Created a machine that would throw those ‘pokéball’ things for him, because, really, if he could throw the ball faster maybe the Pokémon wouldn’t escape half of the time. It was logical… It was… well, fathomable. It could work.
Of course, leave it to him to… er, turn a rather innocent invention into a weapon of mass destruction.
“A mild calibration error,” Hiccup added hesitantly, half-heartedly tracing circles in the air. “I could probably fix that. Yeah, just a minor adjustment. Maybe. … Probably.”
No, who was he kidding? There was no way this was a good idea. He circled the small contraption-tapped its woody surface, tugged at a couple of ropes, put pressure on the little platform where he was supposed to place the Pokéball… And then he put a hand to his chin.
“I guess I could adjust that,” -this was said quietly, and he scratched idly at his chin in thought-“part. It wasn’t that far off. Just a, uh, couple feet off.”
Stare to the damage he had done: broken window, right up there in the second story of some building. His original target, a brown Pokémon bird… thing… was perched in a tree several feet away from the damage.
“--A lot of feet off.”
It wasn’t his fault that brown… Pidgey… bird thing moved, anyhow. That’s why he was so far off, and that’s why his attempt at aiming a Pokéball with the mechanism ended in complete and utter disaster. He could probably finish this and end up better off; actually capturing things and not missing with his… uh, less than stellar throwing skills.
“Aaand I can break more windows,” Hiccup muttered, kicking his machine lightly. It triggered, and he backed away in slight shock. “Yeah, that’ll go by real well with the neighbours.”
… Well, back to square one. He rolled the Pokéball in his hand, staring up at the Pokémon in the tree. It stared back, cautiously.
“I don’t think you’ll stand still while I throw this at you, will you?”
