Currently, Sigurdr is in the lead, I think, and the triplets will likely be hanging out together, so Bjorney would definitely be in that version. The other main contender is one of the twins. Eyvor is possible, but may have too much in common with Halla...we want something a tad different, I think.
Sigurdr is definitely at the bottom for me, but I guess I can see why people would like him. My thoughts on each kid;
Asgeirr: The most Vikingr of the options, most likely. He'd be a great change of pace if we wanted to make a less social butterfly more traditional character. He's big and brash and openly violent in ways that have been sometimes-negative and already is learning Hugareida, which is neat (unlocked by jumping into a forge). Probably the most different from Halla from what we've seen so far. The personality traits he was assigned were Religious and Cheerful, so he'll be partying and praising the Gods.
Sigurdr: Male Halla(?), a precociously smart and friendly kid despite his stoicism. Definitely the most friendly of the kids so far though, with the most friends. We gave him our work knife and he named it and it is his friend. Don't have many other memories of his stuff so far. Personality traits thus assigned are Heroic and Passionate, so... pretty similar to Halla, I feel. Those two words are probably what I'd use for her. Biggest difference from Halla is that he wants to travel and see the world, while Halla has lived most of her life in one place.
Eyvor: Female Abjorn, likes to fight as much as Asgeirr does (or more), but she's not quite as bad at holding her temper, so she's better at not hurting people. Can/does wrestle the other boys into submission though. We let her hold a cool sword for like 5 minutes and she said 'mine now' (creative interpretation of us finding out she has a huge talent for swords). Found and adopted a bear cub whose mom was dead. Personality traits of: Reserved, and Serious. So not quite as fun loving a person as the other two, or as expressive, but with some interesting possibilities. She's literally Abjorn-Quest as a woman.
Hallbjorn: Doesn't actually have much/any personality on screen yet, since baby/toddler. But trait wise he has every single basic '+1 to X and easier to raise' trait, and is a born Leader and Poet... but is also a Beardless Hemophobe. Seems like sort of a challenge run in terms of 'fitting what our culture wants', but with the bonuses maybe overwhelming those. If any of the kids are going to pursue the path of a Skald, it might be Hallbjorn. Personality traits assigned: Considerate animal lover. So super-pets plan might work with him! I'd be interested in him because I think playing a Skald would be a cool twist.
The twins: (Steinulfr and Asveig ) A boy and a girl who both are disconcerting weird babies with weird magic eyes from when we ate the heart of a Fenriskin. No real onscreen personality yet, but they're weird magical kids with shadowy shrouds and weird eyes and are explicitly Oddities. Either one of them seems like they'd be interesting, but no real info to go off of. They are the only two Born With Hammer In Hand, so if we wanna keep crafting this is a big bonus. I'm guessing these two are gonna end up being creepy twins with creepy twin powers, two halves of one soul etc, so picking either one will probably guarantee the other being around and present.
After writing that out, I think my current rankings would go Hallbjorn > Eyvor > A twin > Asgeir > Sigurdr
Sigurdr might just be too protagonist coded for me.
