For your race,use a Nord.They have some good passives.
Use either a NB or DK class with a two handed sword,or Battle axe. With a dual wield set of single handed axes.
Since you want to be a viking,you should get the Nord style motif for crafting armor and weapons. This motif isnt expensive,so find a guild store.There are many,and you dont need to join them.They are dotted around like Merchants.
** If you use the Nord Race,you dont need to buy the motif,as it comes with the race.
