[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Berrod Armstrong is a formerly displaced Ala Mhigan highlander who works for a Free Company that operates out of the Goblet in Thanalan. Until recently he was forced to live as a crude-mannered street thug in the alleys of Ul'Dah. Prior to his association with the Free Company, his day to day life consisted of seeking means of survival in post-Calamity Eorzea. APPEARANCE Berrod is a tall and solidly built Highlander male who reaches a proud height of six fulms and eight ilms. His body is at its physical peak, wrapped in two hundred and eighty-nine ponz of bulky, well-worked muscle. His most distinguishable feature is the shock of red hair on his head. Bright green eyes peer from behind an oft-folded brow, the prelude to a rather roughly handsome face accented with a neatly trimmed red beard about his hard, square jaw. His name tells no lies, both the Highlander's arms are powerfully muscled and rather large, with moderate vascularity and a ruddy dusting of hair along his corded forearms. They end in big calloused hands with scarred knuckles -- a testament to both hard labor and training. He proudly sports a prominent chest (also red-swept with hair), a broad back and a well-developed core that tapers slightly at the waist before expanding into trunk-like thighs and calves. While the intricacies of his form are usually obscured by his clothing, Berrod's big frame is enough to go by. Berrod seemed to be very interested in gaining mass at one point, and it has shown results; every few moons he appeared noticeably larger than he had been prior. He has gone from a starting weight of two hundred and thirty-five ponz in the streets of Ul'Dah, to his current weight of two hundred and eighty nine ponz. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ His hair. It's blood red, and often pulled back into a tail. ■ He's rather large -- on the bigger side for highlanders, though not exactly the largest there is. ■ He's usually quite scowly -- smiles are rare, but genuine. PERSONALITY While fighting to survive in Pearl Lane and the streets of Ul'Dah, Berrod had developed a rather crude, rough, violent and short-tempered personality. The man was as easily pleased as he was angered, however, and found enjoyment in simple things like sharing a meal with friends. When in a good mood, Berrod was often crudely flirtatious and prone to levity, known for his loud and scandalous barks of laughter. As anger took over he was quick to resort to violence, no matter how imposing his target was. The Highlander was no stranger to obscene language and had no qualms about belting out profanity -- regardless of who was around. Later on, once he had extracted himself from the street situation, Berrod came across as a serious no-nonsense fellow, though he had his rare moments of levity and other juvenile pursuits. Where his temper was once short and his reactions overt, he gained a tendency to hide most of his reactions behind a solid wall of solemn regard. The wall was not permanent, and fell in the private presence of close friends and lovers. Recently his personality has balanced somewhat, and he displays many of his old, crude habits. While there is a definite serious side to his dealings, one can easily identify the man's history of thuggery through his demeanor. Berrod is a persistent and hardworking individual, willing to do what it takes to achieve a goal. This manifests in his tendency to work long hours at whatever job he finds as well as train incessantly until he is satisfied with his level of progress. L I K E S ■ Meditation. Berrod enjoys the quiet diligence of meditation; it is where he does most of his thinking, and the source of most of his insight. ■ Training. The man cannot get enough of hard training and sparring; he's always up for a fight whether it's friendly or not. D I S L I K E S ■ Obnoxious Arrogance. Berrod tends to despise people who seem to think that they're better than others without proving so first - he has proven himself to be a bit of a hypocrite in this regard. ■ Sweets. He hates sweets! They disgust him, they make him sick - and thirsty. The taste is awful!. H O B B I E S ■ Prospecting. Berrod has taken a liking to prospecting and appraising bits of ore and raw gems to make guesses at their value. He's usually rather accurate. ■ Groundskeeping. Keeping a yard nice and clean, making sure a building is scrubbed and presentable -- those tasks put the Highlander at peace. S T R E N G T H S ■ Physical Strength. Berrod is quite physically strong -- there's no two ways about it. If there's any task that needs pure brawl, he's a prime candidate to see it done.. ■ Stamina. While not absolutely tireless, Berrod is a wellspring of vigor, able to keep at tasks for long periods of time, or simply endure awful amounts of punishment and still persevere. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Magic. When it comes to matters of magic, Berrod is often lost and incapable, beyond a hazy theoretical knowledge of the basics. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ His loved ones - A predictable enough thing -- though one Berrod keeps close to his chest. Everything he does, he does for the ones he loves, be they living or long passed -- it includes himself, for the Highlander is no stranger to bouts of selfishness. He trains for the one who trained him, he wishes to provide for his family, he strives to keep his friends safe. Most important of all, he labours to live a happy and fulfilling life for himself.

( ♥ ♥ ) - Bonded. Character's Thoughts: " Brightest star I know." Error creating thumbnail: File missing Caleb Agron Caleb was a guest at one of Berrod's old places of employment, who Berrod had set his sights on making a one night conquest. The plan went awry as the two Highlanders ended up growing quite close -- close enough to eventually become lovers. Despite the many tests that their relationship has endured and regardless of their often conflicting personalities, the pair said their vows of Eternal Bonding to seal their union for life. Caden Agron, relationship. ( ♥ ♥) - Bonded. Character's Thoughts: " My moon, quiet an' cool." Error creating thumbnail: File missing Caden Agron The beginning of Berrod's acquaintance with the Caleb's identical twin was turbulent due to a bit of early deception on Caden's part. The twin posed as his brother to seduce Berrod, which almost shattered the twins' relationship. It took several moons for Berrod to trust Caden again, but since the man's move to Thanalan, the two of them have resolved their issues and grown close -- close enough to join their hands in bonding. Sarij Rahzersyn, relationship. ( ♥ ♥) - Bonded. Character's Thoughts: "The deep green sea." Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sarij Rahzersyn Sarij Rahzersyn , who Berrod affectionately refers to as 'Flowers', is a Sea Wolf who was once a guest at the Spectrum Lounge during Berrod's time there. Berrod befriended Sarij during his stay, and has remained his friend ever since -- even through periods when Sarij had been called out to sea for moons at a time. The two had shared a bed on more than one occasion, and have since joined hands in bonding. NON-FAMILY Person Name, relationship. ( ) - Title. Character's Thoughts: " ." Description of their relationship. RUMORS N P C Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Used to oversee the Grindstone. Ran it for a short stint, when it was between hands. Probably doesn't count." ■ "I heard that he spends almost all his time training." ■ "Teaches a class of Pugilists on Darksday mornings, early. Tough, but they learn." ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "He's bonded, I heard. Saw the ring too!" ■ "They say he wrote some scrolls on some powerful old techniques -- I don't believe that though, he doesn't even look like he can read." ■ "He don't drink no more. Prolly cause o'his religion." ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "He's a dead ringer for that old bandit who ran a racket out in Thanalan a few years back -- but that guy's dead, and this guy's a moron." P C Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Eh? Yeah, he's an asshole--but I wouldn't fuck with 'em 'less y'want y'damned head smashed in. Damn good drinkin' partner, though." — Val Nunh. ■ "Some can never turn their sordid lives around; others can. Berrod knows what a second chance is and even if he is... 'rough' around the edges, he is a good man. Always keep that in mind when dealing with him." — Kayllen Stormbringer. ■ "There's no mystery to him! What you see is what you get--and Zindelo finds that to be very refreshing, really." — Zindelo Tarantella. ■ "Not someone you want to fuck with if you value your ability to walk." — Oscare Iono. ■ "Armstrong... he's something else. Hell of a fighter and a sweetheart to boot. I thought I had a chance with him once but alas it wasn't to be. He's a lot more than a gorgeous pile of muscle." — Obsidian Hornet. ■ "His kick broke my ribs, despite my breastplate. Without it they'd probably have been picking up pieces of me all over Central Thanalan" — Natalie McBeef. ■ "I think he and I have an understanding between us. At any rate, I trust his judgment." — Warren Castille. ■ "He's big, thick-headed, stubborn as hell and impulsive to boot; that is, the BEST kind of customer!" — Crooked Tarot. ■ "Oh I've seen this guy around! <Lets out a cute, squealing 'OH!'> I just want to meet him!" — Aya Foxheart. ■ "Well he's a pretty nice guy considering he didn't kill me after I fired a cannon through his roof especially since everyone said he was going to." — S'imba Tia. ■ "I kinda find 'im 'ard to distinguish from all the other bulgin' young sons of Ala Mhigo 'round Ul'dah. He fucked up my leg in a bout, 'nd was a damn good lad 'bout it. I would. I mean fight 'im 'gain, that is" — Kale Aideron. ■ "We fought once, he held back.I could tell. Don't fight him if you value your life. He punches like a Golem. " — [[Aaron Frostheart]. ■ "You know, he's just as amazing as they say!" — Aya Foxheart. ■ "Master Armstrong is a strong, noble man. His training is trying, to be sure. He'll break your body down as much as your will-with his own fists no less. Whether I'll be built back into something resembling myself is yet to be seen." — Zachary Evans. ■ "Good for conversation. He has much on his mind. I'd offer a spar, but he has responsibilities I would not want to keep him from. Lend him an ear." — Teld're Eska'aldren. ■ "Highlander, right? I bet he looks bloody magnificent wi'out his shirt on. But one has heard rumors on how muscles develop on the body leave...other areas lacking.
