P E R S O N A L I T Y

Genuine. Fun-loving. Boisterous. Determined. Baergrim is a no bullshit, no shit taken from anyone, no shits given kind of man. He'll tell you how it is whether it hurts or not, blunt to a fault. If he thinks you messed up, he'll call you out on it, but, at the same time he's still capable of some form of humility, but not often. He firmly believes the truth can hurt, but that's why you have friends and allies to back you up and support you even when you're down. When it comes to comradery, Baergrim's about as real as it gets. He's fiercely loyal to those he calls friends, and would likely die for them, although sometimes it's hard for some to stay friends with him for very long, hence why he has very few -true- friends.

Baergrim firmly believes in the more the merrier. He likes to work hard, and play harder - one of his favorite past-times including drinking. Baer's definitely a rum kind of guy, but there's one kind of alcohol he favors over even rum - the free kind! He feels no shame in getting drunk with the locals, even going so far as to participate in drinking games and competitions. Being a pretty big guy, he could put the stuff away! Bear prefers a party setting over a more intimate setting any day of the week, and will often be found in bars attempting to surround himself with as many people as possible.

As fun-loving as he is, Baergrim's also a very boisterous and proud Ala Mhigan, perhaps going so far as to being obnoxious. If you ask him to tell stories, he'll proudly recant his many adventures, and he's had a lot of them, being in his late 30's. He won't tell a story that isn't true, even if it might be just a little embellished for dramatic effect. In the social setting, he's often found to be the loudest in the room if he can be. He talks loud, jokes loud, and laughs loud - the typical big oaf sort. He's definitely not the sort of man who favors, nor is adept at, subtlety.

All appearances aside, however, he's actually a rather determined man, and, when you set him to a task, he'll stop at nothing to complete it, even if it kills him. This leads some to believe him to be rather stubborn and hard-headed, though he really views it as having integrity. You ask him to do something, he's damn well gonna do it! This makes him the perfect mercenary.

L I K E S ■ Drinking. He's a riot when drunk. ■ Women. Miqo'te and Au Ra in particular. ■ Fighting. He's a fierce one.

D I S L I K E S ■ Weakness. Certain weak people grind his nerves. ■ Non-Alcoholic Drinks. Might as well drink piss. ■ Girlish Men. Yeeaaaaaah...

M O T I V A T I O N ■ Integrity. Holds to what he says, no matter what. ■ Ala Mhigo. Wants to one day return home. ■ Booze. Sometimes just does stupid shit because he's drunk.

S T R E N G T H ■ Brute Strength. He's a big guy. He's stronk. ■ Determined. He'll get shit done. ■ Fun-loving. Generally good-natured.

W E A K N E S S ■ Alcoholic. Hangovers? ■ Women. Gotten in trouble more than once over women. ■ Stubborn. Might get himself killed one day.

A P P E A R A N C E

Baergrim is a large fellow even by Highlander and Ala Mhigan standards, standing at nearly seven fulms and weighing in at about 280 ponze. He probably would've made a powerful Fist of Rhalgr had he been allowed to stick with the discipline, having the perfectly balanced body for it. His is a frame of perfectly sculpted muscle and sinew, the canvas over which is covered in various scars. Three of these scars seem to stand out over the rest, which were smaller nicks and lacerations. One that extended around the deltoid of his right shoulder, appearing to have come from a wound that would've rend him in two if it went all the way through. The second, a large, nasty-looking cross-shaped scar in the left side of his midsection, likely from being run through with some sort of large piercing weapon. And, finally, a scar that extended down over his right eye, causing discoloration in the iris to an almost milky white color. Despite the wound, the eye still at least appears to be functional, able to make with the other eye, but Baergrim likely wouldn't say whether he could see from it or not. His raven black hair is usually cropped short save for the mane running along the very top of his scalp, usually pulled back in a topknot.

As a man who enjoys combat, Bear will often be seen in a variety of heavy or protective armor, though, sometimes he can still be seen wearing something lighter in casual settings. It all depends on what he expects to be doing that day. On his back, he'll typically carry either some kind of spear, axe, or greatsword, seeming to be proficient with all three weapons, though perhaps more so with the spear as it coincides with his usual activity of boar hunting. You'll rarely see him in anything flashy or flamboyant, or anything formal for that matter. If he attends a ball or ceremony of any sort, he'll usually wear armor to match the occasion.

C O M B A T & W E A P O N R Y

Baergrim appears to be proficient with most martial weapons including the greataxe, spear, greatsword, and sword/shield combination. The style he'll use will be based upon what he was expected to be doing, or whatever the hell he feels like.

S P E A R Bear's primary weapon of choice. Having learned most of his abilities from hunting boar, Baergrim still attended formal training in fighting with the Lancers' Guild. Even though this is his primary weapon, he's still proficient with others depending on the situation and his mood.

A X E Baergrim's next favorite weapon. Sometimes Bear just feels like grabbing the biggest hunk of steel he can find and just unleashing hell with it, destroying everything in his path. It might be a slow weapon, but once Bear gets going with it, it's difficult (sometimes impossible) to stop him.

G R E A T S W O R D This one's a new weapon for Bear to start using, but it's little less devastating than his axe. Sometimes, he'll prefer to go into battle with this one just because of its balance between destructive power and reach.

B E R S E R K E R Particularly when using an axe, Baergrim can lose himself in the heat of battle. When he does, his mind and body register no pain, showing no hint of slowing his advance until he's either dead or incapacitated or otherwise thrown to the ground and unable to get back up.

B O D Y Due in part to his brief training as a Fist, Baergrim can and sometimes use his whole body as a weapon being that it's significantly larger than his opponent's in most cases. If he loses his weapon, he'll resort to grappling and wrestling.
