GENERAL INFORMATION

Brooker Bandersnatch (a derivative of Bucking Bandersnatch) is a Hellsguard Roegadyn who hails from a very small village just north of the Peaks of Gyr Abania. He relocated to Little Ala Mhigo after the Calamity, and then to the Goblet a few years after -- as a resident healer in the Astral Agency Free Company. Recently he has traveled across the sea to settle down in Shirogane of the Far East -- though aetheryte travel keeps him able to visit his now-liberated homeland.

APPEARANCE

Brooker is a fairly tall and bulkily built Hellsguard Roegadyn male who stands at seven fulms, four ilms. While his height does not quite measure up to the tallest of his kin, he still presents a broad and imposing stature. Thick, solid muscles compose his brown-skinned frame, maintained through frequent exercise with heavy weighted implements. Thick golden hair crowns his head, kept very neatly as a matter of personal pride. The same gold sweeps down most of his body; along his torso, his forearms, and his legs. A curious blood-red highlight runs through the hair on his head. It appears to be dye, but is in fact quite natural.


The Hellsguard is not the most handsome of men -- while his features are strong and proud, he possesses golden-yellow eyes, a somewhat snoutlike nose (that bears the identifying black mark typical of Hellsguard Roegadyn) and full lips that give him a bit of a bestial appearance. His prominent canines are rather large and sharp, and it remains a mystery to others as to whether he had them filed or magically altered. Scars of battles long fought add to the mix. One glance at him is all it takes to understand how he got his name.

His clothing is comprised mostly of tribal robes and loincloths, often adorned with crystal shards, feathers, teeth and bone. Brooker favours the colours brown, blue and turqouise green -- any combination of the three sees him pleased. He carries a cane that is made of petrified wood, bone and teeth, decorated with cloth in the colours of his choice -- a cane that was gifted to him by a dear friend.
Aspects That Stand Out:
His hair. It's a golden blond, streaked with blood red.
He's rather wild looking. His features are somewhat bestial in appearance, even more so than a Hellsguard's tend to be.
His canines are rather large and sharp. He will never divulge whether this is a result of filing, some sort of magic, or if he was simply born with them.

PERSONALITY

At face value, Brooker appears as an overly bestial, crude and lazy fellow who lumbers about with very little regard for others. To get to know him however, is to simply discover that he is simply a man on his own beat who prefers to stay out of others' way. He is often mistaken for being unintelligent as well, given his tendency to withhold speech until spoken to. In truth, he is a shrewd and clever fellow given to the observation of others.


Manners have only come recently to him at the insistence and education of his friends -- his lack of them was simply attributed to the specific manner of tribal life followed by the tough front he was forced to present while a resident of Little Ala Mhigo. While he still doesn't often include 'please' and 'thank you' in his speech, he tries to express the sentiments through body language and expression instead.


Brooker sleeps for long hours. At one point the man would remain in slumber for sixteen bells out of the day, but developments in his lifestyle has cut it down to lengthly nights of ten bells -- with perhaps a bell or two of naps during the day. He intends to cut down on that further still, given the number of things he wishes to achieve.


Though slow to anger, Brooker does not at all enjoy when things do not go his way, and is hard-pressed to compromise in certain situations. Reasoning and bargaining with him often involves presenting a matter that is appealing to him, or coaxing him into thinking that an idea was his in the first place.

L I K E S

Food!. Brooker loves to eat. Not much more to be said there.
Intimacy. Be it cuddling affectionately or other more carnal pursuits, the Hellsguard has a healthy appetite fro intimacy.


D I S L I K E S

Irreverance toward nature. Brooker strongly dislikes those who show no regard for nature.
Greens. He hates greens! He usually has to be bribed or deceived into eating them.

H O B B I E S

Wrestling. Being a conjurer does not prevent him from enjoying physical sport, of which wrestling is his favourite.
Crafting. While far from a master artisian, Brooker enjoys crafting little keepsakes from items he picks up on his travels. He often gifts them to friends and family.

S T R E N G T H S

Observation. Brooker has a keen eye. His habit of remaining silent and watching has led to him developing astute powers of observation. From there, he tends to be an excellent source of counsel..
Stamina. While not absolutely tireless, Brooker 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

Physical Combat. Brooker is a very physically strong man, but that strength is mostly untrained. While he excels at wrestling, it is not enough for him to hold his own against a seasoned physical combatant. Recent developments have seen the Hellguard make an effort to make up for this.


M O T I V A T I O N S

His loved ones - Most of what Brooker does, he does for his loved ones. Whether it is his training in curative arts, his gil-making ventures, or simply shows of affection in the privacy of his home. Seeing his friends and family happy motivates and fulfills him.
His tribe's legacy - Brooker is unsure if there are any other members of his tribe left, and so he seeks to carry on their legacy by inserting some of their culture into his everyday life. He knows he cannot shoulder the burden of restoring and recreating the tribe, and so he simply wishes to make sure that some part of what they are is carried forward.

◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
"He's bonded, I heard. Saw the ring too!"

◢ 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."

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. I wonder..." — Steel Wolf.
"There's a lot more to the man than he wants ya ta know, just takes some work to get it outta him." — Caleb Agron.
"Thaliak has blessed Sir Armstrong, he teaches and he leads well. All of his ilk; sees the worth of people well I think. Some are graced with him showing them their true inner strength. Or graced with seeing his." — Jancis Milburga.
"There was a time where Berry was far more callous, but that was Turns ago. I urge you strongly to not squander the chance he gives should your rivers cross. He is full of vitality and longevity few possess. Every bone he might break is an investment as are his words. Will find your life more fulfilling even only being his acquaintance." — Jancis Milburga.
Rare Rumor"Was honored to be there with Berry and Lord Caleb. That was a wonderful day, Menphina was so close, and I never saw the man blush before. He hugged Sir Evans and the care and raw emotion right before me was engulfing. Every time he assists me with healing the wounded, I feel that same care. That man's heart must be twice as big as any common man's." — Jancis Milburga.
"We're two men, he 'n' I, lookin' t'break new trail. Only gods-damned question is whether the ghosts what haunt our pasts will let us." — Osric Melkire.
"S'one'f th'strongest guys I know. I owe a lot t'the man. 'e was teachin' me things before I even knew 'e could be teachin' me things. F'there's anyone in this world y'can ever count on, it'd be ol' Berrod." — Val Nunh.
"Armstrong's a handsome bastard. He's far too young to remember the homeland, of course, but its spirit is alive and well in his lust for battle. I'd often see him scrapping in the Lane, and it was amusing tae see the nervous looks of the nearby Blades. I expect he did naught to better their perception of us." — Brynhilde Wulf.
"Berrod Armstrong? Hmm... I'm not sure what to make of him, he can fluctuate between wise and gruff quite quickly, but for some reason... I just know he's a good person at heart, so that's all that really matters." — C'eleni Meztli.
"He looks like he is ready to punch anything at any time! That's why I always stay at least five arms length away when I see him, I don't need to find out how far he can lunge!" — T'caska Khevo.
"I advised Bryn to burn that pamama hammock he called a bathing suit at the Mr. Eorzea contest for sanitary purposes. Nice guy, though." — Daghbheri Himalspyr.
"Well, he was obviously in pain, so I wanted to help him, but he was shirtless too, so it was very odd for me. Does no one wear shirts around here? — Eorla Brynn.
"Saw dis man sparrin' wit' dis other lad. From teh look o' it, he means serious business. Kinda 'mind meh o' meh sista. Migh' learn a thing or too from 'im though" — Chiyo Hoshi.
"He's the one that gave me the Rhalgr scrolls... Good reading material, certainly worth trying to put into practice, though I don't think I've the capability. Probably my favorite of the Twelve so far but I'm just not cut out for this meditation stuff... Oh, I guess I wish he'd cover up a bit more." — Jana Ridah.
"He attended a meeting at The Cross Mansion.. I could not stop staring at his abs. It was hard to keep focused.. I'm not usually one for Hyur's.. but.. I would rub those abs for days." — War Bear.
"Old Order. Same direction." — Flamesong Hammersmith.
"Mistah Berrod? Oh, 'e's a polite man, but I'm also not 'fraid ta admit 'e intimidates tha hells outta me, eitha." — Nahare Mergrey.
"I am most pleased I did brave the crowd to encounter Berrod. Training as a monk under his tutelage has proven to be one of the greatest decisions in my life. I do look forward to learning more. He hath not only become a mentor but also a very good friend." — Valentinoix Thibault.
"Rumor has it he tries to fight his students to the death to get them to improve. Good for 'em, I say. Berrod's a good man, though, and I can't wait for our next match. See if his ground game's improved." — Worren Tigre.
"Add your own rumor here!" — Rumormonger.
