Note from Bear's Player: Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read Bear's wiki page. This is going to be an ongoing work in progress, so please bear with me. If anyone has any questions, concerns, suggestions on the development, lore, or design of this page or character itself, please feel free to contact me in game on the Balmung server. Finally, please bear in mind that this is meta information and not to be used ICly unless approved by myself. Any attempts to use this information to metagame without my approval will result in being ignored or, if the need arises, blacklisted. The below rumors are the only exception to this rule. That being said, if you're interested in working out an established history -with- Baergrim, feel free to message me. Without further adieu, enjoy reading!


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.

Rand Profile Right2.png
Baergrim is a large fellow even by Highlander and Ala Mhigan standards, standing at seven fulms and weighing in at about 320 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 are smaller nicks and lacerations. One that extends 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 extends 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 move 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 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. Hell, he might even just grab a rock if he can find one.


H I S T O R Y


Baergrim, as many can likely tell, is from Ala Mhigo, though likely the oldest of the younger generation as he still remembers much of his time spent in their ancestral home. He was born there to a father who was a Fist of Rhalgr, so, when he reached the age of five, he began training in the ways of the Monks. However, several years later is when the witch-hunt began for the Fists of Rhalgr by the Mad King Theodoric. Bear's training was suspended indefinitely, and his father was hunted and killed. Five years later, Ala Mhigo falls to Imperial rule, and Baergrim, at age sixteen, is forced to flee with his mother or they would both be oppressed by the Empire under their rulership. It was a year before they finally arrived in the only place they could somewhat find refuge, Ul'dah. However, the drastic change in climate was likely too much for his mother, and she died sometime later of disease, likely from a plague spreading around the alleyways of Ul'dah. Around the time Little Ala Mhigo was founded, Bear started to show interest in the Blood Sands, inspired by a gladiator known as J'moldva the Hellfire Phoenix. He began training some years later in the Gladiator's Guild and eventually fought on the Blood Sands himself, earning the nickname "Bear". During his time with the Gladiator's Guild, Baergrim witnessed the rise of a famous fighter known as the Bull of Ala Mhigo, Raubahn, and he eventually leaves the guild to join up with the Immortal Flames established when Raubahn rose to fame within the Sydicate. He served for a time in the Flames, participating in the Battle of Carteneau until he left years later to find his own lot in life as a mercenary and sellsword. Today, Bear leads a small supply outfit out in Mist where he makes his home, though still works as a mercenary on the side. Lately, though, he's been considering the Hunt as a new occupation, and the idea of hunting more dangerous game strikes his interest more and more.

Suko'to Nbolo ( ) - Shadow.
Baergrim met Suko'to shortly after the Keeper started to visit the Quicksand regularly. Baergrim perceives them as being friends, as he really enjoys getting the Keeper riled up. They used to fight often, though it was never really anything serious. Baergrim's sure that if Suko'to ever got seriously angry and fight with him, he's not sure if he'd win against the wily Keeper. It was a good thing Suko's on his side.
Kallisto Harvey ( ) - ???.
Baergrim once used to have a certain arrangement with this Seeker woman. She was cute, had an attitude he liked. He gave her a place to stay while she returned the favor in her own way. At one point, he could've considered them lovers. However, for reasons he didn't understand, she was just gone one day. He believes it may have been something to due with his continued friendship with someone who used to be a mutual friend. However, when the friendship ended, Baergrim went off to do other things. His return to the Quicksand to become a regular again might turn her up, but he's, as of yet, not seen her.
Ne'tura Mehd ( ) - Stranger.
Baergrim was once friends with this woman, but, due to circumstances behind the scenes, he began to dislike her and, after a time, felt she was a driving wedge between him and another friend of theirs. Upon his return to the Quicksand, he's seen her play the role of 'fortune teller' to some of the other adventurers, but, aside from that, he has nothing to do with her.
