Barengar Armsbreaker

Barengar Armsbreaker The Mercenary   CHARACTER DESCRIPTION Some might say that Barengar appears exactly as his occupation would have him. The man's sturdy build, even from early childhood, proved useful in the numerous scuffles that he found himself in and his hard set features give him a naturally fierce expression. A born fighter with the lurking fire of defiance. Standing tall at 6'6" Barengar is rarely lost within a crowd, even if he was not habitually clad within his thick-plated armor. His fair blonde hair is almost always kept shaved down with a similar amount left on his face in a light beard. His eyes are a shade of deep blue and oft set with a dispassionate gaze. Though he seems to bear the weight of time there is still ample youth left in Barengar's eyes, as subdued as it might seem. For a man as prone to conflict as he is, he wears very few scars, only one in plain sight upon his right cheek being worthy of note. Opposite of the scar; the woad-colored tattooing that frames the left side of Barengar’s face and hooks just above his eye is what he prizes the most. Inked at a young age in the motif of a grey reef shark to honor his father’s surname. The quality of his equipment would not go unnoticed by any that traveled or fought for a living, though he possessed no skill to create, nor the income to purchase such fine gear. Sturdy plate armor that would break blades and armaments that could cleave a behemoth's hide. Clearly the mercenary had a fairly generous benefactor. "Say what ya mean, do what ya say.

Though his parents were devout followers of Rhalgr during Theodorac's reign over the city, they had managed to survive the Mad King's purge. Barengar, while infrequently fearing for his life because of the protection of his parents, was regularly exposed to the violence of the mad-king's whims. For the young Ala Mhigan it became part and parcel with everyday life, but he maintained pride in his people because of the unwavering faith of his parents. ▼ TEENAGE Though the two were never truly on their own, Barengar took his place as elder brother quite seriously, taking it upon himself to find food, water and a place to sleep when they needed it. He often encouraged his younger, smaller brother to marshal his courage so that they could both join the resistance one day. And join the resistance the Greyshark boys did. The very moment they were of fighting strength, Barengar wasted no time in enlisting themselves into the ranks of like-minded Ala Mhigans. Both attaining the opportunity to avenge his parents and free his people. However, as some followers of Rhalgr might tell you, nothing lasts forever. ▼ CURRENTLY TO-BE-REVEALED ⛓ RUMORS ⛓ ★☆☆ COMMON RUMORS - Use to your heart's content. "Armsbreaker? He's prickly but he does good work. I don't pay sell-swords for good company anyway." ─ Wealthy Ul'dahn Merchant "Don't have time ta talk 'bout spineless cowards. Bugger off." ─ Surly Ala Mhigan Resistance Fighter "I was under the impression he was running with some mercenary company." ─ Interested Client ★★☆ UNCOMMON RUMORS - Use sparingly, or ask before using or mentioning them IRP. He's one of Greyshark's boys, ain't 'e? Never let his lil' brother outta his sight that one." ─ Elderly Woman of Little Ala Mhigho "Heard he got discharged from his company for maimin' up one one of his comrades. Can't imagine why anyone would want to hire someone like that." ─ Idle Brass Blade "Rumor has it he got his name while fightin' in the Resistance, heard he'd break 'em and leave 'em for dead howlin' in pain. Gotta have a deep chip on yer shoulder to treat another man like that." ─ Ul'dahn barkeep ★★★ RARE RUMORS - Ask before using, or mentioning them IRP. "I heard he sold out to the Garleans and split. Can't blame him, I'd want out too, but his own brother?" ─ Self-interested Sell-sword "Adalbert's twistin' in his grave, I'm tellin' ya. Don't ask me how a man ends up as morally bankrupt as Armsbreaker when 'e had a man as great as Greyshark fer a father, jus' don't add up." ─ Veteran Resistance Fighter "I hear him asking around about an Osmund Garret. What could he want with a family as upstanding as the Garrets?" ─ Ala Mhigan Dignatary ◊◊◊ PLAYER CHARACTERS RUMORS - Feel free to add your own! "I met him-- you have something to say? His bearing is honourable, so-- Whatever you've got to say, I don't care. Plenty of us leave the resistance-- it wouldn't happen that way, if they knew their left from right. So-- you ought to close your mouth, and leave me alone, do you hear me?" ─ Flora Valerian, Barengar's "Nephew". "Tell you what, you get past that stoic demeanor of his, usually by way of a few drinks, and that man opens up, throwing jokes left and right. Throws a mean punch too. I respect that." ─ Kiera Hawkeye "He grunts a lot and really likes to hide his past. I think he is dating some woman named Flora. He did say he held her dear. Wink wink, nudge nudge." ─ Kaguya Nightson. "A man of few words, but what words spring forth from his lips, are often a joy to be heard; that is if you count out his savage growls and grunts - after all he yet remains to be an Ala Mhigan hyur. But he may pride himself to be one of the few hyur without Ishgardian heritage who isn't overly irksome and obnoxious to be around." ─ Virella Douront, Ishgardian Astrologian. [Rare Rumor] "He is like the ocean. Simple and deep, open to hearing and vast going with the ebb and flow to the pull of life. Surface shines with stars and under, breaking that surface tension, is unnumbered colors and wonders of thoughts, wisdom, life. Barengar is so vibrant. Ah, forgive me, I am quite biased. I simply find him lovely and wonderful." ─ Kindheart "A storm wrapped in stone wrapped in skin. I can tell from only meetin' him once. Well, I can guess, anyroad -- but I'd bet that I'm right." ─ Berrod Armstrong, Fist of Rhalgr "Now There! is a Highlander man. Gruff, quiet, and looks about ready to battle any time of the day" ─ Aya Foxheart "He is completely trustworthy, never lies. Strong worker, nothing slows him down. He talks a lot; it is not obvious, but he does. The sky reflection upon Llymlaen." ─ Jancis Milburga "Be you a healer? I highly suggest watching him; he tends to ignore wounds and dismiss them, but he will most likely not turn you down should you insist to look at them. And watch for his shoulder he does not have it treated often. Something of his mindset as if someone else deserves mending more." ─ Jancis Milburga "He can fly. He is really good at it, too. Even in his chainmail. It makes sense that he can, though. Perfect sense. Did you want to ask him something? I can let him know right now" ─ Jancis Milburga "He is good at cutting hair. He has been rarely seen this past Turn. I think he is either avoiding or looking for something. I miss him a lot." ─ Jancis Milburga "...That you think him a brute shows you know him not. He is a wonderful man, and I'd trust no other with my life." ─ Eliane Dufresne, Lady of House Dufresne ⛯ ─ LOCATIONS & AFFILIATIONS 🗺 ─ LOCATIONS ─ 🗺 ■ Limsa Lominsa (high probability) ■ The Lavender Beds (medium probability) ■ Ul'dah (low probability) ■[🔒] ???

However, recent events in Barengar's life have caused him to reach out to the long estranged friends. As talented machinist and capable arcanist with a mind for math, Aislinn proves to be staunch and effective ally in all manner of situations. Barengar knows little of what befell Aislinn in the turns since her seperation but he does know that he is glad to have her at his back.

When the healer was summoned by Yishunsen Mol in order to see to the highlander's mending few could have predicted the realtionship that would form. Many of their surface ideals often clash, causing quiet disagreement between the two. However, time in each other's company had built an understanding on a more profound level and a chance at romance. Due to failures on the part of Barengar, and his urging for her to pursue her dreams, the pair's romantic involvement ended. The mercenary's devotion to the conjurer's well being and their strong connection not wavered. Whenever Jancis calls for the warrior's aid she has it without hesitation. Barengar often stops in upon the Babbling Brook Bour to check in on Jancis whenever he is passing through the Black Shroud.
