I, am Hadding and I was given this name because is is a common name among my people. I am known as the Barbarian because I am the last survivor of a wild and warsome like Eastern barbarian tribe. My upbringing makes me very suspicious of magic and religion that is not shamanic.
I was born an Easterner because my parents were Esterners.
It is common for people from my region to go adventuring, and work as mercenaries in more civilized lands. Some return with riches and tall stories. Listening to those inspired you to adventure.
I stand 6'4'' tall with a muscular body. I have brown hair with big, green,brown,black eyes. My tan skin and a rough appearance in general makes me unique. I have a wild long hair and beard. Some tribal tatoos are painted on my body. I usually wear forestman's clothes. Dispite my tough appearence I have a rough kind of charisma that inspire confidence in warriors.
Altough rough, I am intelligent in things connected to the wild, fighting, war strategy, etc.
I see myself as a warrior and forester. My wild, hard upbringing also gave me some strong roguish skills, like sneaking and silent assassination. I am first of all an adventurer I want to gain fame and money to blow drinking and and women. My two stronger motivations are fame and money, which I can quickly blow away, no matter how much. I can be motivated to help someone weaker like women, children, threatened small folk, etc.
I do any kind of adventuring and mercenary work and am quite ruthless and without scrupples compared to some more civilized values. If you are strong enough to take it, it's yours. I have no qualms in stealing rich folk or killing an enemy from behind if the opportunity arises. Yet, I have my particular barbarian code of honor. I am loyal, don't kill children and don't usually betray contracts or brother's in arms, unless something arises steps om my strict barbaric code of honor. Betrayal is met with mad,terrible vengeance, no mather how long it takes. A future ambition is to gather a warband.
I intend to do much, much adventuring, stealing, killing and warring in order to become the next Ruler of Kings. Thus, I now start this path towards adventure.
