It will take a lot to keep him from rushing into battle axe first, in fact he prefers it that way. He's bloodthirsty, courageous, and always gearing for a good fight to pump him up and get his blood flowing. [b][u]°Veteran Slayer of Evil Doers:[/u][/b] Bardrak has been a mercenary for the majority of his life, and as such has pretty much mastered the ability to fight anything he comes across head on. His axe is basically an extension of himself, and he's been in enough battles to know how to properly avoid getting torn to pieces. [b][u]°Heavy Duty Armor:[/u][/b] [hider=His Armor] [img]https://2img.net/h/i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i407/MarcoALopez/LOTR/Dwarves/dwarf_by_shonensan1.jpg[/img][/hider] While in his armor, Bardrak can take quite a bit of damage before he'll start feeling it, seeing as Dwarven armor is some of the best armor out there, he can stand to take some heat. He's also been trained to handle a heavy offensive opponent, so he's used to getting beat on pretty roughly in a fight. Needless to say, his defense is to be admired. [/color] [color=orangered][b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b][/color] [color=Teal][b][u]°One Too Many:[/u][/b] Bardrak likes to drink, a lot. He likes all kinds of alcohol, but ale and whiskey are his favorites. He's been known to be found, when not on a job or busy in some way, tossing them back at the local bar over and over again until he's drunk himself into a stupor. He has a high tolerance after years of drinking, but even a high tolerance has it's limits. Bardrak can become a little less stable when he's drunk too much, not nearly as good in a fight and not nearly as tolerable, as he has a pretty messed up sense of humor. [b][u]°Not a Speed Queen:[/u][/b] Bardrak has heavy armor, and he's not exactly a small guy (despite him being a small guy), so don't expect him to be fast. Don't expect him to move fast, or win any speed contests. But you'll never see him run faster than when he's swinging his axe, heading for a beer, or running after a beautiful woman as he tries to talk her into a "night she'll never forget" [b][u]°Not the Sharpest Axe in the Armory:[/u][/b] Bardrak isn't the smartest guy, sometimes it can take him a minute to lick up on things. That being said, he's also been thunked on the head plenty of times in his life, so he's not the quickest thinker due to a multitude of things. He can be quite slow on the uptake with subtlety, and those who use fancy verbiage can often confuse him too. He also has trouble with big words, and will often butcher them in his attempt to sound smart, which always backfires. [/color] [color=orangered][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] [color=teal]Bardrak is more often than not some level of drunk or tipsy. He's loud, can be rather obnoxious at times, and he has a lewd sense of humor. He'll gladly tell anyone who irritates him that he'll "shown you the painful side of his axe" if you test his patience, which he has little of. But if you've managed to work your way into his small circle of people that he trusts, you'll never find a more loyal friend or a more supportive battering ram. Seriously, the man loves to fight and he'll gladly lend you his axe. Bardrak tries his hardest to be the life of the party, even at his own expense. He enjoys having fun, as long as alcohol is involved. But he also has a firm sense of right and wrong, and will be quick to put someone in their place. [/color] [color=orangered][b][u]Bio/History:[/u][/b][/color] [color=teal]Bardrak was born an only child to Harod and Asha Axler in the late summer, coming out looking just like his pops. Being raised on the surface since a baby, Bardrak was taught early the ways of the axe and fighting. It seemed he'd been born with the same thirst for a good fight, just like his dad. Bardrak has many war stories. He'll tell you about that one time he had to fight three ogres by himself because the rest of his sorry excuse for warriors who had taken the job with him had all ran off at first sight of the giant creatures. He'll recount in detail how he took them all down, going off to drink his weight in ale later that night. He'll tell you the story of how he faced a full grown dragon near the top of the mountains, describing in detail how it's teeth were easily the length of his entire arm. Yes, Bardrak has see a lot and done a lot in his many years as a mercenary. He never stays in one place for long, preferring the life of a traveler. But, keep him entertained with a good fight and a full case of ale, and he'll stick around for a while. Bardrak began getting his gray hair early, probably due to all the crazy things he'd seen over the years in his travels. He's never been too worried about how he looks to others though, so he doesn't think too much on it. He actually will tell you of you ask that he thinks the gray hair looks intimidating, even if it really doesn't. Around his thirty fifth birthday was when it really started coming in.[/color] [color=orangered][b][u]Extra:[/u][/b][/color] [hider=Skull Splitter] [img] https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjTwcgXRtKehX6m6ulrdvgKkTqoPN6GHhVDEaJ50qPHF7dJxZL[/img][/hider] [/hider][/center]
