After reading the player's handout more thoroughly, I opted to submit a barbarian instead.  :D<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/62/90/6d6290a715bdb7d87b0b52549e0b2521.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong>Tavah Sunderfist<br/><strong>Class: </strong>Barbarian 1<br/><strong>Age: </strong>25<br/><strong>Gender: </strong>Male<br/>Character Sheet (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=562164)<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Tavah's knowledge stems from living on a mountain fraught with dangerous monsters has to offer where common sense and insight is much more essential than what one can study from a book.  His mannerisms reflect this sort of rough upbringing.  In general, his interactions with people tend to be rather binary with only a few degrees between lighthearted banter with those he is fond of and overt loathing to those he is not.  The quickest way to fall into the former group is a tankard of alcohol, a vice of his that he often partakes of so long as there is no reason not to.<br/><br/><strong>Background: </strong>From a young age Tavah was raised by his aunt and uncle after his parents had fallen victim to rockslide while hunting The Iron Peaks.  Such a thing was hardly unheard of among the dangerous mountains in which his tribe resided and was simply one of the many perils he and his kinsmen must endure for the sake of survival.  Still, the Sunderfist clan was a prosperous one and Tavah was never short of family members who sought to raise him, but it was his half-elf aunt and uncle who took primary custody of the infant.  It was through this barbaric community that he learned how to provide for himself as well as the group along with the means to protect it.<br/><br/>The Sunderfist clan is unique in that its totem weapon is in the form of over-sized weapons that are designed to fell even the largest of creatures that resided in The Iron Peaks in a single blow.  Training with these weapons required great strength and endurance to use them with any measure of efficiency, but through implacable determination Tavah was able to become skilled with this signature blade.<br/><br/>Then came Tavah's 25th birthday.  A milestone among every adult within his clan in which they set forth and venture into the world beyond their mountainous homeland to see what wonders and glory they can attain for both their clan and their tribe.  This was also the day that his uncle gifted him with his father's sword that had been passed down to the eldest male of his family for countless generations.  Despite its old age and very regular use, the sword remains as pristine as the day it was first forged.  With treasured weapon slung over his back and what few items he had managed to gather over his lifetime, Tavah set out to see the vast world that awaited him and see what sort of name he could make for himself before returning to his village.
