Why are they there? How long have they been there? What is their occupation and living situation? After adopting his daughter Rene, Bacchus thought it was best that she had a stable living enviroment, not disrupted by constant travel, seeing it as the place which would provide the best opportunity in life for the growing girl, He is a recent arrival in the city and as such is rather ignorant of current internal poltics of the city, and has no particular interest in getting involved, currently he is looking to put his skills to work, looking for a brewery which would value his skills. Describe your character’s upbringing. Where were they born, to whom? How many siblings do they have? What about their extended family/noble family? No matter where you are, there's always someone who want's a drink, and almost every dwarf drinks like a fish. Bacchus' Clan were not strangers to wealth and as such, the dwarf grew up with access to a rather outrageous amount of money, which propped up his up bringing a fair bit. The oldest and most prodigial of numerous siblings and cousins, life was good and supportive for him, which really makes the consequences of his actions alot more of a burden for him. Describe any secondary ambitions your character may have. Short term ambitions, or ambitions that may not be related to your character’s main goal in life. The Dwarf as a secondary ambition, would quite like to set up his own Brewery/Monastery type thing in Regalia, ideally a cadet branch of his clan in the capital, as well as his adopted daughter do well and prop her up as she sets out into her own life.

The Bird is capable of minor aesthetics for the Dwarf, such as sitting in their hand when feeding or playing. The Bird must always remain within the same street of its owner. Through the usage of their bird, the Dwarf gains +5 Perception through their bird communicating things to them. (The bird's communication is purely aesthetic, the character cannot perceive things only the bird can see).

Visual Information Eye Color: Grey Hair Color: Dirty Blonde Hair Style: Short, but with a braid at the back. Skin Color: Peachy Clothing: Sleeveless jerkin over long sleeved white shirt, breeches, boots. Height: 4’6 Spoiler: Visual Info Expanded Describe the Character’s facial features, like the shapes of their eyes, mouth, ears, the size of their forehead, what kind of expression they usually carry, any freckles, scars etc, hair color, hair style and more. This description is purely for the head (and by extension neck) alone. Bacchus's face and head is rather typical of dwarves, with a distinctive and defined brow and jaw line, though one would be hard pressed to notice under the thick mess of blonde hair. A large red nose and big ears flat against the side of his head, years of excessive drinking has given the dwarf rosie cheeks and much of his skin shows signs of aging and weathering from long periods of travelling the open road. One thing to note about Bacchus is his hair and beard is alot less extravogant than those of his kin, with a modest amount of jewelry woven in and cut much shorter being closer to what Ailor men would call a thick beard. His deepset and round eyes often have a friendly welcoming gaze, and big grins show his well kept, although slightly stained teeth. Describe the Character’s body. Go into detail about height, body shape, the color of their skin, the size of their bones and muscles, their amount of fat, any physical disabilities they may have, their amount of body hair if applicable and more. This description is purely for the body. Bacchus is an absolute unit of a dwarf. Being described as more muscle than man wouldn't entirely be untrue and his short stature makes his body more comparable to a square, The result of an intensive training regimen, needed to maintain the skill and physique to effectively use his clan's martial art and to maintain this physique also requires a high intake of Calories on an almost daily basis meaning the second most abundant thing of his body is carefully built amounts of body fat. His healthy and well fed life style means he is a walking power house of testosterone, resulting in a good amount of healthy body hair, however much of it which grows on his torso and back is shaved as to not obstruct his tattoos. All along his shoulder and top of his chest running down to the back of his hands is a massive tattoo which is traditional of his culture and his clan. Describe the Character’s fashion appearance and accessories. Talk about what kind of clothes they usually wear, preferred colors, what jewelry they have, weapons they carry on them or any item of note that they may always have on them. Bacchus' sense of style is probably best described as simple, he doesn't particularly care to follow what's considered to be the new fashion or style. His sense of style goes to about the best extent of "Is it clean and will I look like a nonce if I wear it." That's not to say he has a total disregard for style and generally has more of an inclination to respect those more smartly dressed and those who dress for practicality. Describe the character’s voice. How do they speak? What is their typical tone and speed? Do they have an accent or a tendency to stutter? Any quirks about their voice listed here. Maybe also add a list of the languages they can speak. Bacchus' voice is deep and speaks with the typical accent with which most dwarves carry (Scottish) He has picked up a tendency to speak calmly and slowly as to allow people better to understand him over his accent, he'll often take a moment before responding to someone as he thinks about how's the best way to articulate his words. Personality and Abilities How would your character respond to experiencing Fear? Bacchus is stubborn and will to the best of his ability to hide his fear from those he trusts and calls companions, When his friends are under threat, Bacchus will move to act regardless of consequence. If asked by a companion Bacchus will suggest the safest course of action and prefers to avoid dangerous situations. This does not mean however, that he’ll fold when threatened, if he’s actively threatened Bacchus will look to defend himself rather than submit to threats. If Bacchus is alone and see’s possible danger, he will often walk the other way. How would your character respond to experiencing Stress? Bacchus stubbornly refuses to allow stress to get to him, Bacchus has displayed clear and calm thinking under stressful situations, often citing that those who fall into panic make more mistakes and ultimately make their situations worse. However, once the initial issue is overcome, Bacchus will bury himself in meditation, alcohol and his craft as a form of stress relief. How would your character express feeling Happy? When happy, it only takes a mere glance towards the dwarf to know his feelings. Wide toothy grins and roarous laughter and singing the melodies of his stronghold (albeit terribly.) Bacchus will break bread and drink with all who share in his Merriment, origin regardless. How does your character view Law and Authorities? Bacchus respects the noble men and women who enforce the laws of the land and if so asked will willingly assist those people. However, Bacchus is quick to object and oppose those who use their positions to bully and abuse the people these individuals are sworn to protect and Bacchus will often place himself between those who abuse their power and the victims of such people, without regard to the risk it puts on him. How does your character feel about Races other than their own? Previously, Bacchus had shared a large distrust of other races, like much of his Kin. However, following his own personal experiences. Bacchus has learned to find friends and companions where he can, all are equal in his eyes and as such believes all should earn their place. Bacchus strongly believes the crimes of the parent should not be considered also the crimes of their children. How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths? Religion is very important to Bacchus. Following the sins of his past, Bacchus’ faith in Duindin increased exponentially, he follows his religion closely and performs all the necessary ceremonies. Even if he has to do them alone. Bacchus one day hopes that his Ancestors and Duindin will forgive him for his crimes and that he can someday return to the clan and be welcomed once more. How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world? Bacchus is incredibly indifferent to it. Magic can sometimes be a great boon to society, however there are the odd few who will use magic with malicious intentions in mind, but that can be said for many things in life. As long as the crazy bastards are locked up before any harm can be done, use what you’ve got! How does your character feel towards their family? Bacchus has nothing but utter respect and admiration towards his clan and bitterly regrets the shame he brought upon their name. He also regrets running away instead of facing his punishment with pride. Almost everything he does is influenced by them. Outside of the stoney halls of his kin, those he calls family he’ll go to great length to defend and protect. What is your character's biggest insecurity? Bacchus is absolutely wracked with guilt for the crime he committed and the regrets he has eat at him greatly. He hides this behind heavy drinks, smiles, and laughs and is incredibly reluctant to show his feelings about his crimes and so carries on with bitter stoicism, his burdens are his to carry alone and no one else should be expected to bear the load. What is your character the most proud of about themselves? Bacchus believes he has nothing to really be proud of when it comes to himself. Many of his good deeds are overshadowed by his regret. Though the closest thing to pride that he has for himself is his adopted Daughter Rene. Seeing the little girl grow into a strong confident woman is more than Bacchus could of ever asked for. What motivates your character to move forward and better their life? Bacchus is driven by many things, but primarily he is determined to right the wrongs he’s committed and does so with the utmost vigour. He hopes that one day an opportunity will arise where he can prove himself again to his people and allow his past actions to be forgiven, though he knows well that dwarves are a stubborn lot and secretly believes he will die not knowing those once familiar mountain halls again. What is your character's biggest fear? That he will die never having returned to his home and seen his kin once again. That he will pass from this world and the history of his clan will know him as the one who betrayed his kin. Spoiler: Personality & Abilities Expanded Weaknesses: If it's intoxicating. Bacchus wants to drink it, The dwarf absolutely adores ale in all it's forms often wanting to try the range, comparing and savouring the taste and smell of each drink, this can often lead to excessive drinking, well and truly up to the point of blacking out. Bacchus cannot stand injustice and will absolutely put himself into a dangerous situation if it means protecting someone who's being unjustly victimized and will even go as far as getting into brawls will people for the sake of those who doesn't know, but can't defend themselves Likes: Ale & other intoxicating beverages. Clan justice meaty dishes parties Meditation Dislikes: Remorsless individuals exploitation prejudice overly serious people Spoiler: Relationships Family.Silenus Beerfist (NPC): His Father & King of the Clan, during his younger years starting out as a brewer, Silenus was his mentor growing up and much of what Bacchus knows he acredits to him. When he left the hold he left most of his his jewels and belongings behind, except for a few beads which he wears in his beard, which had previously been his. Memory of him is painful and Bacchus can barely think about him without bitter regret and repeatedly muttering "sorry". Maege Beerfist (NPC): His mother, Bacchus has an absolute unconditional love for his mother and greatly misses her. She was the last member of his clan he had contact with telling him that of his crimes that clan can forgive they do and that she wishes for him to amend his wrong doings and someday return to the clan. Her words are what drives Bacchus to continue forward and work towards gaining his redemption. Rene Von Cartis (@FlossyBerry ): Since finding her on the side of the road that one fateful day, Bacchus has grown to love the girl, unconditionally as if she were kin. seeing the girl grow up has become some of the happiest memories the dwarf could hold since leaving his home. However, Bacchus worries that her Isldari ancestry may cause divison between him and the rest of his kin. Friends.Frala Copperkeg (NPC): Bacchus' childhood friend and later love interest Bacchus once had dreams of marriage with her, however those have long since been discarded, Although that hasn't dampened the love he had for the woman. She helped him flee the hold after the incident that occured, but Bacchus cannot help but feel haunted that he let someone who mean't so much to him share a burden which wasn't hers to bare. Ulfgar Ironfist (@MrFluff1): The first of his kind he had met since arriving in Regalia, Bacchus has quickly developed a respect for the Ironfist and his many accomplishments. Bacchus was saddened to hear of his passing and mourns his fellow Mithorrin, feeling as though one of his connections home has now been severed. Sabarille Caeosei (@BiBiBirdie): Met her during his time in the good company, she has been a point of great conflict for the dwarf as he tries to understand what exactly it is he feels about her as well as how that interferes with his practising beliefs, even so he considers her an incredibly close friend. Valkari Lothgard (@Valorist): Another companion he'd met in the good company, Bacchus respects the Velheims conviction. On the rare occasion when Bacchus might be conflicted on an issue, he'll often seek out Valkari for advice. she's also fun to drink with. Natallin Greens (@Tayloesr1): A close friend, who's company is greatly appreciated. Bacchus considered Natallin a good friend, sometimes finding him to act before he thinks, he makes the dwarf genuinely laugh and following the Siege of the stronghold, managed to bring the Mithorrin to tears at his passing, though also managed to scare the shit out of him when he came right back. Chengis (@Martyr_321): His favourite household plant, having seen action with him on a few occasion, he is no stranger to having been thrown at people by him. Life Story Born In the Dwarven hold of Grebor to Silenus Beerfist, King of a clan famed for it’s fine crafted Ales. Bacchus from a young age took to the clans trade with surprising aptitude and was generally considered to have a natural talent and was often praised for his ability. Bacchus’ clan held an tradition in which they would often practice an aggressive unarmed martial art which evolved around grappling and throwing an opponent to the ground. Bacchus took great joy in the sport and would often did this as a recreational pass time. (this is based on a variant of Glima called lausatök.) As the Young dwarf grew older, much of the praise he’d received began to rub off on him and soon he began to develop a smug arrogance and the Mithorrin would often go off with friends and get drunk at the taverns within the city, growing careless and often found himself getting into drunken brawls where’d often beat his opponents senseless and as a result found himself in trouble, quite often. Ultimately his drinking reached a high point one night and Another Dwarf Frala Copperkeg, a maid at the tavern and also a close companion of Bacchus called the guard, believing the young Beerfist to have drank too much and thus unable to see his way home safely, However the guard startled the drunk dwarf, who struck the unexpecting guard in the face, believing him to be attacking him. Bacchus struck the guard with a tankard catching the guard in the head, sending the guard to the floor. After a while the guard didn’t move and it soon became apparently the strike had killed the guard. The incident caused Bacchus to sober up rather quickly as he began to panic, though was calmed down by Frala. Who helped to sneak the shaken dwarf back to his clan hold. Bacchus knew he couldn’t stay, but couldn’t leave in good conscience without at least returning home. While, home Bacchus removed the jewels and beads from his beard, removing all symbols of his clan believing himself to be too ashamed to carry the clans sigils, However was confronted by his mother when he tried to depart. Frala had told his parents of the incident and knew he’d try to run. She didn’t try to stop him, but before he left she held out to him a pouch which contained his father's beard rings, In that moment Bacchus truly realised the weight of his actions and vowed to redeem his sins. After leaving the mountain, Bacchus was awestruck by the world outside, he’d spent so long within the halls of his kin and rarely went far into the outside. Bacchus soon developed a desire to see more of the world he hadn’t known and a wanderlust took hold, finding it hard to stay settled for long in a community. The dwarves travels quickly taught him the value of making friends where he could and years of hardwired distrust slowly began to come undone as he met and bonded with people and races of all sorts of life, however Bacchus never fully abandoned his roots, far from his Kin. Bacchus turned to religion to fill the need to connect with the only culture he knew for the longest time, this reached it’s peak when the dwarf swore celibacy and took on the role of a monk. Developing his understanding of his own and to some extent other religions, revoking almost all other pursuits for a more spiritualistic lifestyle During his travels Bacchus came across a young girl by the name of Rene. the girl was lost and a good mile from the nearest settlement. The girl said she was with her mother and was out playing, though Bacchus saw no sign of her mother. The little girl lead him to her mother and Bacchus was horrified by the sight. The woman had long since expired, the cause of death being a gut wound caused by some form of wild animal. The sudden tears and wails of sorrow from the girl burnt deep into soul. Bacchus spent that evening digging a grave for the late mother, marking the grave with a pile of stones, the woman's name carved roughly into one of the stones. Bacchus then took the girl in as his own adopted daughter and the two of them continued their travels. Eventually Bacchus’ travellings brought him to the far distance of Regalia, A long held desire to settle down and find somewhere to fit in, the melting pot of cultures was just enough familiar and foreign to be a place to call home, though with little money and a young girl to care for
