Beckard Cutler's page

Congratulations everyone! It will most certainly be interesting to follow this adventure from the sidelines. Best of luck!

I would not change a thing, 'tis masterfully written and makes just as much sense to me as the story did before your artistic touch, perhaps even more so.

My hat now rests in my hand, rather than upon my head, and I applaud your changes and agree to said terms. It would seem that we have an accord, sir!

I will be sure to change it posthaste, thank you for pointing it out to me.

I could not agree more.

@Cappi Brightonspinner: In all honesty, I find your background bedazzling and of much higher quality than mine.

Beckard's backstory simply explains why he has changed his name, dyed his hair and how I ended up in Brevoy - any and all solid alterations to said story are welcome, and if we both do get selected I would very much like to intertwine our stories.

Did you have something specific in mind? Perhaps Cappi was part already on board the caravan from New Stetven as Beckard sneaks on board? Or perhaps the troupe encountered Beckard's bandits prior to this?

I would like to submit Beckard Cutler: Male Human (Vasirian) Fighter - to this campaign.

Background:
Born and raised as the only child of an aging farmer - Jon Rivers found that he was better suited for the sword and bow than the rake and plow early in his life. A wrong turn here and a promise there soon led to his many years of banditry - earning him an ill reputation and few friends among the peasants and merchants living too close to the River Kingdoms. His quick wit and tall tales made him popular with his gang of outlaws and he felt more at home with them than he ever did on the farm.

Though generally not violent, his gang suffered from a streak of poor luck and more arrests than usual - paving the way for a "change" in their leadership. Red-Jack Fowler had his throat slit open by Rylak "Bladetongue" Shaw (his nickname earned from a disturbing passion for letting his dagger do the talking for him), leading to a riot between those loyal to Fowler and those loyal to Shaw. The more ferocious outlaws sided with the latter, leaving many of the youngsters and non-violent brigands dead. A few lucky souls managed to slip into the night, though even fewer survived the nights that followed.

Jon made his way to New Stetven, though barely so and with his pursuers not far behind. It would seem that fate had dealt the young man a new hand, when he managed to slip aboard a caravan headed for Brevoy and seemingly to his new life. Word soon reached him of the swordlords issuing charters to adventurers to reclaim the Stolen Lands. The young man dyed his temples white and took the name Beckard Cutler; to hide from lawmen and outlaws alike, before he made his way to the charter-posts - hoping to enlist with the first group of adventurers he could find.

Personality:
Some would say that Beckard Cutler is a brute; as he is strong and somewhat unpleasant to those that don't understand the gritty humor some bandits sport. Even so, he is no villain - and has a big heart for those that can get past his rugged appearance and lack of manners. He's rather sharp and quick at telling a story or two - although he's a liar through and through.

Beckard carries the experience and aptitude of a bandit, having been one for quite a few years - and tends to mistrust those around him. He can also be a wildcard at times, as he easily values his own life over his companions.

Notes:
I am a new player, trying to get into my first campaign on these boards. If you wish to enlist someone more potent and experienced, that is fine by me. I am here to learn - either as a participant or an observer. Thank you for reading my post.
