About Brom WolvenHistory & Motivations: "Brom hates the magic and the Tycho. Brom makes good friend to friends, and terrible enemy to his enemies. You have an enemy to stomp, or a bully that don't go away, just get Brom and the problem will be gone away like a gopher smashed into his hole. Brom's hopes? Well Brom hopes to lead men one day, not like the tribes, but like the little men. With marching and turning and shouting together. Brom has fought against the small men who fight this way, and has seen it be good. Good as rain on hot day. Give Brom a chance, and Brom will achieve greatness! For Brom, and those smart enough to be close to to Brom." He's a barbarian who's trying to be smart like the 'small men' (basically everyone who's not a barbarian) and knows that he must try to integrate himself into their society if he ever hopes to learn and be as powerful as the small men have learned to be. He's lost many men when attacking the small men, never able to understand how the tribe would lose against smaller, weaker foes. To gain this knowledge, which he believes will make him powerful, powerful enough to one day rule the tribes, he has forsaken the traditions of his people to remake himself -and this Remaking has led him to Brevoy. Bearing a number of scars riddled accross his body, scars which he believs give him power and focus. It is interesting to note he seems to enjoy bestowing these badges of honor upon himself, or when others give them to him in battle, often taking steps to ensure the scars remain, even if the deeper wounds are healed. Referring to "Krasa" often, his huge Earthbreaker, he has a love of the weapon rivaled only by his love of the scars upon his body. Appearance

Scarred Rager
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A barbarian is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, and shields (except tower shields). Terrifying Visage (Ex): A scarred rager adds 1/2 her barbarian level on Intimidate checks against humanoids who are not members of barbarian tribes. When dealing with barbarians, the scarred rager may choose to add this bonus on Diplomacy checks instead. The DC of any fear effect created by the scarred rager also increases by 1. This ability replaces fast movement. Rage (Ex): A barbarian can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting her additional combat prowess. Starting at 1st level, a barbarian can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that a barbarian can rage per day. A barbarian can enter rage as a free action. The total number of rounds of rage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive. While in rage, a barbarian gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the barbarian 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration. A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A barbarian cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death. Tolerance (Ex): At 2nd level, a scarred rager who fails a save against an effect that causes her to become nauseated, sickened, fatigued, or exhausted can make a second save to negate the effect on the start of her next turn. Only one additional save is allowed. If the effect does not allow a saving throw, its duration is halved instead (minimum of 1 round). This ability replaces uncanny dodge. Scarification (Ex): At 3rd level, a scarred rager can ignore 1 point of bleed damage per round. This amount increases by 1 every three levels beyond 3rd. At 15th level, a scarred rager can ignore 1 bleed effect each round. This ability replaces trap sense. Improved Tolerance (Ex): At 5th level, a scarred rager's tolerance ability also applies to effects that would cause her to become dazed, frightened, shaken, or stunned. This replaces improved uncanny dodge. Damage Reduction (Ex): At 7th level, a barbarian gains damage reduction. Subtract 1 from the damage the barbarian takes each time she is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. At 10th level, and every three barbarian levels thereafter (13th, 16th, and 19th level), this damage reduction rises by 1 point. Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0. Greater Rage (Ex): At 11th level, when a barbarian enters rage, the morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution increases to +6 and the morale bonus on her Will saves increases to +3. Indomitable Will (Ex): While in rage, a barbarian of 14th level or higher gains a +4 bonus on Will saves to resist enchantment spells. This bonus stacks with all other modifiers, including the morale bonus on Will saves she also receives during her rage. Tireless Rage (Ex): Starting at 17th level, a barbarian no longer becomes fatigued at the end of her rage. Mighty Rage (Ex): At 20th level, when a barbarian enters rage, the morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution increases to +8 and the morale bonus on her Will saves increases to +4. Ex-Barbarians
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Auspicious Mark (Su): The barbarian has been marked by the spirits, as indicated by an impressive tattoo, scar, or birthmark she possesses. Once per rage, as a swift action that costs 2 rounds of rage, the barbarian can call upon the spirits' favor. Using auspicious mark grants her a +1d6 bonus on one d20 roll she has just made. She can call on the auspicious mark after seeing the result of the d20 roll. [spoiler=Some good Rage Power options]
Come and Get Me (Ex): While raging, as a free action the barbarian may leave herself open to attack while preparing devastating counterattacks. Enemies gain a +4 bonus on attack and damage rolls against the barbarian until the beginning of her next turn, but every attack against the barbarian provokes an attack of opportunity from her, which is resolved prior to resolving each enemy attack. A barbarian must be at least 12th level to select this rage power. Increased Damage Reduction (Ex): The barbarian's damage reduction increases by 1/—. This increase is always active while the barbarian is raging. A barbarian can select this rage power up to three times. Its effects stack. A barbarian must be at least 8th level before selecting this rage power. Internal Fortitude (Ex): While raging, the barbarian is immune to the sickened and nauseated conditions. A barbarian must be at least 8th level before selecting this rage power. Intimidating Glare (Ex): The barbarian can make an Intimidate check against one adjacent foe as a move action. If the barbarian successfully demoralizes her opponent, the foe is shaken for 1d4 rounds + 1 round for every 5 points by which the barbarian's check exceeds the DC. Raging Climber (Ex): When raging, the barbarian adds her level as an enhancement bonus on all Climb skill checks. Raging Leaper (Ex): When raging, the barbarian adds her level as an enhancement bonus on all Acrobatics skill checks made to jump. When making a jump in this way, the barbarian is always considered to have a running start. Raging Swimmer (Ex): When raging, the barbarian adds her level as an enhancement bonus on all Swim skill checks. Regenerative Vigor (Ex): After using her renewed vigor rage power until her current rage ends, the barbarian gains fast healing 1 for every 6 barbarian levels she has (maximum fast healing 3). She regains hit points from fast healing at the start of each of her turns. A barbarian must have the renewed vigor rage power and be at least 6th level before selecting this rage power. Renewed Life (Ex): While raging, the barbarian ignores the effect of one temporary negative level per four barbarian levels she has (maximum 5). Once per day, when a barbarian with temporary negative levels ends her rage, she can attempt saving throws to remove a number of negative levels equal to the number of levels she could ignore while raging. A barbarian must have the renewed vitality rage power and be at least 6th level before selecting this rage power. Renewed Vigor (Ex): As a standard action, the barbarian heals 1d8 points of damage + her Constitution modifier. For every four levels the barbarian has attained above 4th, this amount of damage healed increases by 1d8, to a maximum of 5d8 at 20th level. A barbarian must be at least 4th level before selecting this power. This power can be used only once per day and only while raging. Roused Anger (Ex): The barbarian may enter a rage even if fatigued. While raging after using this ability, the barbarian is immune to the fatigued condition. Once this rage ends, the barbarian is exhausted for 10 minutes per round spent raging. Terrifying Howl (Ex): The barbarian unleashes a terrifying howl as a standard action. All shaken enemies within 30 feet must make a Will save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the barbarian's level + the barbarian's Strength modifier) or be panicked for 1d4+1 rounds. Once an enemy has made a save versus terrifying howl (successful or not), it is immune to this power for 24 hours. A barbarian must have the intimidating glare rage power to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at least 8th level before selecting this power.

You’re looking to get away to somewhere no one would ever think to look for you, and where you can gain this understanding you seek. An expedition into the rugged wilderness seems like a perfect way to gain the trust of those you wish to study. You begin the campaign with an extra 100 gp in ill-gotten gains. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks when dealing with brigands, thieves, bandits, and their ilk. 2) Bully: You grew up in an environment where the meek were ignored and you often had to resort to threats or violence to be heard.

Longish Entrance Story:
Entrance story As he jogged through the beautiful forest trees, Brom thought back on his most recent encounter with the small men. It'd been days and days, and tens of miles since he'd seen a living soul, but as he ran he saw the signs of civilization more frequently, rising smoke to the east, a plowed fields a few leagues away, the sound of a tree being chopped by an axe. He avoided this placed for now, sensing that when it was time to make contact with a small man, his spirit would know it. Then a surprisingly nearby sound came from off to his left, a mans death-scream, just on the other side of a small rocky ridge. He'd heard many men scream on the fields of battle, whether the screams small men or the People, and this was definitely a death-scream. Almost involuntarily his quietly running feet turned towards the ridge, his steps becoming softer and slower, until he approached the edge at a bear crawl, smoothly adjusting Krasa so the huge hammer would not scrape against the earth. Finally at the edge, he peered over, noting just two small men tucked in the relative shelter of the ridge. Lucky for Brom, the sun was at his face and not his back, so his shadow would not be seen breaking the ridgeline by the small men below. It was a bloody scene, the coppery scent of blood rising to his nose. One small man, plainly dressed in nonmilitant small men garb -blood soaking those garments thoroughly, was lying on the ground as his lifeblood seeped out of him. The other man held a long and bloodied dagger in one hand, dressed darkly, and with armor showing at the edges of his clothing. He was rifling through the dying mans pack and clothes, ignoring the injured fellows weak attempts to push his hands away and stop the dark flowing blood. Brom shook his head, confused at the sight, it did not seem an honorable death, but the barbarian could not reason out the happenings, and so began easing himself up to crawl away and carry on with his business. But as he glanced down one last time, he saw the dying mans eyes were fixed on his, a mere 15' separating them. Blood was bubbling at his lips as he moved them silently, whatever words he was speaking to Brom forever remaining unheard. What made him stay however, was the appeal and honesty in the dying mans eyes. Something touched deep inside the Barbarian, and he knew what he must do. Remaining quiet, the tall barbarian stood and took a hold of Krasa in two calloused hands, and then leaped down the distance to the floor of the ridge. Landing heavily, but balanced, Brom lifted Krasa high overhead, even as the knife-wielding man froze and started to turn towards the unexpected sound. He'd never see his attacker, as the full weight and fury of Krasa crashed onto his small man head, obliterating it and crashing the dead bandit into the ground. Brom sniffed and let Krasa fall to the ground, moving to the nearly-dead adventurer, checking his grievous wound without hope. The man, who'd never removed his eyes from Brom, managed a bloody smile, and reached a trembling hand into his jacket pocket. He removed a carefully folded sheet of paper, remarkably free of blood, and held it out to Brom with failing strength. He coughed a painful, blood-filled cough, and managed a few last words, "Take this Charter... head... Head west -- Oleg's Trading! Pharasma be praised." and died in the big mans arms. Brom sighs regretfully, the small man had seemed nice enough... for a small man. Standing and moving to the very-dead bandit, not that Brom knew what he was at the time, he removed one of his axes from his belt with his right hand, and placed his left hand on the bandits chest. Taking a deep, excited breath, he drew the sharp edge of the axe across his forearm, drawing a bright bead of his own blood. He let his head fall back and held his arms out to his sides, basking in the self-inflicted pain. Then he turned and hawked into the dirt at his side, mixing spit and dirt into a tiny muddy puddle. Next he scooped up a glob onto his finger, and pressed the mixture into the fresh wound of his forearm, causing it to string with fresh pain. The barbarian then ignored that pain, and set about covering the first dead small man with rocks, not having a shovel to bury him. Once this was done he looked at the dark-garbed dead small man, and sniffed. Satisfied with his work he turned and headed due west, the folded piece of paper secured in his pack.
