Life as the snatcher’s dog was hard and awarded little comfort. Varmint was kept in a cage and ruthlessly tortured at the whim of the gang to galvanize him and fuel his rage. This negative reinforcement worked wonders, and within a few short years these thieves had a beast on their hands whom would kill anything within his grasp. They started bringing him on missions, leashing him and sicking him on anyone whom stood in their way. His victims were brutally savaged, and he seldom left a recognizable corpse.

He learned that a life of crime was the one and only true way of life. The “lawful good” society of Talingarde was made of cheaters who found some way to beat the system. If you wanted something, you had to be strong enough to take it. All around him he saw weak and petty humans who deserved the punishment The Snatchers unleashed upon them. He even began to respect his captors, for having the strength necessary to keep him in chains. Though he grew bitter and resentful he lacked the strength to take back his freedom and his life. He found his only joy in the kill, in the rare moments he was unleashed long enough to draw blood.

One night is all it takes to change one’s world. One moment even. A new cage awaited Varmint the faithful night a high profile bounty went terribly awry. The Snatchers made a fatal flaw and accepted a bounty far beyond their expertise. The target was a Duchess from the countryside and her collection of rare magical-tools she acquired from her late uncle, a high ranking Cleric of Mitra. A day and two nights of scouting in combination with their combined intel revealed this to be a simple, basic, snatch and grab job.
What they didn’t know was that the Duchess was to receive a rare visit from The Princess Belinda, and that security protocols on her manor grounds had been tripled over night. The Snatchers were caught moments after their infiltration and were mostly slaughtered by the Royal Guard. Varmint lost total control, and flew into a wild rage. Things went from bad to worse when the Princess herself was nearly caught in his crossfire. A few lucky ones escaped. Varmint survived. He alone was made to answer for the crime of High Treason against the crown for the attempted murder of the princess. Now he sits alone in his cell, awaiting his beheading, seething in rage. Thirstier than ever, for blood.

A hulking beast of a man, mightily shouldered and deep of chest, with a corded neck and heavy muscled limbs. He proudly wears no armor, because, how are people supposed to swoon if they can’t see his awesomely huge muscle bursting all over the place? No, armor is no good for Bohunk. Armor is for sissies. Bohunk doesn’t wear too many clothes at all, actually. But his loincloth, gauntlets and headband that ties back his long flowing blonde hair makes him look damn good.
Bohunk likes anyone that compliments him. Flirtation or outright flattery work just as well. Bohunk dislikes anyone who talks down to him. Talking down to Bohunk is the same as asking to be smashed. Bohunk is happy to oblige. Bohunk is a good guy, so naturally Bohunk will lay the beat down on the bad guys. But Bohunk is also a Barbarian, a sexy Barbarian. And sexy Barbarians don’t care much for the petty laws of city folks. No, sexy Barbarians good-guys smash the bad guys and do as they damn well please.

LVL 1: Skill Rank

Description:
A handsome young man with a kind face, Xandu carries several marks of his Varisian heritage. Long dark hair held back by a leather cord falls to his shoulders and wisps lightly around his face. A short goatee grows scruffily from his chin. His wide dark eyes seem to welcome anyone he talks to. He is tall and lean and wears his colorful clothes and armor well. A blue scarf embroidered with a butterfly of Desna signifies his faith proudly. He’s a well traveled man and treats others sensitively, and with an open mind. He takes other’s opinions to heart and doesn’t force his own ideals, though he’s happy to share the teachings of Desna when appropriate. Utterly curious, he loves exchanging stories and dreams and is always willing to make a new friend.
