Well, Masane "Melony" Amaha was quite lewd when she transformed. walking cheesecake was what she was. she was not too different from many other scantily clad warrior women in fantasy. the only difference between her and most of her counterparts was she was in a relatively modern setting and still embodied cheesecake.

but, i am a perverse and crazy angel of Mother Lamashtu.

We have an Urban Barbarian whose background is he an orphan who grew up in the slums and just has a lot of rage from his hard upbringing.
Granted some upper class types might still see him as a uncivilized type but he not what most people would consider a standard barbarian.


by the way it is Tar-Tar not Bar-Bar. Bar-Bar came from the bastardization of Latin, more specifically its sub-language called Roman, being turned into the basics of modern Olde English. Which is an extention of a Gaulic/Germanic Battle Tongue. (Languages get stupid sometimes)

How about we call them Tartatians?

NOTE: Tartatians were the most advanced Gaul tribe. They were also the ones who were the most varied and the ones who the Romans usually dealt with do to the fact that they were mercs that fought for the Romans.

Barbarian comes from the ancient Greek βάρβαρος (barbaros), which is either onomatopoeic or comes from the PIE root *barbar-.

Tribe not found. Did you perhaps mean Tartarian?


You do realize Greek like Roman is just a lesser form of Latin. Though Barbaros is considered to also be an origin... It is unknown which is actually the true origin... interesting.

Tartatian is the Roman name for this tribe I couldn't remember their Gaulic name.

What strange alternate universe are you living in? Greek is as distant from the language the Romans spoke as English is from Russian - they spring from completely different branches of Indo-European.


Modern Latin yes which is actually Roman. Latin is also the name for the language used by the ancestors of both Roman and Greek cultures.

Romans called their language Latin because they believed they spoke the true original languages. To use the biblical term "The Language of the Angels/Birds".

Why is it I all of a sudden want to make the 7 Homunculus from Alchemist Knight...

alchemist knight.... do you mean full metal alchemist?

or is there another series out there about alchemy and homunculi


It is another series. Though the Homunculi are also based on the 7 Deadly Sins. The series though is more like Fairy Tail with Pathfinder's Alchemists and its other Spellcasters.

Why dont you call them 'Brutes"... Just because you are the brute squad doesnt mean you're a gorilla in a tunic... Fezzik was a perfectly nice guy. Even when he was fighting...

He wouldnt want you to die embarrassed.

Brutes... Isn't that bad of a name!


And i know... Fezzik is probably the last thing you think of when you're thinking Barbarian because you dont ever see him once 'raging' or 'battleraging' and really the original post isn't specifically hunting down a way to make a barbarian seem less 'ragey'... But he is the thing that the OP is trying to avoid... that a barbarian is some oafish meathead and 'brute' definitely sounds like 'oafish meathead' just as much as barbarian does.

I think the picture the OP is trying to paint is that my 'rager' might be a well spoken pretty princess who goes all psycho when the s**t goes down... And if thats the case well then i think 'psycho' works real well in place of barbarian.

Like marci darcy from married with children... Oh she's nice enough. But if she's not getting what she wants suddenly that tightly sprung bats**t flies on its own. I call that psycho.


I have a Barbarian who is a well mannered Gent even when he is Raging the only difference is whether or not he is breaking your face.


so tennager.. you think

Bi-polar is a good name for the class? ^_^


Yeah, if we're talking 6 months of "rage" and 6 months of cooldown fatigue.

/RL bipolar signing off


What do they call it in palladium... Crazy hero?


Was just informed of a local game set in a Fantasy version of England during the Pike and shot period. They changed the name of the Barbarian class to Highlanders.

There is very little that can offend me, and that is saying a lot. The above statement offends me as I myself am Bipolar. Not cool dude. Don't poke fun at stuff like that. It may have been in jest, but it was absolutely uncalled for and disrespectful. Please be more considerate in the future. Thank you.
