What keeps you from putting a bone-shiv through your skull. Why do you keep fighting?
A PACK:
What's your equipment made up of? You may spend 5 points of gear to determine it. Each piece of equipment can be worth from one to three points. Items worth one point do not present any noteworthy qualities. Each point spent on one item represents either a bonus (+1) to one stat whenever the item comes into play or a special quality of that item (Serrations on the blade of a weapon to make whoever is hit by it bleed profusely).​

 

[Unbreakable Patches]

A Name: Urgesh

Spoiler: Description

Urgesh is a stereotypical barbarian-looking type, with shoulders broader than a boulder and a face carved from bone. However, his demeanor betrays the hardened exterior, as he is quite a gentle giant. His clothing is minimalist, with only a raggedy leather
cloth covering his midsection and worn out sandals strapped to his feet. A single strap of leather going around his
left shoulder seems to be the only thing holding the massive, ornately carved bone club hanging off his back.
He has also crudely adorned his head with the hide of a hideous beast, and takes pride
in the typically disgusted responses to it's horribleness.

Nature: Urgesh is a simple minded cretin, but that doesn't mean he is useless.

Role: He is a brute, bringing down the toughest of warriors and horrors this land has to offer.

Gift(s):
Unbreakable (Urgesh is a beast of a man)

Vicious (Like a rolling ball, once he starts going it doesn't stop.)

Spoiler: Bio

Urgesh does not like to talk about his past, but sometimes when he's a bit too tired or inebriated to care he'll divulge a little
snippet of backstory, though they are very few and far between. These are a collection of quotes he has shared with the group on occasion

"I raised by simple tribe. We take no more than we give back. Is simple life. No fight each other. But we not live in peace.
other tribe TAKE food, SMASH home, NEVER leave us alone! We pick up pieces. Replant somewhere else. Is simple life."

"I not come from simple tribe. Long, long ago, tribe say they find little baby Urgesh in empty tribe home, no one else. Urgesh
want to know where he come from, but in world like this that not very simple. Urgesh happy with life as is."

"Urgesh not seen tribe for long time, and Urgesh miss them. They not miss Urgesh though. I... ran from tribe, in fear, while monster
attack. They barely hold monster off but that not good enough for new leader. Tribe banish me into world to take care of Urgesh,
only Urgesh..."

"Not long after I banished from tribe I ran into big monster. He not like Urgesh, but Urgesh not like him either! But he was hungry like Urgesh.
I give him bite of food, he not take bite of me instead. Is simple life."

Will: Urgesh fights forwards to prove to himself that he is more than an idiot exile and a previously dishonorable coward
