Roleplaying Notes

The rank-and-file of the fort. These thugs are simple muscle used to intimidate others and do the dirty work. They are dangerous in a group but easily dispatched alone. This particular thug is a veteran enforcer, much tougher and more reckless than his peers.

Additional Info

Appearance A scruffy and unkempt brigand in worn leather armor, with a haggard expression. Their gear is mismatched and poorly maintained, a reflection of their desperate existence. They carry a massive, scarred greataxe.
Voice/Mannerisms Gruff and sneering, they speak with a rough dialect and often use threats or curses in their speech.
Bond Their loyalty is to whoever is paying or protecting them. They serve Janein out of fear and pragmatism.
Ideal Survival. They believe in looking out for themselves above all else and have little loyalty.
Flaw They are cowards at heart and will flee if a fight turns against them.
Info The rank-and-file of the fort. These thugs are simple muscle used to intimidate others and do the dirty work. They are dangerous in a group but easily dispatched alone.
