Description and Background
Description:
Friendly, loyal to friends, but fierce in combat, this feisty ruby-red headed beard groomer enjoys 'good' racial diversity, alcohol, pipe weed smoking, occasional stew concocting, and keeping adventure gear clean and in good repair.
Background:
Hildebad 'Boomvermin' Stonefist, eldest sister of Gristle Stonefist, comes from a clan of common warriors from the distant Dwarf realm of Rockhome. Most of her kin have perished in the array of battles over the last few centuries. Her desire to see things outside the Dwarven halls has led her to the lands of Man and visitation of the nearby Dwarven clans of Karameikos. She seeks adventure, and to meet those different than herself.
She is a lot more friendly than a typical Dwarf, and she bears no grudges toward Elves, Men, or anyone other than Goblins, Orcs, and Giantkin. She loathes those three 'dirties' above all the others. A passionate loathing like a single minded, almost fanatical, determination to destroy them.
Her clan is of little means, and she has gathered what she could to set out in search of fellowship, true companions, and splendid adventure! This has led her to where she is excitedly screening out unqualified adventurers, so she can assemble the best team possible for opportunities of adventure.
Unlike most in her clan, but much like her brother, Hildebad spends abnormal amounts of time grooming her deep ruby-red hair and beard, of which she is quite proud! Her gear, and the gear of her companions (if allowed) are always clean and in good repair. When she isn't being productive with others, she can be found doing her favorite chores and activities: sharpening her ax, drinking ale, cooking stews, or smoking her pipe (an old hand-me-down from Gristle).
Despite her gender and stature, Hildebad is quite strong, and takes her tasks with the utmost seriousness. Her first job, as a girl that could barely walk, was to rid the rooms of vermin. Rather than use traps, she chose a hammer she could barely lift, and BOOM! the rest is history.
Like her brother, she has a warm personality and an unyielding loyalty to her friends and companions. Hildebad comes from a family of fighters, is fluent in a plethora of armor and weaponry, and those that take lightly her prowes |
