General Information
Name: Vidar Caerwyn
Race: Human
Class: Barbarian
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Deity: Terrema
Height: 6' 8"
Weight: 253 lbs
Hair: Brown. Straight hair, cut fairly short and tousled about messily.
Eyes: Brown.
Appearance: An average-looking human male, if he wasn't so drat tall. Vidar stands at well over six feet in height. He's rather well-muscled, but (somewhat to his vexation) it doesn't show up as bulk, instead granting him a lean frame. Generally he prefers simple clothing - his favored outfit being a pair of loosely cut slacks and similar shirt. When on the job it's hard to find him without a greatsword, either in hand or strapped to his back.
Personality: Vidar's normally rather cheerful and outgoing. At one point he decided that, since everyone apparently knew him due to his stature sticking out like a sore thumb, he might as well try his hand at that "being social" thing. His genial nature and (generally) pleasant demeanor are tempered by a sharp tongue - he's a bit too much of a smartass to be considered one-hundred percent a "nice person." Despite that he believes there is a time and a place for everything, and he might as well try to refrain from being rude most of the time. Really, it's his friends and close acquaintances that have to suffer the worst of his wit.
Despite his normal state of being being lax, actually almost lazy, the one thing that Vidar always seems enthused about is combat against other humanoids. He approaches such battles with wild, gleeful abandon, to the point where he seems to almost have no instincts of self-preservation. Put simply, he loves the thrill of the fight. As put to an exasperated guild-mate on why he seems to obsess over one-on-one armed combat, "Asking me not to fight? You might as well ask the sun not to rise." This blood-lust of his is carefully tempered, however. He lives for the challenge, not the fight itself. Furthermore his blade is always stayed from those who cannot fight, and towards those who fight for causes Vidar himself finds ill-conceived. Finding a sect of Haldians would be like his birthday come early.
Religious Ideals: The best term to describe Vidar's relation with his deity of choice is "tongue in cheek" - while he does enjoy nature, the outdoors, and the joys of free-trade mercantilism, all of the above generally do not always factor into his everyday life. About the closest he comes to worshipful practice is erring on the side of the poor, as well as making sure the jewelry he crafts is elegant, rather than overtly gaudy.
History
tl;dr/placeholder/summary
Vidar had a pretty nice, upper-middle class, mercantile-profession-based, childhood. And then his parents died, and he killed their murderers - and he enjoyed that, even if he went kinda batty in the process. A bit feral, he ran into a swordmaster who lived an almost hermitesque lifestyle with her daughter; she took him in and beat the crazy out of him, and helped him refine a sword-fighting technique. After getting beat up by a pair of girls for about six years, he left to travel the world and broaden his horizons. He made it to Nuln after a while, and joined the Guild - both for cash, and because he liked the organization as a whole.
