Beringar, Human Fighter
Beringarius, or Beringar for short, might have a noble's name, but is in fact naught but a lowly serf from the east.
He had his first taste of war in his youth, when he was levied to fight for his betters. Thirty years and a few bitter
tastes later, he still draws breath, though not easily, for most of his friends are gone and his family is hungry.
He has journeyed to the Hinterlands in the hopes of pillaging enough treasure to buy his family freedom
and a proper plot of land as well!
Appearance:
A weatherbeaten, sinewy man with bright hair and a scraggly, greying beard. His cloth is poor and unkempt,
his arms and armour dented, rusting, and clearly looted from the dead. There is iron in his gaze, however.
Lawful Alignment.
Can speak
Illiberal and some
Dogeral, but writing is unknown to him.
Attributes:
STR 2,6,4 -12
INT 5,4,4 -13
WIS 3,2,2(6)-11 (replaced)
DEX 2,3,6 -11
CON 2,4,3 -9
CHA 6,1,1 -8
While I could use the replacement on STR, DEX or CON to make a better fighter, cautious adventurers tend to live longer.
It also fits better with the 'gruff old warrior' concept I have going. Old being a relative term, of course.

Victuals -One week's worth, consisting of dried meat and fish, bread, grain (oat), salt, and possibly a sausage or two.
Also, I'd like a jug or flask of some hard liquor, possibly something whiskey-like (Yep, Beringar is a thirsty one).
Some fishing line (yarn?), a few hooks and floats would be dandy, too. What would that cost me?
Finally, if I've missed something or if anyone has any ideas, I'm listening (watching!).
