H1: Characters - Tostig Al-Briarwood

M's character is a hulking male Bugbear fighter. Tostig Al-Briarwood was hired from Darguun as a merc, and he stayed on in Sharn after his contract. He acts as an enforcer and sends what little extra money he has back to his family. Tostig falls into that civilized barbarian archetype, he grew up on stories of the glorious goblinoid empire of Dhakaan and longs for the return of goblin civilization. At the same time, he's frustrated with his kin for their incessant in-fighting, slave-raiding, and other "barbaric" habits. He frequently finds himself falling back on those tendencies but tries to catch himself.

M has gone through several attempts at drawing Tostig, staying away from the classic D&D bugbear iconography.

v1: Adorable

v2: "beary" cool


v3: the cleaver is a nice touch.
