huh... well I wasn't expecting that

let me see what I can come up with- Slayer definitely seems like it could be a bit one-note, but I don't think either of us could fairly call any character generated by re-rolling a slayer MANMODE

Skag the Beardless


Not so very long ago Skag was an up-and-coming gnutrommi with excellent prospects. Born into a clan belonging to the Stonemason's craftguild, Skag's clever hands and tireless dedication to his art were noted with gruff approval by his elders, his sensible joviality and good nature made him well-liked among his male peers, while his physique and luxurious beard caught the attention of more than one dwarf maiden. When the gorog flowed it was speculated that he might be able to contract a suitable matrimonial match in a mere 40 years or so. This should have been enough for any true dawi, but Skag was ambitious and like many a dwarf before him, that proved to be his downfall. While perfecting his craft under the tutelage of his senior clansmen would have been the safer course, Karak Norn's relative poverty and location made the prospect of seeking his fortune abroad seem like an extremely appealing prospect. A few petty nobles hiring him to produce statuary or beautify their estates would ensure his fortunes, and if nothing came of it he could always return home after a few years with interesting stories and a greater breadth of experience- there'd be grumbling of course, but he felt it would probably die down after a few decades.

Unfortunately, Skag's plans met disaster almost immediately. The caravan he'd joined was set-upon by a herd of beastmen while traveling between towns. The caravan was well-defended and fended off the attack, but while Skag acquitted himself well in the exchange, he suffered a nasty wound and by the time the caravan pulled into the next town he was delirious from an infection. Seeing he was far too sick to continue, the caravan leader left him in the care of a reputable and kindly inkeeper. Far too kindly as it turned out, as the inkeeper took it upon herself to dose Skag with her own private stock of Mama Melchin's Cure while he was laid out. Whether or not the medicine helped Skag recover is debatable, what isn't debatable is that it caused all of Skag's hair to fall out. Permanently.

On a personal level this was an apocalyptic event- a single well-intentioned action had deprived Skag of the crowning glory of dwarven masculinity and rendered him an unmarriageable freak whose mere existence shamed his clan. Due to the circumstances there wasn't even a grudge for them to avenge on his behalf! The choice to strike his name from the chronicles of his clan and guild and join the Slayer cult was no choice at all- how else could he reclaim even a modicum of honor and pride? Though his decision provides him with little personal solace- his condition has rendered him an outcast among outcasts, unable to fully participate in the traditions of his adopted path and making even the limited and awkward socialization that occurs among Slayers painful for everyone to endure.

Because of this, and despite being fully committed to his course, Skag craves moments of companionship and good humor more than most Slayers, even as his mindset and circumstances render him unpersonable to most. And while he has frequent bouts of depression and freely abuses alcohol in an attempt to escape his situation, he has not wholly abandoned his ambition or the patient thinking that decades of working with stone imbued him with- he seeks death and would never add to his disgrace through cowardice, but he's definitely looking for ways in which he can maximize the glory associated with his passing and redeem himself at least a little in the eyes of his peers, former family, and ancestors.

If you want to be a dwarf outlaw, I'd trade with you. I would find a dwarf slayer class fun to play as, so long as I get to keep my rolls. It'd be fun to play with a light hearted slayer. I mean, if you're already resigned to death, no reason to be so serious about things other than fighting big stuff.
Thanks for the offer, but I already wrote this dude up :v:
