Argua the Barbarian
“Pick Argua! Argua great at nature stuff! Argua bash doors, stomp monsters, an' haul loots! Argua look good, too! All that for food an' a fair share of the shiny.” – Argua the Barbarian
Argua is one-half ogre (“On my dear mama's side.”), one quarter-human, one-quarter unknown, and 100% barbarian. She lives by a simple philosophy: “No problem too tough for muscles!” She applies this credo evenly to fighting, doors (locked or not), card games (friendly or otherwise), cramming herself into leopard-print clothing, potential romantic partners… everything. Her allies tolerate her lack of sophistication because enemies she hits die, doors she hits break, she can schlep everyone else's spare gear, and she's easily diverted from polite social situations by offering a mountain of food (or just hinting that there's something good to eat “over there”).
