Arjigo

== History ==
Arjigo was born and raised in Tian Xia's Valashmai Jungle, in a hardy tribe of lizardfolk that wandered the region's vast swamps, fighting the giant vermin and taming the wild dinosaurs.
Descended from a long line of lizardfolk heroes, expectations were high for Arjigo from the moment that he hatched. At first his elders were concerned due to the quiet and unassuming hatchling's interest in herbs and other swamp plants, but these concerns were dismissed dramatically when the young Arjigo revealed that he could use these same plants and herbs to strengthen his body and ability to fight.
Frequently sent hunting, Arjigo's ability to shift his form revealed itself on the very same day that his eye was scarred by a giant hellgrammite. Though he lost an eye he gained respect and admiration, for the ability to change forms was one rarely seen outside of his tribe's druids.
Life went on, and Arjigo eventually discovered the teachings of the war god Gorum. He swiftly adopted these teachings because like the deity in question he reveled in combat, often choosing to rush dangerous prey head on rather than sneak up on it.
However, lizardfolk are not warlike by nature, and Arjigo's seemingly boundless rage and blood-lust eventually alienated him from his tribe. At that point he became a wandering mercenary who roamed Tian Xia in search of battles worth fighting.
His wanderings eventually brought news of a newly discovered continent, Nibiru, to his ears, and he set off for the new land in search of a new life.
== Appearance ==
Prolonged usage of mutagens has given Arjigo's dark grey scales a permanent spiked appearance, and combined with his scarred eye, this lends him a fearsome appearance, as if he were an atavistic throwback to some deadlier lizardfolk ancestor.
== Personality ==
As a barbarian, Arjigo is quick to anger and possesses a deep well of rage from which he draws many of his powers, but outside of combat he is surprisingly patient and calm, treating his alchemical pursuits almost as a form of meditation. That said, he revels in combat as a test of strength and skill, though he channels his blood-lust towards nobler goals than many.
== Aspirations ==
Arjigo seeks combat with a purpose, and for the moment seems to have found it in the defense of Mutoun from the marauding hags and giants.
