Rip Huge!!

== "Rip Huge!! is the best bard the world has ever seen" -- Michael Collins ==
== Description ==
=== How he looks? ===
Rip Huge!! is quite the good-lookin' fella. As goliaths go, he's no squirt, standing 7 feet 6 inches and weighing a hefty 330 pounds. His skin is blue and he has red eyes, with light red paint marks dancing below his eyes and shooting back from his forehead. Rip is without hair and, because of this, he never smiles. His armor is a light, brown leather breastplate and he often carries a black satchel full of all of his most prized possessions from the Cloud Forests. He wears a gold chain around his neck and has huge leather pants and boots, built to last in the cold. Mr. Huge!!! carries a huge longsword in one hand and his trusty tuba in the other hand, looking intimidating but always ready to give the performance of a lifetime to whoever may be fortunate to listen. 
=== His personality? ===
Let it be known: Rip Huge!!! takes no guff from anyone. With generational skill in persuasion, intimidation, and deception, Rip is stubborn and always gets what he wants. This makes Rip a bit more prone to chaos and evildoing than the typical party member. You do not want to leave him in a place where shenanigans are discouraged. This makes him a good person to count on in times where something crazy needs to happen. Rip can do the job, just a little bit silly-like. 
Despite his propensity to act on his first intention, Rip has a soft spot for the arts and can often be found planning his next big song or performance, practicing his instruments, or working on his goal of creating the most widely known and appreciated epic the world has ever seen. Every experience Rip has with the party contributes towards his novel-in-progress. Always scrawling in his journal, Rip's affinity for causing trouble seems to disappear when he can channel his restlessness into concrete tasks. Rip's book wasn't started before he met the party, but, using their shared experiences, he is now over halfway done. 
 
In battle, Rip is no slouch either. He can decimate his enemies in multiple, very different ways. Sometimes he will use his longsword to dish out blows powered up by his Bardic Inspiration, which gives him more damage rolls and a better chance to hit. Other times, he will use his powerful spells like Mass Cure Wounds or Polymorph. He loves to taunt his enemies and often forgets to think about the welfare of his teammates -- a Shatter might go awry and hit Castor, and he wouldn't really care. Still, as a healer in addition to a swordsman and a wizard, he has only the best intentions. 
Rip isn't much for conversation with his fellow party members. A master at talking with strangers, Rip feels somehow less at ease with the people who know him the best. He feels Castor has the same quiet personality traits in good company, and feels they are becoming closer friends. Rip respects Maryn's abilities in battle and well-tempered demeanor in conversation. Unfortunately, Rip is a bit jealous of Voladore's powerful battle capabilities, and he likes to say that Voladore's chosen class isn't even real, but they are working through these barriers in their relationship. Rip knows the least about Mar but wants to learn more about her and her story. 
Rip still hides some important parts of his backstory. He shares little to no information about his homeland, the Cloud Forests. They know that Rip was found in the forests around 20 years ago, unconscious, and were raised by Aarakocra. No one has seen another Goliath in Rip's lifetime, and he has never met anyone who's seen one. But soon, all will be revealed. 
Rip doesn't believe in having driver's licenses, and he can run at subsonic speeds
