Bearhugger

Bearhugger (they/them or he/him) is a Firbolg druid who's been on a reasonable number of adventures with the guild

## Biography

### **Early Years**

Bearhugger grew up in a forest near Fymdell in a tribe with many other Firbolgs. Bearhugger was particularly friendly towards bears, hence how they received their nickname. After they became a Druid they became more friendly with mystical creatures like Dryads and spent time within the Feywild. One of their Dryad friends was named Diphylla.

### **Joining The Adventurer's Guild**

Bearhugger became aware of how chaotic the East Ridings are and what a difference the Adventurer's Guild could make, hence why they decided to join.

### **[Additional Paragraphs]**

[Here, I'd recommend adding some more background, or the character's development while they're adventuring with the guild! Go mad, see Sharian for some inspiration.]

### **[Retirement / Death]**

[Once the PC moves on from the rest, either through retirement or death, add some information surrounding it. Describe their life post-guild, or their funeral and circumstances in which they found themselves full of arrows, and empty of blood.]

## Connections

### Bearhugger's Father

Firbolg's typically don't go in for names. Technically Bearhugger is just a nickname. Bearhugger's father was the one who initially taught them all about nature and magic.

### Diphylla

After Bearhugger had become a druid they spent a long time in the magical area of the forest and the Feywild. Diphylla (a Dryad) was one of their closest friends, they spent time together in the Feywild.

### Lost Human Friends

At some point after Bearhugger had spent a long time in the Feywild 3 human friends asked if Bearhugger would bring them with them. Against Bearhugger's better judgement they agreed. After having some fun with Dryads and other fae creatures, the humans got separated and lost. They happened across a displacer beast who chased them a great distance. Bearhugger was able to find them and hold off the displacer beast with the help of some other friends and the human's escaped.

Unfortunately the humans were in a great panic at this point. The fear of the humans brought forth multiple Screaming Devilkin. Now trapped it was impossible for all of the humans to escape. By the time Bearhugger found them one of the humans had been killed by the devilkin's barbed tails, with another sustaining serious injuries. Only one of the humans managed to escape without any physical injuries, though emotionally they were far from ok.

Whenever Bearhuggers discusses this incident they use pseudonyms for each of the humans.
