Big Jim and Little Vic
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 1:41 pm
Jimatorex Hedenreich A.K.A. Big Jim
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Height: 7'8"
Weight: 450 lbs
Description: Tall, muscular, with a paunch and a body crisscrossed with scars from past fights. He is heavily tattooed with the blue designs of his native Pedom Morini. His hands are huge, the knuckles large and callused. He sports a large mustache with the ends twisted and curled, and his hair is waist length, kept in a manageable braid. He has hazel eyes and his hair color is blond. Big Jim forgoes wearing a shirt, instead wearing a pair of white cotton pants and heavy leather boots, complete with thick brown leather bracers.
Purpose: A small time thug, he sells his fists to the highest bidder. He also takes part in the illegal bare knuckle boxing in the back alleys and pits of Marn, taking on all comers, human or not.
Personality: Despite being known as a tough fighter with a no nonsense attitude, Big Jim is actually quite caring and compassionate. He knows he is skilled with his fists, and makes his money through his skills. His way of speaking is heavily accented, so he usually lets his friends do the talking for him, or his fists. He has no use for religion, philosophy, ethics or morals, believing that all that matters is the choice you make when presented with an issue that requires you to make one. He disdains the use of any weapons other than his fists.
Strengths:
Brawler- Big Jim is a proficient street fighter, using every part of his body to damage or wound his opponent. Head, fists, feet, knees, elbows, it matters not. If that body part is in a good position to cause damage, it is used.
Great Strength- Many have been fooled by his stomach, thinking him more fat than muscle, but underneath his stomach he is as solid and unmovable as granite. His income is supplemented by working for the docks or for farmers, and has been known to hook himself to a plow or wagon and out pull the oxen that would regularly take the job themselves.
Weaknesses:
Intelligence (or lack thereof) - Big Jim is not very... intelligent. He seems to have never learned the basic lesson that if it hurts don't do it again. Insatiably curious, he will continue to touch something that hurts, just to figure out why. Or because he thinks it's funny. He has been described as not having the sense to take a bath without drowning, and has almost drowned twice by falling asleep while bathing.
Vicengtorex A.K.A. Little Vic
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 98 lbs
Description: Sharing his fathers hazel eyes and blonde hair, Little Vic is the son of Big Jim. Born to a mother that is no longer in the picture, Little Vic has been raised by a very loving father. Little Vic usually wears his waist length blonde hair in two braids, and has only two of the blue tattoos, a sunburst that circles his entire left eye and a mark that symbolizes the Trickster of the Woods on the web of his left hand. (It looks like two antlers on top of an eye.) His left leg is a a full inch shorter than his right, and is shriveled and slightly twisted. When not on his fathers shoulders, he walks with a crutch. He generally wears brown dyed cloth pants, leather boots, and a leather vest.
Purpose: The brains to his fathers brawn. Vicengtorex may have a stunted leg and be small, but his brain is by no means weak. He helps his father get jobs, and translates his fathers thick accent for people. He also stops his father from getting into too much trouble.
Personality: Despite what has been thrown at him, Vic is a happy and smiling teenager. He has a penchant for practical jokes and tricks, but he never makes them mean. When he plays a trick, it usually ends in every one, including the subject of it, laugh. He has a ravenous appetite for both food and jokes. Sometimes he does get depressed, knowing that he will never become a great fighter or be strong like his father.
Strengths:
Intelligence- The exact opposite of his father in brains. Able to do complex math in his head, he can also read and write. Due to books, he can navigate by the stars, and Vic knows three different languages.
Cunning- Vic uses his cunning and ability with tricks to make money to help him and his father out. Some people will pay very well for a well thought out prank or something that will help them complete a prank. Vic has an ability to read people and what they need, and uses that ability to help his father to find jobs.
Weaknesses:
Leg- Vic can not walk without a limp due to the size differences on his legs, and the leg is much weaker than the other. He can't run, jump, or do anything a young child could do to have fun. He also has difficulty standing on it for long periods of time.
Size- Due to his small stature and weight, Vic can't do many things. Like see over counters or reach things on a high shelf. He fears being stepped on by trolls a lot to.
History:
Not much is known about the father and son duo, except that three years ago the large man walked into town with a small boy on his shoulders, excitedly pointing out sights and new things to his father.
Slowly but surely, the large man built a reputation as a hard worker, strong but slow in the head. His son also built a reputation as the brains behind the brawn, and he was quick and smart enough that employers didn't cheat his father. They've been described as one being when Vic is on the shoulders of his father, a natural extension of the brain and body. At any back alley fight, you can expect to find the large man waiting in the lists, his son excitedly babbling in their native language while he helps his father do his warm up exercises or rubs a muscle to get it loose before a fight.
Lately, Big Jim has been seen visiting the home of the gnome Egg, and is very secretive about why he is doing so.
He also owes some kind of debt to a man named Kori Stronghammer, who he describes as "a rather small fellow, but he packs a hell of a right hook." Vic calls the man Uncle, and they have been looking for him lately, concerned for his whereabouts.
