Any cool ideas for Barbarian characters who aren't Conan clones or Not!Vikings? No specific system, just general ideas that could be adapted to any fantasy game.

This was one of my previous barbarian's philosophies.

>Anger is the expression against wrongness in the world
>Fury is not born from personal ideals, but as a outcry of the soul against imperfections of the material
>Thus it is the duty of all those who feel the fury to rebel against these imperfections, returning them to the dust from whence they came

my friend is running a pretty cool barbarian in my Innistrad themed D&D campaign.

Basically he was orphaned and left in a small town. The community raised him, so he never had a true family, because all of the village loved him and raised him as their own, so you could say the village was his family.

As he grew, he had massive strength, and quickly towered over most men. He help the village by doing hard labor, heavy lifting, farm work, etc., that would almost require 2 men.

One day, a vampire comes to his town and using his superhuman strength, knocks it's fucking teeth in. Since then, his village has been under threat from creatures of the night, and because of that, they lack trade so they are suffering from a food shortage.

He is now out on a quest to find a sustainable food source for his village, and also kill baddies.

Essentially he's just a big, lovable, folk hero who is going out in the world to save his family/village. He gets raged when hurt or sees injustice. Kinda like a paladin barbarian

This is also 5e, he chose path of the totem warrior cus right now a lot of the campaign is in a forest, he's been learning to conrol his strength through animals

There once was a Human Being, and he was very small. But he won a name: Little Man.
He went on a war party against the Pawnees. But the Pawnees were many. One by one, the Human Beings were rubbed out. Little Man was very brave. The Pawnees called out to him, "If you will quit fighting, we will let you go". But Little Man answered, "It's a good day to die". Finally, they cut off his head, but he kept fighting without his head. He rode among the Pawnees like a whirlwind ,and his head, which was stuck on a spear, started to shout the war cry. The Pawnees could take no more, and they ran away. When they looked back, they saw the body of Little Man lie down among his friends. Little Man was small, but his bravery was big.

A "barbarian,' is an 'uncivilized,' person. Someone who doesn't speak the local tongue, and/or lives outside of the geographic borders of the society defining civil in this situation.
The only thing you have to do to make them a 'barbarian,' is
> A: make them foreign to even a minor degree (usually via strange clothes, makeup, hair, and/or a distinct accent).
> B: Make them ignorant of and/or a non-participant in various customs of the common masses

Even withing the boundaries of being a combat character there's no relevant limit to the kinds of characters that can be a 'Barbarian.' Animal trainers, mercenaries, poets, shamans, rangers, pit fighters, musicians, herb-based medicine-men, traveling entertainers, etc. Motives too, as with all charters, are the greatest way to differentiate a character from a stereotype. Vengeance and conquest are all well and good, but as soon as you make their long-term objective something other than either of those you've already broken well out of the Kull The Conqueror mold.

Iunno, just play a character from a hunter-gatherer or primitive agriculturalist culture.

I've thought about making a barbarian who fights like the Harii that Tacitus describes in Germania:
As for the Harii, quite apart from their strength, which exceeds that of the other tribes I have just listed, they pander to their innate savagery by skill and timing: with black shields and painted bodies, they choose dark nights to fight, and by means of terror and shadow of a ghostly army they cause panic, since no enemy can bear a sight so unexpected and hellish; in every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered.

I had one who was a spoiled rich noble who'd mastered tantrums as a child, and turned to outright fury as an adult. This was in pathfinder, so i took Lesser Beast Totem, and flavored it as him carefully sharpening and strengthening his (flawlessly painted) nails.

He was fun because he looked like a generic noble dressed in clothes that obscured his physique, but then he'd literally rip your face off with his hands if he got pissed off enough.

One of the players in a game I ran once was basically the first one. He was a really quiet ex-army major who was constantly paranoid over enemy soldiers, even though the war ended decades ago. Crunchwise, he was a barbarian/bard hybrid. Having gone mad after the war, when he was in his rages he'd yell out cryptic phrases that'd scare enemies off and hype up the party.

I had a friend who once played a barbarian as a Juvenile Dwarf.
Like 20 years old, so mentally about 7, but with a pretty well developed body.

His rages were temper tantrums. He was a barbarian mainly because he was buff and didn't understand social cues cause he was a child.

It was pretty great.

Neat.
I made a barbarian who was a small, thick, coward guy whose attitude was being always absurdely pessimistic.
Once in combat and someone was wounded, he'd usually say "oh my god we're GONNA DIE" and start hacking around without regards for friend and foe, not for murdering spree but simply by flailing around his weapon for tremors. He had a few flaws about having thac penalties and low wisdom, but compensated with very high damage and whirlwind attacks all the time.
He was so scared that this actually got most of his strength out in the serious situations and saved asses. A real bro.

There's a Barbarian PC in my current 5e game with the Soldier background (far right), he's a typical angry young highlander conscripted into the military and little does he know but he has that drop of ancient cursed blood that is particular to people of his region of the world, he goes into a Blood Frenzy when stressed out. Hense he's a lousy soldier with constant discipline problems but the other PCs find ways to help him cope by transferring to a scouting squad away from the main force ("the Adventuring Party").

SC is pretty important, since it finishes off the Joestar-Vampire saga, but overall, it feels like the weakest storyline. Its fights weren't as clever as those of Battle Tendency or the later parts, and Jotaro is a tough character to like when he's following on the coattails of Joseph Joestar's ruse cruise and Jonathan's old-fashioned gentlemanly heroism.

Polynesians are a cool source of inspiration that doesn't get used much. The Haka dance is pretty baller and I can easily imagine a warband using something similar to hype themselves up before a big fight. Dance is a neglected part of fantasy games, for some reason, right next to food.

I think it's worth noting the difference, though. Some people are going with the "what are some interesting outlander types and tropes I can make a character around" and some people are going for the "what are rage-based characters that I can build a concept around."

They're very different, not that I mind both kinds of discussion happening. I think that it's important to be clear, as OP was not.

I usually play a berserker in something closer to Record of Lodoss War: partially possessed by some kind of spirit which drives them mad and gives them unnatural strength and ferocity.

In order to not get paladin-smited and to not be a danger to the party, however, this relationship is usually with something that's willing to relinquish control to the host body as needed, not kill his friends and aside from giving him urges to always take the most open and violent course of action doesn't really do much unless called upon.

In Pathfinder, there's a barbarian archetype that lets you get a Dex-Boost while raging instead of Con/Str.

Add that to the Gunslinger who adds Dex to ranged damage, and you've got the Max Payne Barbarian.

Pardon my unabashed weebness, but I'm in the process of making a delusional magical girl. She 'transforms' into her 'magical girl state', blasting away at enemies with magical super attacks, which in actuality consist of her yelling out the name of an attack and just hitting someone really hard.
Naturally, she has no prowess for actual magic and barely eeks out a 10 INT, if that. Includes overdramatic speech about the fictional universe she believes she's in, and when put on the spot to explain anything it will be heavily influenced by the same fiction. ("I recognize that man! He's from the Redcoats, the society trying to destroy all magic!")

I think all your nature-themed barbarians need to have a talk with Marvbarian

"Folks say I 'got a rage problem.... I just get confused sometimes."

In all seriousness, a genuinely urban barbarian of the squalorous "jungle" of a metropolis (medieval or otherwise) could be awesome.... even better, CITY OF DOORS MARV.

They'd make good mob enforcers and hitmen.

except Marv does really get confused. And its supposed to be modern Conan by word of god. Your sugestion to make something that isnt a Conan clone is to make a Conan clone.
