Appearance

Bravado is a broad-shouldered bronze dragonborn with polished copper-colored scales, a pair of swept-back horns, and bright amber eyes. He wears well-maintained chain mail beneath a blue and white tabard bearing the sunburst symbol of his oath. His shield is battered but carefully repaired, and his longsword has a cheerful slogan engraved along the fuller: “Make a good story.”

Mannerisms

Bravado claps friends on the shoulder, points with his sword instead of his hand, and announces his intentions in an unnecessarily grand voice. Before battle, he gives a short toast to victory, survival, and whatever tavern they will visit afterward.

Personality

Bravado is cheerful, fearless in public, and always ready to turn a dangerous situation into a celebration. He is intensely loyal to his companions, loves meeting new people, and approaches nearly every challenge with the attitude that he and his bros are about to have an incredible time. He genuinely wants to do good, even when he is being loud, reckless, or more interested in the story than the strategy.

Ideals

Courage. Ordinary people deserve champions who will stand between them and danger, even when the champion is terrified. A life without bold deeds is a life with no good stories to tell.

Bonds

The people of his home village trusted him when no one else would. Bravado will risk almost anything to protect their harvests, homes, and children. He also carries the repaired shield of his mentor, a knight who disappeared while defending a remote monastery.

Flaws

Bravado mistakes confidence for competence and often commits to a plan before hearing the whole thing. He hates admitting fear, cannot resist a dramatic entrance, and is easily distracted by an audience, a free meal, or anyone promising that a deed will become legendary.

Quirks

Names every battle plan after a tavern drink.
Keeps a running list of heroic one-liners and tests them on companions.
Insists that every group meal begin with a toast.
Apologizes to his shield after it takes a heavy blow.
Collects unusual buttons, badges, and tokens from people he helps.

Background

Bravado grew up in a small farming settlement where his dragonborn family was known for hard work, loud celebrations, and an almost reckless willingness to stand up for neighbors. He earned his reputation when a corrupt local official tried to seize the village harvest. Bravado rallied the farmers, exposed the official's scheme, and personally held a narrow bridge against hired thugs long enough for the villagers to move their food to safety. The story became larger with every retelling, especially after Bravado began adding sound effects and dramatic pauses. A traveling knight of the Oath of Devotion witnessed Bravado's courage and offered him training. Bravado accepted because the knight promised adventure, good meals, and a chance to become the sort of hero people would sing about. Beneath his thirst for excitement, Bravado sincerely believes that strength should protect ordinary people. He treats every quest as a chance to help his friends, make new friends, and create an unforgettable story, though his enthusiasm sometimes leads him to charge into danger before anyone has finished explaining the plan.
