Gunnar "the Undying"

Human / Barbarian

Submitted character story

Gunnar has died four times. The cleric keeps bringing him back and Gunnar keeps being annoyed about it. Not because he wants to stay dead. Because dying is embarrassing and the party won't stop counting.

He's a Zealot of Sigmar. Old soldier, white hair, bad attitude, golden handaxe, crimson coat with skull clasps because subtlety was never part of the doctrine. The rage isn't anger for him. It's prayer. When he goes down swinging he genuinely believes the god of war is swinging with him and based on the damage numbers he might be right.

The nickname started as a joke after the second resurrection. By the fourth it stopped being funny and started being something the enemies whisper about. There's a guy in a red coat who will not stay in the ground. That's Gunnar. He doesn't have a speech about it. He just shows up again, picks up his axe, and gets back to work.
