Am I the only one now picturing a campaign featuring two bugbears (possibly a bugbear and a goblin) and a human ranger, set in Yellowstone Park?

Pretty funny. No sweat on not finding Pirx -- that just means he's doing his job well. I'm going to enter his character sheet now.
I love Bargr -- it's both an character type I've wanted to play for some time, and he's a personality I've wanted to get to know. But I didn't want to compete with rogues, because I want to play!
So Pirx gets bumped to the front row.

Maybe he'd be like our mascot... we could be like
Da Bears.
I can see Rodeh running around the arena like Ditka going "DA BEARS!" *smash*

I've come up with a new concept, mostly for fun... It was way more difficult to bring this together in some semblance, but I had an idea for a complete coward.
The first character I started with the mechanics and built the fluff. This one I started with the fluff, and then built the mechanics. Mucho, way, much, very, super, more difficult... But it's done, and I'm realeasing him into the forum.
Run'and'Hide Human Ranger|Rogue (hybrid)
You's call i's a coward all you's wants, but i's alive, and he's ain't, MEH!
[sblock=Background]
Born with plague scarring, Run'and'Hide was abandoned in the wilderness by his human parents. A sterile goblin female chanced by the ugly babe, and fell in love with her child.
Rushing the human born baby back toward the hovel, that her clan had stolen out from under a small group of kobold, the infertile goblin raised the baby high and proclaimed her joy. Immediate shouts of dissaproval met the goblin woman, It will attract humans! You's can't go stealing humans baby! I's won't allow in tribe!
Rejected, and dejected the female left her clan, taking care of the only thing she had hoped for in life, a child. She didn't mind the scarring, or the huddled way it crawled and walked.
The child was raised to run first, never fight unless forced, and raid without being seen. He was shown goblin technique for stealthily taking what was needed for survival.
But it wasn't to last long, raiding a particularly alert caravan would be his mothers undoing. She was killed. Run'and'Hide was revealed for a human however, and the aristocrat whom owned the caravan, was beholden to his wife, who had decided it immoral to slay a child as unfortunate as this one.
To the high-borne man it was easy to assuage his wife, he would take the boy to be cared for. What type of care, or who was caring, was not of concern to his wife. And so Run'and'Hide was sold to the local Arena.
The officials painted his face, to cover some of the unsightly scaring, making him into a sad clown, with tears covering more pronounced raised tissue. They placed him into matches in which he quickly learned to act first, before his opponent took him seriously. Often that action was to run, and hide.
The crowd loved watching the terrified, disfigured boy run as fast as he could, screaming as a coward, and hiding, while taking potshots at opponents. It was just the sort of spectacle that brought in money.
The arena gave him his name, Run'and'Hide, and brought him out as comic relief after particularly brutal and disgusting battles. He doesn't know any other name, and couldn't spell his if he were to try, which he won't...

Before the fight even begins, Run'and'Hide is already whimpering and bemoaning his plight. This is more for show now, than when he first began at the Arena. The moment a match begins, his feet are already moving away from the opponent, hands already firing off bolts as quickly as they can be loaded.
Run'and'Hide will immediately make for a precarious place that his opponent can't reach. In one particularly unfair match, the jaguar they brought in could climb any obstacle in the arena, just as fast as Run'and'Hide. Run'and'Hide despreately scrambled to scale the arena wall itself, and diving into the crowd, killed the animal from the stands.
Most often he is considered the underdog, and an animal to be chased, introduced as the goblin child, or son of a goblin. The crowd laughs when he is hit, and cheers when he hits.
A large "sad-face" mask is wheeled into the arena, and attractive women in skimpy outfits walk cards declaring the plot of Run'and'Hide's current story.
It is a comic tale of the poor man, played by Run'and'Hide, who has stolen from the great man, Galileo the Magnificent.
What is it that Run'and'Hide managed to steal, why it's Galileo's shadow! Look even now, as he revels in his ill-gotten gains!
The sun has caught an angle reflecting off the royal boxes gold, giving Run'and'Hide, in his cage, two shadows.
Galileo stands opposite, pressed directly against a wall, so that his shadow is concealed behind his body.
Behold as god rights this terrible wrong! booms the announcer.
Some member of the royalty, probably freshly bathed no less, releases a velvet curtain to block the gold, and remove Run'and'Hide's second shadow. At the same moment, the wall behind Galileo drops, and his shadow is revealed!
But what now for Galileo's justice?! booms the announcer.
the match began...
Turning to see if this was to be a fatal match, Run'and'Hide received his answer...
The final bolt lodged between Galileo's eyes, and it was ordered by the same god who dropped the curtain... Run'and'Hide felt lower than ever, but he was still alive, and Galileo the magnificent was not...
