I plan on using his feats to enhance get exotic weapon proficiency with a whip. He'll probably use a scimitar up close if needed. Are a cutlass and scimitar close enough to be interchangable? If so, it'll be a cutlass.[SBLOCK=Bardach, scourge of slavers everywhere!]Bardach is one of those special people who lives through life doing the job for which they were created. He’s big, ugly, mean as a demon and always looks out for the people who work under him, and is always on the lookout for the people who work above him.  If he had joined an army somewhere, grunts would be calling him Sarge, but since he’s on a ship, all the swabbies call him the Bosun.Bardach started his career as stolen goods. Some Spelljammer pirates thought they would be cute and try a bit of slave trading, and Chuliit sounded like a nice, out of the way, undeveloped world where the slavers could pick up stock and get away without being noticed. It even worked the first time when slavers sacked Bardach’s village when he was at the tender age of 15.Bardach later found out that when the slavers returned for a second run at Chuliit, the other tribes were waiting for them, and threw a rather lethal welcoming party. In the meantime, however, Bardach and his fellow slaves were sold off to various unscrupulous individuals. Bardach didn’t take long in escaping from his master, and stole away on another Spelljammer, naively believing that if one ship took him away from Chuliit, then another would bring him home again.Bardach was fortunate in his choice of ships. Where some might have put him right into the brig for being a stowaway, this ships captain merely put him to work. Though Bardach was depressed to find that the ship wasn’t planning to go anywhere NEAR Chuliit for another year or more, he found his experiences as new sailor aboard a trading vessel to be wonderously exciting, and the crew took to him like a young mascot.In the next two years, Bardach grew into his new life sailing the aether. He eventually decided that, though he loved his old home, there was no-one there for him anymore, and though he would continue in the traditions he grew up learning, he would do so as a Spelljammer sailor.He has continued to serve aboard various vessels from one end of the spheres to the other for the next ten years, and has gained a quiet reputation for reliability, along with a well known hatred for slavers, at least among those who keep track of such things. Unfortunately a recent attempted mutiny damaged the last ship he sailed with beyond repair, and left him stranded in Jhaar, looking for new employment.Bardach is a reliable sailor who is known for his gruff demeanor, trustworthiness, and large leather whip. He prefers to serve as a Bosun, where he can keep an eye on the crew, or as lookout, where he can keep an eye on the Aether. He still follows the spirit worship of his ancestors (in fact, being on a Spelljammer tends to make him feel closer to the spirits than being on land ever has), but he is rarely very open about it.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
