Crabface Strikes again

So I'm gunna join up in that Olhandst OCT with this crabfaced feller. [link] and [link] will tell you all you need to know about it.

Out of the 4 classes, I think the Boltergrad (known as Beastheads) are the most popular. With the others there isn't much creative freedom, but being able to put pretty much any animal head on a stout dude makes for awesome on a multitude of levels.

Anyways, so this dude has a crab for a head, simple enough right? The massive claw? That's part of his armor. Under that thing is a normal person hand, since Beastheads only animal attribute is their animal head, makes sense right? They don't call them Froghands or anything, so yeah, animal head only. I'm guessing there's some mechanisms in there that allow him to clasp that claw shut nice and tight, and I'll pretend that after years of using it he's gotten good at it.

On his other arm is a sword attached to the armor rather than in his hand. Likewise this would have mechanisms in it so it would rotate back when he didn't need it. It also leaves his exposed hand free for holding onto something while he sword fights cause he probably wouldn't be holding it in that claw (you know, on the off chance he needs to carry a key or something he found then gets attacked).

The claw, being armor and huge like that, doubles as a shield so he's got that going for him.

While he lacks a name I figure I've got his story plotted out pretty well. He is a retired soldier of the Hand. When I say retired I mean more like they are never at war so he really never has to show up for work. Despite that he is extremely dedicated to his country, and perhaps the crown. I don't know yet. I'm leaning towards the Hand since he is a soldier, but at the same time that seems to be where everyone else is going and the Rebels might be the way to go if the Hand is looking crowded. Should mention I'm entering this with so I can't just make the decision spur of the moment.

So I'm thinking when it all starts out he's in a bar, drinking like anyone with a face like that would. When in come some folks asking for him, cause they just know a crabfaced bastard would be at the bar. So these folks would ask for his assistance. If I go with the Hand then it's a bunch of soldiers. If I go with the Rebels then it's a bunch of rebels that run in there to try and get him on their side before some real soldiers show up and convince crabman otherwise.

Then I figure out what Claam was planning, get out some duct tape and patch the two together, and Vwalla! The most amazingful entry of them all.
