Three Invaluable Traits of a Barbarian
Through the many Yuris of our existence, we Barbarians have developed many traits. As IceManABK once wrote, our three greatest traits are our abilities to: Protect our brethren, Humble our foes, and Survive all challenges. These three traits are crucial for all young Barbarians to develop at an early age. But as time has moved on, we have developed many more significant traits that are becoming a part of the Barbarians but do not define us.
Perhaps the most important trait of a Barbarian is his ability to protect his brethren. Barbarians of the Nexus and all around the world uphold family before anyone or anything else. If you do not feel a bond between your brothers and sisters, then you are not a true Barbarian. A Barbarian will valorously charge into a losing battle and sacrifice his life for his family. If you do not feel this conviction, maybe you are not in the right path. But on the opposite end, Barbarians do call upon each other to outnumber and overcome our foes. No man or woman can criticize us for this simply because Barbarians are not the only humans to do it--do not think we are dishonorable for doing this but know that we have a heavy conviction to protect our family against anyone who tries to hurt us. Would you idly sit by and watch your family die?
Like any other human being, Barbarians lose and win many battles. The trait of humbling your foes should not be translated as "Barbarians think they never lose in battle." Like anyone else, we have lost many battles--it is a part of life and must be accepted. Barbarians do strive to be the best in battle and will go to great lengths to make a mockery of their enemies though. We do our best to Humble our foes and often, we are successful.
Surviving all challenges is something Barbarians are very talented at. Win or lose, Barbarians always stand up after the endeavor is finished. For many Yuris now, we have survived the wilderness, the constant battles with our enemies, and we have survived the attempts of corruption upon our path. No path is perfect, including us, but it is a definite that Barbarians will be here until the end of time.
These are the three primary traits a Barbarian must learn before he is brought home as we say. He must have a conviction to Protect his brethren, Survive all challenges, and Humble his foes. No Barbarian can be strong without these three abilities.
