Vardos Puddingbait of the Barony of Crimson Dawn within the Empire of the Iron Mountains
Biography
Vardos Puddingbait joined Amtgard in late April 2013, after weeks of cajoling and mild insults from his neighbor and classmate, Elenya Hinoto. He did not regret it, and kept coming back for more.
Vardos enjoys service to Amtgard, political office, traveling to other parks and kingdoms, and 7 second runs on the battlefield.
Mr. Puddingbait is primarily known as a Barbarian during class games, although he occasionally reeves. Vardos particularly enjoys teaching new players the game, as it gives him a chance to try and get them to play Barbarian. He has an aversion to the Arts and Sciences, but does not mind eating them when offered.
Vardos aspires to make many rocks.
Name
Vardos chose his name because it sounded easy to pronounce and spell. People still get it wrong. Mostly because Vardos has poor handwriting. He also goes by or is called Ginger Troll, Gypsy Wagon, Tonsa, and Sweetums. His first name was made from combining selected letters of his full mundane name, and his last name was given to/forced onto him by Grix, Casca, and Gavo. When making his name, Vardos was unaware that it had a meaning outside of his own. Then one day, he decided to Google "Vardos". He saw images of wagon houses. Curious, he Google "Vardos meaning". He became informed that his name was the plural form of vardo, which is a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by British Romani people as their home. Tis a boring backstory, but that is why Vardos is occasionally called Gypsy Wagon by other players.
Random Tidbits
Vardos waffled for his first two weeks on which class to play first. At the time, his park had not started play testing Version 8 yet. The Magic of most of the casting classes intimidated him. Some classes didn't fit what Vardos viewed as his play style, others just didn't interest him. Vardos discovered the Amtwiki, found an article called About Barbarians, and fell in love with the class. Vardos is in love with Barbarian even more with the introduction of Version 8, and is close to 100 credits in the class. Vardos hates the white sash, though. He hasn't washed his white sash, and plans not to until he is mistaken for a Druid, an Assassin, or a Healer.
