Well, I can tell you who *weren't* barbarians. The inhabitants of the Barbary states. They were berbers, and pirates, not barbarians. Different character class.
That is common among cultures, though the Romans were more tolerant of conquered cultures, and Romanized the conquered peoples over generational time frames. You could look at some of the middle eastern cultures for their interpretation of honor, or Asian cultures for the concept of shame. These and similar aspects of cultures give you fertile ground for developing your Barbarians.
I'm so sorry. If it's any consolation, at least you know you're not the only one who's aware of UHF. I love it how Gandhi's fist went right through the poor person's chest.
While "berber" has the same etymological origin. I've recently heard it used with the same derogatory tone I imagine the Greeks used "barbaros." But I know the person who said it, and most things that come out of her mouth sound derogatory. She complimented me on something once and I really started questioning my qualities. More into the mage-class? Which is one of the best sentences.
Oh. I forgot why I actually came here. The mystery's solved. I sat down to listen to the album I thought I knew by heart, and our barbarian is simply a Viking after all. He's all about the glory of battle, calls upon Thor and is planning to do battle at Odin's side. So technically speaking this thread is done, but feel free to discuss Gandhi II.
