Hi!

As fun as the namesake guild is, it feels pretty limited in that it mostly depicts the fantasy trope of ‘’barbarians’’, many of whom belong to species with below-average intelligence who talk like stereotypical pop culture cavemen. Domri was the closest we had to someone with a political stance and actual ideas, but even he wasn’t much of a thinker. The Gruul who aren’t (just) brutish warriors tend to be spiritual shamans who are also mostly based in stereotypes and established tropes.

What are some examples of Gruul characters who aren’t fantasy barbarians/nature-aligned fighters and rangers or wolf children/people who get angry and punch a lot?

Forgive the rant, but I just saw a post of "one of the main colors of The freaking pokemon world, is Black" you know, one of the most Peaceful and whimsical worlds of fiction...

Black isn't just the color of "being driven".

Black isn't just the color of "being blunt".

Black is the color of cruelty, black is the color of sadism, black is the color of "the end justifies the means" but the first "mean" they try is the one that causes most destruction because that's how they see the world, with a certain sociopathy were if they don't take advantage, someone will take advantage of them. Black will cause suffering and thrive in it, you can't take it just for the "force of will". We have heroic black characters as the exemption and in spite of their characteristic, and they still, oftenly are in it looking for a chance, and their methods always rising eyebrows from conventionally heroic characters.

So no, sorry, black isn't the color of "putting your loved ones first"

Black isn't the color to start and lead a revolution.

And black isn't the freaking color of "Jeez, I really want to win this friendly sporty tournament"
