(BARBARIAN AU)

Conan (42) is a tall man, mightily shouldered and broad of chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily muscled limbs. He's clad in silk and velvet, with the royal lions of Aquilonia worked in gold upon his rich jupon, and the crown of Aquilonia shone on his black mane of hair; but the great sword at his side seems natural to him, he uses it with one hand as well as both hands with ease more than his regal accouterments. His brow is low and broad, his eyes a volcanic blue that smoldered as if with some inner fire. His dark, scarred, almost sinister face is that of a fighting-man, and his velvet garments cannot conceal the hard, dangerous lines of his limbs. But His garb is very often a loincloth or breeches and sandals when not dealing with royal matters.

In his life he has traveled throughout the world and been a thief and outlaw, a mercenary and commander of a mercenary company, and a pirate. He began building larger units of men, aiming for greater territorial ambitions, though his efforts were repeatedly thwarted, usually by the total massacre of his forces except for himself. However, by his forties, he finally succeeded in becoming king of Aquilonia, the most powerful kingdom of the age, having strangled the previous ruler, on the steps of his own throne before sitting upon it as the new king.
