Character: Steve "Hybrid Barbarian" Howeird
THE BEZERKER! Steven “The Hybrid Renegade Spick-and-Span Barbarian” Howeird!
Steven Howeird, once known as “Hulk Howeird” was a somewhat eccentric kid who loved pro-wrestling, pro boxing, NFL football and body building. Worshipped muscular/ripped actors and athletes in the mid-to-late 1980s, and often emulated pro wrestlers such as Ultimate Warrior, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, Hulk Hogan and the Bushwackers. However, a childhood incident when he fell in a barn and a nail lodged into his skull with no apparent effects other than giving him a lazy eye, Howeird lived on with the help of strange-looking Geordi La Forge glasses (despite HATING Star Trek, which led to some ridicule).
At some point in his teens, Steven started acting abnormally odd, sing a different character every day, Sometimes a pro-wrestler – often the indiscernible “Warrior power” messages from Ultimate Warrior. Sometimes Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sometimes as a Rabbi or Priest. And his Russian hat and Herschel Walker Vikings jersey combined with these things truly made for an odd sight. Mockery led him to dispatching of his Star Trek glasses, and then led to even more ridicule. Seeking popularity, he attempted to join his friend Chrusher’s amatuer vigilante group – the Conquerors. Dressed in nothing but a leopard-print loin cloth and wielding a massive battle axe, complete with his slicked-back hair in the front and partially ponytailed mullet in the back, he failed. Badly beaten by other Conqueror tryouts, he was dropped unconscious into the garbage, where his sanity seemed to leave him during his slumber.
Upon his awakening, his sexuality became completely limitless – male, female, and creatures were not free from his wandering lustful lazy eye and advances. A junkyard territorial battle with Mike Butski left him with no other option, to defeat the Chrusher to get revenge for his humiliating defeat!
Steven has many names, and many personalities. He also appears to have his own language, that apparently only HE knows, as it has no structure other than sounding like gibberish. Claims to be descended from Viking Warriors, Arabian Pirates, Jewish holy men, Conquistadors, and Hispanic mystics and warlords, nobody truly understands exactly what he truly is or is about. Is he mad? Or is he what he says he is and just very eccentric? Nobody truly knows. But when he snaps and is enraged, Barbarian is extremely powerful, manically violent, and viciously lethal.
