Butt-kicking for Goodness

Minsc is a berserker ranger from the land of Rashemen in far Northeast Faerûn. He left his homeland on a rite of passage called a dajemma, in which he was to seek fighting and adventure on his passage to manhood. He was a bodyguard to a young witch named Dyneheir. The two of them made it far south to Nashkel before Dynaheir was captured by a band of gnolls, and Minsc suffered a head injury. After the injury he encountered Boo, the Miniature Giant Space Hamster he keeps as close boon companion, but that everyone else thinks is just a hamster. Minsc convinced a party of adventurers to help him rescue Dyneheir, and the two of them joined up with the party. They helped foil a plot to force a war between Baldur's Gate and the City of Amn, slaying one of the god of murder Bhaal's children and discovering that their leader was another who rose above the ignoble birth and saved thousands.

Later captured by an elven mage named Jon Irenicus, Minsc witnessed Dyneheir's murder at the elf's hands. His already damaged mind became further unhinged, and he lamented that his hopes of ever joining the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge were permanently dashed. He was forever shamed. He and his friends were led on a very convoluted path by Irenicus, who sought immortality, and a powerful vampire named Bodhi, who wished to steal pieces of the godsoul that were part of the party leader and a young woman named Imoen. Only after being dragged to hell in their efforts to stop Irenicus' dark ritual did they finally manage to defeat the mad mage.

Minsc is an extremely black and white thinker, incapable of seeing the world in shades of gray due to brain damage he suffered in his head injury. He is emotionally and mentally dependent on Boo to whom he talks incessantly and claims communicates with him on a regular basis. He is irrationally protective of the hamster and will physically attack anyone who attempts to steal it or harm it. He sees evil everywhere and often gets himself and companions into trouble by flinging himself willingly and quickly into combat situations. He fortunately has the skill and toughness to survive most of these encounters relatively intact. He has somewhat child-like reasoning and difficulty with complex concepts or subjects. Overall good and kind, he loves to be a hero and protect the weak and innocent.

*Important note: Due to Minsc's limited understanding of the world around him and child-like nature, he is not available for shipping or smut threads of any sort, and I am not interested in flirtatious CR for this character. I don't want to get into OOC debates about sexuality and mental impairment. This is about my own comfort and limits as a player.
