NPC: Barney

When Barney was born, he was immediately cherished by his family. Baring an uncanny resemblance to his father, King Huepoe, Barney was chosen to be the heir of Last Notch even before his first birthday. Ever since then, he sure isn't afraid to make that fact known. If Barney could have a theme song, you can bet it would be "I just can't wait to be king". 

The definition of a spoiled brat, Barney is allowed to do whatever he wants, and what he wants more than anything is to PAR-TAY! Boy does he throw a mean hoedown though. Barney may not have a lot of book smarts, but what his lacks in brains, he makes up for in charisma. Like his father, Barney is very good at getting others to like him. So much so, that he's severely put off from those that end up disliking him. What did he do to them? Why don't they like him? They didn't even get a chance to know him!! Obsessed with self image, Barney will go out of his way to gain the affection of anyone he finds interesting, quite desperately longing for positive attention. 

Growing up, he was always surrounded by family and friends, and has become accustomed to it. He loves his parents dearly, but doesn't get to see them as often anymore due to to their schedules. To make up for his lack of family interaction, Barney throws parties to surround himself with friends. As his family has become more and more spread out recently, so it's been said that he throws a party at the Gumbuckle Estate almost every weekend if he can. A lot of Last Notch residents use him as a tool to get further in life, gaining connections and wealth. As blatant as they are, Bareny doesn't seem to mind. After all, being adored is better than nothing, even if it's just temporary.

Barney is the biggest extrovert you'll ever meet. He hates being alone so much, that spending even an hour in the Gumbuckle Estate by himself causes him to get depressed. Always needy as a child, Barney is desperately trying to seek his parent's attention, however busy they may be. Although he understands that being an adult is different, he still has trouble accepting his role as the heir and would rather just leave the control to his brother Tarmarius. Responsibility is definitely not his forte. 

In a crowd, Barney is the most charismatic and friendly face you'll encounter. Always happy to lend a hand, donate some coin, or provide some delicacies, it's no secret that Barney pays for his friendship quite literally. Known to throw a tantrum when things don't go his way, he has a hard time understanding the word "no", or moving on. If you ever want to know about any Gumbuckle secrets, Barney is known to spill them to the closest ear that will listen. He likes to vent, this boy.
