Lumberjack

Role/Occupation Lumberjack
Total Entries 7
Representative Big Red McLane
Lumberjacks are commonly used to represent strength, man’s dominance over nature, and the idea that axes are pretty cool. In fiction they tend to be badass, often to the point of “Testosterone Poisoning”. Either that, or to sell paper towels. Because people will expect a lumberjack to be manly, they are almost always men. They tend to dress like a stereotypical 19th century Paul Bunyan type with a flannel shirt, rugged outdoorsman look, some “Manly Facial Hair”, and large muscles developed from years of swinging an axe… Occasionally seen in a log-rolling contest. Often found roaming the forests of “Moose and Maple Syrup” land, and sometimes tangling with the Fearsome Critters of American Folklore. ~ Mighty Lumberjack – TV Tropes
