Well, I won't cheat and use the console. No playing through BG1 with a Barbarian.
I am thinking Halfling as well, although I am sorely tempted by a Gnome.
But, how does one role play a Barbarian raised in Candlekeep, a library?
Easy. Gorion raises you, has you trained as a mighty warrior, and teaches you to focus the fires of rage within, to harness them for good purposes. Much like a Paladin or a Ranger, your weapon skills suffer, but, you become the thinking Barbarian, well versed in lore, tactics, a Barbarian that spends more time meditating and focusing his inner fury then practicing with weapons. A kinder, gentler Barbarian, one who does good things, but, has a NASTY murderous temper when provoked. Instead of learning about armor, you spent more time studying ancient battles and strategy. So while figuring out the complicated straps and buckles of plate mail, you would rather wear a simple chain mail vest. In simple terms, you become like Attilla the Hun or Ghengis Khan, seemingly wild savages who held a brilliant mind under their helmet. Men who chose to be barbaric, but would have been at home in any metropolitan library.
You know, a Halfling named Stennulf Toe-Lopper sounds cool...
