Name: Zwarr Metal

Species: Tiefling

Sex: Male

Role: Bard

Appearance: See image

Personality: Zwarr is a Very Ego-Driven personality who likes to show off and be praised by others, but can be serious when it matters most. Zwarr's life goals are to become famous and spread his unique musical stylings far and wide. But despite appearances, under it all Zwarr is a good person who will do the right thing despite his own ego.

Abilities: Zwarr is a fairly competent bard, capable of weaving magic through the strings of his Great Axe Guitar. He specializing in magics designed to 'buff' the strength of his allies and weaken his enemies with fear. Stealth is not his strong suit as he likes to be known, this often gets him into trouble. But he can often be quite charming, which gets him out... sometimes. When all else fails he's good at using his Great Axe Guitar for it's other function, a big freakin' axe to chop away at foes 'getting too close to the goods'

Background: Born in slums, Zwarr's early life was almost certainly going to end up being another thug. Until the day he literally the legendary centaur bard Malik Thunderhoof or as he was more widely known amongst Bards: 'The Duke' (Think the 'Elvis' of Bards.). The Young Tiefling ended up stealing The Duke's lyre and entered a chase with The Duke in pursuit, despite the skills of The Duke.. Zwarr managing to lose him temporally down an alley. While examining his prize, Zwarr decided to give it a test run. Unaware that the strings of the lyre were those specially crafted for a bard to cast spells, Zwarr's struming created a simple magical blast which struck and damaged a wall... but more importantly drew The Duke's attention. Malik was intially angry with the boy, but quickly realizing the boy had displayed a bard's skill changed his tune. He offered Zwarr a chance to hone his skills and find his own unique style, taking Zwarr and enrolling him in a Bard's College.

Years later, Zwarr graduated and hit the road right away, having come across his 'unique' sound while in school... much to the displeasure of his teachers. It was like The Duke's own style.. but louded, harder with more of a bite. It made Zwarr quite the 'Battle Bard' type as he seemed especially adapt at pumping up his allies and putting fear into his enemies. This was how the Legend of Zwarr began...

Looks good. I'll see about working your guy in once we finish this next scene.

I had the idea of perhaps the others hearing Zwarr's music in the distance approaching, but I'll leave it up to you the DM how best you think to intro the Bard.

Hey there! I saw that you were looking for three or four players, but I thought there was no harm in asking if you could do with one more? I haven't roleplayed in a bit and this seems fun! I do have a character concept in mind if so.

We have four already, so we'll see how that goes, before I add anymore. I will keep you in mind though.

Actually, I’m pretty sure neither of our characters are naked; Sholgra doesn’t wear underwear so she can just lift up her robe and Valira was just using her hands.

I always get a little worried when people disappear for several days like this.

It’s like: did something happen to temporarily inconvenience them, or have they lost interest and aren't coming back?

People still seemed to be having a good time. But, yeah, I am starting to get a little worried. It wouldn't be the first time that a game has just died.

Don't sweat it, pal! Life gets the better of all of us sometimes.

At least you remembered before a week had passed, because that's usually the death knell for these things.

I'm not sure what's become of Heroic, but if he doesn't chime in soon, we'll just have to continue on without him.

Well, it’s been a full week since HeroicSpirit last checked in. Tempting as it is to keep thinking “one more day,” we should probably just assume he won’t be back for a while.

TheIrishOtaku, since your character is the most intertwined with Sholgra, I think you should have the most say in this matter. How would you like to proceed from here?

Yeah I think its clear that Heroic Spirit is probably gonna be AFK for the foreseeable future so I agree that we should just continue on until (or if) they get back. As for what happened to Sholgra in that period, that's up to the dm as I don't personally feel comfortable deciding the fate of another persons character like that. I have ideas/suggestions if you'd wanna hear them but otherwise that's my position.

Suggestions are welcome. Otherwise, I was going to have Zira swing back around and pick her up, for you guys to save along with the princess.

That works better than what I was gonna suggest actually. It would give Valira even more of a reason to want to defeat the dragon, now she doesn't just have to help save the princess, but her friend and lover too.

Alright, if we don't hear back from Heroic by tomorrow, I'll continue the story, and maybe start looking for a replacement for him.

Alright, it looks like there is an opening for another player in the game. You guys tell anyone you know who might be interested.

That being the case, I'd say go ahead and post your prospective character. Unless you'd prefer to wait for Ecnalab's approval first.

Oh cool! I just wanted to make sure. I'll get started on them right now.
Hey, I was trying to get ahold of you, but it doesn't look like you have the option to start private messages.
As far as dark elves go, I was actually planning to have the party encounter some as bad guys. Basically, a society of dominatrixes that measure their status by the size of their personal harem. But, there can certainly be exceptions, so go nuts, and let me know what you cook up.
