[@Polybius] I wanna make an Ophidian bard but I have no idea how to even start. Can I get a little more Ophidian info? It's hard to write a bio when I know so little about their culture. Like, what offends them? What do they eat? Are they the apex, or is there a predator above them? Why would an Ophidian actually be a bard?

These are the questions that plague me.

You actually don't need an extensive bio to begin. When in doubt, make it up. I like to just go with whatever players invent, helps me keep the writing and creating fresh. Why would an Ophidian actually be a bard? That is a great question. Maybe they have been persecuted by the Ophidian Empire, and have become a voice for change, writing songs of revolution (reptile woody guthrie anyone?) or maybe they are keepers of the histories of the empire, chronicling the great accomplishments. Maybe they were raised by a different race, and prefer those folk tales and stories to their own kind. I mean really, you could worm your way around it anyway you please, it's all a matter of what you want to do with the character. I was hoping I had given an adequate framework to build whatever concept you were looking for, but I hope I have answered your question or at least pointed you in the right direction.
