Well, I went a pretty different direction from what I pitched earlier. Still a rogue, but quite a silly one. I do admit I got a little carried away, but [url=https://image.ibb.co/dtuVJ0/image.png]it could have been worse.[/url] At least we've got a rogue, for now!

If I am to become a bard, I must know how to play an instrument, yes? Aside from that, I would also say I am well-read in the subjects of economics and mercantilism. Finding the worth and value in objects is quite compelling.[/color][/indent] [quote][b]What is in your inventory?[/b][/quote] [indent][color=yellowgreen]The most notable item that I keep with me is my ebony flute. It was my mother's, and whenever it is played, I feel as if she is with me. As an adventurer, I also carry a short sword as a means of protecting myself. Sure, it may appear a bit banged up, but I was able to fetch it at a good price! If not, I wouldn't also have been able to afford a standard adventurer's kit, as well.[/color][/indent] [quote][b]What are you like? What do people think of you?[/b][/quote] [indent][color=yellowgreen]I'm afraid that would be a tough question to answer. I'm not the one to pay attention to how people see me. Perhaps I should start trying though, since I'm a bard, yes? I do believe I'm easygoing, and I have never had an argument with someone that has extended to any harsh words, though I wouldn't count the times I had to deal with the occasional inebriated guest. Some say I'm quite humble, a statement I rightly disagree with. If anything, I enjoy finding ways to increase my wealth while reducing my workload. Some would call this behavior "cheap" or "lazy," while I would prefer the term "economic." Oh, you want to know how I feel about music? To be honest, I've never looked too much into the world of the arts aside from the things I've learned from my mother as well as from one of the many traveling musicians that come to my family's inn. That said, I believe what separates me from other bards- or in this case, would-be bards- is how linear my appreciation for music is. To tell you the truth, I've only chosen to pursue this path because I believe it would bring me close to my mother, in some way. She always believed that her own music was the sound of her soul, and I wish to experience that feeling, myself. Plus, being famous sounds like a very cost-efficient way to make a living, yes?[/color][/indent] [quote][b]What are your life experiences? How did you grow up?[/b][/quote] [indent][color=yellowgreen]I wouldn't say my life is particularly noteworthy. I was raised in a rather homely hamlet. My father was an innkeeper and my mother was a musician who played in this inn. Despite my humble beginnings, I was raised rather comfortably, considering that the inn itself kept itself rather busy since our home village was between two popular trading routes. I was also kept educated from the countless assortment of guests we've received from all around the world. When I was younger, I never really had a passion or drive for anything, though I was attached to my mother, her soothing melodies keeping me spellbound on otherwise restless nights. You could say it was quite a shock when she had abruptly left our lives, though... ... No, she didn't die, I don't believe. I was too young to remember the finer details, but I do recall her disappearing one night, having taken a pair of clothes and some of our inn's food with her. I found it quite odd for her to do, especially since she left her flute with me, as well. According to my father, they had a great relationship, so it was a shock to him when she had just gone up and left. In any case, the inn's business felt a lot slower without my mother around to play her music. Of course, geographically, we were still in a sound place for business, but our morale, and my father's motivation, specifically, began to plummet. Of course, when I reached my teens, I took a more active role in helping business stay afloat. It all started when I found a business ledger one of the merchants visiting our inn left in his room. I'm sure that many others in my age would find such a book filled with numbers quite boring, but I found myself compelled! I was rather amazed at how efficient this particular merchant was, and how he raised or cut the prices on certain products based on intricacies such as supply and demand. Perhaps at that point, I was also interested in how high the numbers were looking, as well. In any case, after doing a bit more reading into our own inn's finances as well as making some idle conversation with other traveling merchants here and there, I managed to pick up an eye for managing finances. During those last few years growing up, I helped my father with managing the inn's revenue and keeping the money flowing steadily. I'm sure if I stayed longer and had more years of experience under my belt, I could have expanded our family's business to greater lengths. If that were the case, why did I leave? Well, I still desired to find my mother, after all... and I do admit, the stories I've heard of the world beyond have brought great interest to me. You can find so much more business opportunities roaming the world, yes?[/color][/indent] [/hider]
