[b]Personality:[/b]
Ingoleth is a cunning person in all its meaning. He knows his way to humans hearts and minds equally, and puts even greater effort to it when he wants something from them, often grooming them for long periods of time to get on their good side. He is unpredictable, often times pulling tricks up his sleeve that nobody would expect him to even have. More than that, he is very keen on details, especially so when it has to do with his goals. Hes a performer after all, he has the eye for attention to detail.

[b]Bio:[/b]
Taking it upon himself to learn all he can about the world he roams the lands, looking to collect useful information and also looking for opportunities to influence the world. He loves creating havoc and drawing attention to his "deeds". Over the centuries he has made a name for himself as a performer and made it his preferred way to get some juicy mana, however that doesnt stop him from making other types of spectacles, as to not keep repeating the same thing, rendering it dull.

He loves making life interesting, in his own way. One day it'll be a performance, another, an empty threat towards an entire city out of the blue. He is a sucker for inspiring both fear and chaos, as well as bliss and happiness in people's hearts, then tasting it for himself. Bringing out extreme emotion from people is his true art.

Being a well known bard, he is often invited to perform in royal parties, getting paid incredibly well for it. His talent is music, however he does love adding some flair to his performances with his illusions, making for a dramatic and truly outstanding performer. Performing in the streets isnt something he usually does, but its not an impossibility for him either.

He has his own companion, a fox spirit named Dixie (or Dix), that approached him, seeing potential in his chaos a century ago, and improving his trickery and havoc, giving him ideas for tricks Dix would never be able to do alone, and in return staying with him making sure her fun never ends.

[b]Abilities:[/b]
[b]Bardic Mana Reaping:[/b] Ingoleth is able to feed on another's mana, no matter the range, as long as his actions have impacted the person's mind and/or heart. The stronger the feeling induced by his spectacles and/or performances, the more mana he is able to consume the moment said feeling emerges.
[b]Eye Candy:[/b] Ingoleth creates visual illusions of all shapes and sizes. The bigger and more complex the illusion is, the more mana is used. The illusions are very realistic, making for great distractions and effects, as well as hiding what he doesnt want you to see. More than that, the illusions can move. An illusion is made with a condition in mind, disappearing after its is met or Ingoleth wills it to.
[b]Ghost Sounds:[/b] Ingoleth selects a location to "broadcast" sound from. He can create any sound he wants, real or imaginative, including complex sounds like intelligent speech. More than that, he can control the volume of the sound, making the illusion sound like its farther or closer than it actually is. Additionally, he can create an illusion audible to a single creature, targeting their eardrum directly, with an increased mana cost.
[b]Cunning Tune:[/b] By playing his harp and infusing it with mana, he can create the following effects depending on which notes he uses:
- Induce sleep: by playing slow and calming notes, he can induce either drowsiness or sleep, depending on how far he goes with it.
- Induce hyperactivity: by playing fast and high notes, he can induce hyperactivity and restlessness.
- Induce emotion: by altering how he plays, he can induce any emotion. for example, a calming song with a few high notes inbetween would cause irritation and anger.
- Neutralize effect: by playing a very specific tune that is a minute long, he neutralizes any magical effects, enchantments or curses, on any non-sentient inanimate objects.
[b]Flute Requirem:[/b] By infusing his flute with mana, he is able to create a cone-shaped sound wave of 130 decibels (equivalent of a jet engine taking off), loud enough for anyone in the conical area to collapse from the ear pain. Also creates a harmless air wave. The farther someone or something is, the less effective. Its a killer move which consumes half of his max mana.


[b]Extra notes and Trivia:[/b] 
- His favorite color is green.
- His disguise is a bard, but he is genuinely interested in it, its not just a cover. He has extensive knowledge on music, dancing, and singing, and even a little on art, but he is only proficient with music, being average in the other two, with art being his worst bardic skill, which is okay for a wanted poster but still not good enough to hang on his own wall. That however doesnt stop him from using his illusions as a way to seem better than he is, whenever it is necessary.
- He doesnt care what race or gender you are, you'll be treated the same.
- He likes making up names that have meanings.
- Over the centuries he has changed bardic personas, being in his third one currently, with his previous two being "Harpman Everfed", meaning "the man with a harp is never hungry", and "Sevag buttreck" meaning "Savage, but required".
- His current bardic persona name, "Salman Beriedfolk", means "Salman has burried folks", referencing his previous 2 dead personas.
- He changes his bardic personas every time he feels like changing his performance name and outfit.
- Flute requirem is a tribute to his first bardic persona death, who was a master flute player.
- He gets a new ring for every previous bardic persona. The gemstones are the color of each persona's eyes.
- He has a house of his own, built around about 150 years ago in Portea with his first bardic persona's earnings, only to stage his death shortly after and rig his will's challenge as a means to decide who would win the house through a puzzle only he could make sense of, successfully "earning" his own house as Ingoleth instead of "Harpman Everfed".
