Where in the realm of Gothic do I need to aim my dart? Serious grotesquery, or more cartoonish macabre? I can do anything, I just want to end up in your expectation zone.

Any particular culture analogues I should be following? We seem to be aiming European style stuff, but if you’re drawing from a particular reference it’s cool to know.

Are you cool with me portraying a bard style character, silly jokes aside? The intention is to be someone who long ago earned his Undeath by pleasing the queen with song and ending up a formal ‘court musician’ of musical secrets. A fanatic philosopher of passions sort of fellow. If you’re not vibing with the idea I can stew a different idea.
