Half-Elf Bard
CE
SEEN
King Barkuuloxx the Broken, Entertainer to the Stars and Concert of
Queen Underpants
Is either mad, or affects to be mad, and deals with various people in
various different ways.
He will regard some people as 'friends' and dubs them 'Subjects of King Barkuuloxx'.
These people he will never play tricks on, or do harm to in any way. In fact,
he will insist that they take all his possession and all of his gold.
Others he will regard as 'enemies' or 'potential enemies'. These he terms
'wooblers' and 'woozubs' respectively. He will play tricks, steal from and
even kill wooblers, but will treat woozubs with deep mistrust.
He has a large wardrobe of cheap clothes. Each day he will dress as a
different character class, even a bard sometimes. But it could be wizard
or fighter. He will affect the mannerisms and style of that class,
but in a very stereotypical way. However, if he is in any trouble or needs
to help out a 'loyal subject' he will revert back to behaving like a bard
as self-preservation kicks in.
In all other regards he behaves as if he is the exiled king of some far off land.
If anyone tries to pin down the location or even the name of this kingdom he will
make up some elaborate story on the spot.
He may elect to speak with a lisp, or he may not. He will always refer to the
other PCs as his 'loyal subjects' and give them different post - 'royal advisor'
'holder of the kings chamberpot' etc although he will not insist on them carrying
out any duties.
He will rarely answer a question with the truth, unless he is speaking
to a 'loyal subject'.
He has a picture of a harpsichord tattooed on his chest. If asked why he
will make up a lie.
Random outbursts are common.
He likes to write down cryptic things on bits of paper and hand them to people
with knowing winks.
He has a pen and papers for this purpose.
He likes to cast 'spells' from 'scrolls' (bit of paper with gibberish written on).
When nothing happens he will nod knowingly as if something did.
He likes to talk in various different FONTS and vary between lowercase and UPPERCASE.
He thinks that all chickens are evil necromancers in disguise and will treat
them with deep mistrust.
He thinks that all rabbits are eagles that can't fly and that anything flying in
the sky is looking for the oppertunity to 'go toilet' on him. He carries an umbrella
and whenever there is a bird over head he will open it up and shelter under it.
He carries a set of dice, which he will occassionaly roll and declare to anyone around,
'Aha! A natural twenty!'
He can whistle really really loudly with just his lips.
He has a webbed left food, between his big toe and the one next to it.
NOT SEEN
He is actually from Balder's Gate and has the Educated Feat.
In truth he was a court jester, but will never tell anyone this - poor Barky's gone mad again - MAD!
He was once a very good stage performer, actor and comedian, but he slept with someone he shouldn't
have and went on the run. His mind is not necessarily unhinged, it is just that his 'act' is the only
way he knows how to interact with the world. It could just be he is mad though, who knows? Wibble.
Not of Human/Elf decent, but from a mix of other Half Elves that lived in a commune deep in some forest
ages ago. His father was a very powerful druid but Barky has not seen him since he was young.
His mother was a ninja and tried to train him as a ninja but he wasn't interested and as a result doesn't
like ninja's as they remind him of his mother, who was a ninja.
His brother was a baker, his sister was a butcher. They work together in the same shop back at Balder's
Gate. His older brother is a minor courtier, but is also a member of a secret necromantic sect.
His cousin once put on a belt of gender changing and Barky had sex with her. He was rather worried that
he enjoyed it.
He once had a pet bear, but it died of Bear Flu.
