Character Biography for Quinn: The Lyrical Bard

Background

Quinn is a traveling Bard, poet and singer. After 5 minutes with him, you are smiling and comfortable, listening intently to his latest ballad of adventure and romance. When he sings, maidens swoon and men are moved to manly tears.

As with any great teller of tales, Quinn enjoys the drink. Sadly, this occasionally causes a forgotten lyric or three. In these situations, Quinn relies on his natural charm, tossing out random words or asking the audience for suggestions, often with amusing results.

With his surplus of wit and talent, it was only a matter of time before Quinn rose to fame, receiving an exclusive performance contract in a high-class Kingdom far away. It was there that he fell in love and became engaged. Just as it seemed that all his dreams were coming true, tragedy struck. While he was on tour performing for his fans, the Gloom engulfed the Kingdom, shrouding his home and his fiancée in its depths.

Quinn’s attempts to rescue his love have, so far, proved unsuccessful. Now he travels the lands, skirting the Gloom and Beasties, spreading news and information – anything he can do to aid the fight against the Dark One and eventually reunite withhis beloved.
