Raelyn, Drow Bard

Background

Raelyn's talent for music was apparent at an early age, much to the consternation of his parents. Despite repeated beatings from both, Raelyn continued to teach himself songs on the sly, playing whatever impromptu instruments he could get his hands on. When it became clear that his musical talents had a hint of arcane power behind them, his parents became somewhat more tolerant of him, though still uncomfortable. They would have preferred their son be drawn to more martial pursuits. Even tailoring would have been more respectable from their perspective.

Raelyn decided to join a mercenary company, not so much to please his parents as to spite them. Raelyn knows he can do just about anything he sets his mind to, and he alone is the master of his own destiny. He has already learned a thing or two from watching more seasoned warriors in action, and is keen to learn more. Much more.

Raelyn's favorite instrument is the flute. A talented mimic, he can imitate almost any speech pattern on his flute with uncanny accuracy. He has a bad habit of playing his flute or singing whenever he is in the presence of someone who bores him.
