[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 2330352, member: 4550"] [center][i]Character Updated June 21[/i][/center] [b]Kenneth O’Drinnan[/b] Neutral Good Male Gnome Bard Kenneth’s intellect and influence is beyond compare. He can recite the properties of any variety of plant, the historical ramifications of any king’s reign, the origins of any spell and the exact arrangement of the numerous planes of existence. He will kiss the hand of the princess, convince the guard to allow him access, discover the secret cache of an infamous thief, woo any woman and become the envy of all men. Or, at least, that is what he would have you believe. Granted, Kenneth has a keen mind and can be quite charming when he wants to be. There have been several times where his insight has revealed to us the only escape route, or his words have inspired us with courage. He sees himself, though, as something so much greater. He is not destined for greatness, for he is [i]already[/i] a hero among heroes. His name already recorded in immortal song. He believes he knows far more than he actually does. He thinks people listen to him far more than they actually do. Somehow, he is never fazed, and will simply claim, “Of course, that is what I said in the first place!” or, “My, she must be quite preoccupied.” We groan and sigh with exasperation, pleading for him to stop when he begins to offer uninvited advice, holding him back when he attempts to parlay with the ogre. Yet we would never have gotten as far as we did in one piece if it had not been for that one well-timed quip when we found ourselves in dark times, that single bit of trivia that brought the unanswerable riddle into sudden, stark focus. Those are not the times he remembers, inconsequential and insignificant as they are to the great epic adventures of our party and of his life. But they are, and always will be, significant to us.
