Lander hasn't been feeling his heart of late however, it seems it's gotten lost, and he isn't sure if he can find it again, or if he'll even have a chance.
Appearance
Facial Features
Sharp but not rigid, strong but not masculine. Lander is a fairy of a man, with a glow in his eyes.
Identifying Characteristics
A jovial and carefree walk, Lander is often humming a ditty, perhaps a tune he heard from a busker or a melody for a song he is creating.
Mentality
Personal history
About a year ago, Lander and Lana left their cosy home in Stepaneven, flee from the nest and to travel and seek adventure. They came to the cosy town of Donegrin and stayed at the inn with the money they had made from performing. Lander soon got work with a local church called The Altar of Ceeyr. Lana fell in love with a man named Alistair and a few weeks ago got married to him at said Church.
"Lana, I'm curious, will you still travel the world with me? We have so many songs to write and ditties to strum. Perhaps it's selfish of me to ask..."
Education
Lander is experienced with the basics of reading and writing, but has never been particularly advanced in academic endeavors, he has always thought the best thing to learn was the lessons of life, whatever that means. Lander never went to a bardic college, instead he learned most his musical talents with his sister Lana, the years with his twin sister have always been musical, from the first time they picked up an instrument until now.
Employment
Lander is currently working with Ari as a wedding singer and church organist in a less than popular church, for his work Lander gets to live in the tiny back shed behind the property which he has renovated with some homey trinkets and furnishings.
Lander on his down time performs on the street and also works for coppers as a newbie lumberjack.
"I didn't think I could find a more perfect job! Sure we aren't exactly the most successful folk around, I mean the church just nearby pulls in three times as many people, and they don't even have a multi-talented church organ vocalist! Locals seem to be afraid of us, I think it has something to do with the blood stains under the carpet? Something dubious was happening here and no one wants to talk about it!"
Accomplishments & Achievements
Lander and Lana once performed together for a city festival, and can still recall the night air, starry sky and the song they played together, Lander reminds himself of that night often, he felt part of the world.
"Sister, you think the folk of Donegrin would like it if we put on a show? Perhaps we should write of the bacon, but from the pigs perspective!"
Mental Trauma
Seeing the slaughter of his village and destruction of home
Partaking in a hostile takeover of said town
Having to slowly chop through the neck of a horse he thought was a friend
Venturing through a town he once knew, taken over by a tyrant, then nearly witnessing a child be killed by his own party.
Known Languages
Common
Personality
Motivation
You wouldn't consider Lander "Unmotivated" but he certainly has no big goals for the world, a more pretentious Lander would say he makes music to bring the world together, but an honest one would say he just hopes his tunes turn a frown to a smile.
Fortunately, this is an honest Lander.
After the fall of Donegrin and the prophecy put upon him and his party, Lander isn't even sure what keeps him going. He rattles a line between the destruction of fate and gods, while debating whether to give up and embrace this fate.
Quotes & Catchphrases
"Keep your head up Ari! No need to be so nervous around people, you've got a good face and a gooder heart in you friend, don't forget this."
"To perform among the famous in Zama Regia... It sounds boring..."
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Inept at combat
Likes & Dislikes
"I just can't believe it! This world is unfair, how are our hearts allowed to endure such heartbreak? Can the gods truly be so heartless to part those in love? I knew this girl, lived down the road from my family home, her husband was murdered by highway men, she locked herself away for months... Innocents who live only to love should never suffer like this, I only hope that every couple we bring together won't be torn apart in such a way."
Lana and I have kind of adopted our stage name into our real names... I suppose we found it a little too magical being named after the moons, we didn't shine upon the land, our music did.

Contacts & Relations
Ari - Lander has become quite friendly with Ari, beyond working together, they share similar beliefs of togetherness. Lander would do a great deal to help Ari, and is often the voice when he feels too shy.
Of late, Lander has been a bit disconnected from Ari, he is left him many times, a random bird fellow named Krekr has been more help to Lander of late. The friendship he thought he had has left him in a state of confusion, does anyone even like him enough to help...?
Vey - If you were to ask Lander about Vey "Huh, don't really know the fellow, he hangs out in the Church and gives berries in return, I don't often talk to him, seems like a fine guy. I guess he is some kinda researcher? I wonder if he has a lover, I bet a could get him hooked up pretty quick with a lass round town."
Opinions of Vey have changed however, "A psycho race purists who can't keep his cool for a second, no matter how much it hurts the party. Ungrateful and inflated sense of self... This guy is supposed to help stop the dragon cult? To think fate has decided I'd be stuck with him... This is a sick joke..."
Himbus Jimbus - "Part time hero, part time fool. I don't know what's with this guy? He seems to stir up trouble for his own entertainment, it's like this whole situation is a joke to him, except when it's not!? Why even bother understanding... He is another wild card in the group that can explode at any time, he is as useful as he is useless, but despite all this, I suppose I trust him. Not many other choices, and pickings for companions seem slim..."
Honorary & Occupational Titles
reluctantly the "Hero of Donegrin"
Wealth & Financial state
Lander grew up fairly comfortably in Stepaneven. His parents were common traders and owned a general store in town, it was never a luxury but Lander considers himself to have had a very good life growing up. He has some friends from Childhood around the city in all wakes of life, whether rich or poor he got along fairly well with the other folk his age. Expect Lander to know the other middle class Merchants (and their daughters), along with other jesters and bards.
Family Ties
Lunis "Lana" Lancaster - twin sister. No one is more important to Lander than Lana, and vice versa, Lana is a little more stoic compared to Landers often dopey attitude towards life, but they share the love for freedom and just, like, totally hanging out dude.
"You're getting married Sis! Already! I can't believe it, it feels like a week ago we were skimming stones by the lake... Y-you'll still hang around with me won't you?"
Lander's parents have settled down happily and own a general goods store in Spepaneven. Larry and Lauren, ever so ambitious have found solace in a humble life, perhaps in another life they would of been starchasers, running in fields bathed in moonlight, hands together. Perhaps this is why their dear twins are named after the moons? Larry and Lauren are your laid back somewhat hippy parents.
Lander and Lana's uncle Cayne (Dad's side) also resides in Stepaneven as a bard of no renown, he is paid a fair some to write and produce music for less musically inclined bards, through his work he has produced many hits throughout Eustronda without any credit. He doesn't mind. Cayne taught Lana and Lander the beginnings of their music.
Social Aptitude
Lander always loves an opportunity to spin a tale, hyperbole is preferred, especially with tales of heroism or humor.
Lander is very down to earth and doesn't care for the fakeness of the music industry often seen in Zama Regia.
Expect someone socially confident and fun.
