Lance Dancealot

Bard Heinrich Lenz (a.k.a. Lance Dancealot)

Lance Dancealot, being his bard name, is a tall human man with a go-getter attitude and passion for music and dance. Despite his rather pear-shaped physique, he has great acrobatic skills as much as dancing and singing. His lute is shaped as a light axe if he ever finds himself in combat, which he prefers not to be, but he makes a quick and nimble fighter. His favorite hobby is flirting with the ladies and bedding them if it comes to it. Although he prefers humans and humanlooking females, he won‘t say no if anyone non-human would ask him out for a date.
