Flynran
Flynran Fernwater
Flynran was a Halfling bard and player character in a couple sessions of the
Smugglers of magic
Campaign. He was played by Storm
His brother’s involvement in the bullying, but primarily his lack of action when it came to standing up for Flyn got him disowned by his family and he had to go away from town, never to be seen again. Flyn himself meanwhile grew up a little more until he was old enough himself to leave, as he detested this place because of the guilt he felt over the death of one of the bullies.
His travels got him to Bersail, where he took to living on the streets for a while and earning a bit of money by playing his Flute and making a bit of a show of it. This got the attention of the local acting troupe, who’s leader Kiersten took him in and showed him the art of acting. He got to be quite proficient in acting and played in many plays together with the troupe. He really enjoyed his time here and found a new family in this troupe.
This all came crashing down however when one day a few of his closest friends in the troupe didn’t show up at The folly mask, including Kiersten. With a bad feeling in the back of his head he went to Kiersten’s place finding her home had wrecked by what seemed to be invaders. Signs of a fight were clearly visible and his heart sank. As far as Flyn knew she was nothing but a kind old lady who loved acting and music, who would go after her? He quickly went to check on the houses of the other people missing that day and saw they wrecked also. One of his closest friends in the troupe was still laying in his home, arms slashed to the bone as he was clearly unarmed laying there, lifeless. Confused and sad he walked out and asked a bystander what was going on, and the bystander told him that witch hunters had made their rounds here and arrested a couple of people all over this part of town.
This confused Flyn a lot, why would the witch hunters come for his friends, for Kiersten? They had nothing heretical going on, had they? After going back to Kiersten’s place to look for answers he was approached by Rhiannon who told him that Kiersten had been arrested for helping people and that a lot of people would now be at risk of meeting the same fate if he didn’t help keep the operation running. Overwhelmed and in no position to make much meaningful decisions Flyn agreed and learned about the operation that’s hiding and safeguarding people from the Holy cleansing, and Flyn thought he might finally get his chance to do something about the evils in this world. You can read about Flynran's involvement in the Smugglers of magic campaign here. During this campaign he joned the Smugglers of Magic, but did not get along well with the brutal methods the rest of the group started using, which resulted in him undermining the orginization and going behind their back to save people from the human trafficking the group engaged in. Around the end of the campaign after he had messed enough up by standards of other Smugglers of Magic leaders, Flynran was captured. He was not killed, instead Jade sent him with one of the human trafficking operations as a slave. Flynran was smuggled north to Miovik. Where he was sold as a slave and ended up in an unknown lords service.
3 of flynran's favourite things are:
He wears a large dark Blue coat with a hood, though this is only really for when it is raining outside, under this he most commonly wears a fluffy white blouse, sometimes a dark blue vest in the same colour as the coat and some well maintained and good looking dark brown breeches paired with a nice pair of tall black boots.
The main skill as a bard that Flynran excels at is words. As an actor or in general as a diplomat Flynran knows how to talk. He can decieve or convince like none other if he puts his mind to it. The magic of words
As a bard his talent and artistic intent with words has blossomed out into magic. His words hold power, allowing him to manipulate the minds of others, read into them or even create illusions. Musical talent
While the specific trade Flynran is best at is words, he is no shabby musician either. Flynran is a skilled musician with the flute, horn and lute.
Story
When Flyn was young he had a humble upbringing. When he saw someone getting bullied however he decided it was his duty defend the person, but this only turned the attention of the bullies to him who started physically assaulting him. His brother, who was part of the group bullying didn’t join in, but didn’t interfere either, out of shame. When the guards came to break up the fight they were way too heavy handed and one of the bullies ended up dead, to Flyn’s horror.His brother’s involvement in the bullying, but primarily his lack of action when it came to standing up for Flyn got him disowned by his family and he had to go away from town, never to be seen again.

Character
Flynran is a bit of a doormat, often putting the needs of others in front of his own. Truly what you'd consider a nice person, he always wants to help other people and seek to improve people's lives. Flynran is deathly afraid of conflict, something that stops him from often being the help he wants to people or standing up to wrongdoings in the world.3 of flynran's favourite things are:
- Acting
- Birds
- Some nice meat like bacon or sausage
Appearance
Flynran is a rather thin halfling, unusually thin for someone like him yet he still has the commonly found soft features in his bone structure. A friendly round looking face with large dark green eyes which can convince you of anything they say. A small nose and relatively small pointed ears complement his face while his hair is rather long, up to just below the shoulders and has a light curl to it which makes it look flowy/wavy.He wears a large dark Blue coat with a hood, though this is only really for when it is raining outside, under this he most commonly wears a fluffy white blouse, sometimes a dark blue vest in the same colour as the coat and some well maintained and good looking dark brown breeches paired with a nice pair of tall black boots.
