Arlow Glowwind
Prince Arlow Glowwind (a.k.a. Arlie, Low)
Arlow, at his most basic description, is a disaster bard. It's not that he's bad at what he does, he's actually quite good at it, he just doesn't have any of the charisma to back it up. He's a young man with his head perpetually in the clouds, his only focus to tell the stories of other bards and perpetuate their legacies.
He may not be smart or brave, but his cheerful, easy-going demeanor tends to put others at ease. Arlow's always got a story to tell, whether the ear is willing or not. His favorite, of course, is the story of his first performance in an abandoned theatre for an elusive red tiefling with whom he has yet to reunite. If you ask him, he'd give a goofy grin and call the other his first love.
Still, as the crown prince of Glusorial, Arlow is aware that these days of fun and pleasure cannot last forever. Someday he will have to return to the tedious tasks and duties that come with being the heir to the throne. But until that day comes, Arlow is content to spend his days skirting the Gilded Guard and passing his time among the common folk, telling his stories and searching for his true love.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
He looks like a walking coin with all of his metal tones (copper hair, bronze toned skin, and golden eyes). He also has a smattering of freckles across his cheeks, making him look even younger than he already does.
Special abilities
Very good at sneaking out of the Armathian Tower and hiding from the Gilded Guard.
Skilled at talking about bards.
Apparel & Accessories
Arlow tends to dress in silks and linens, but in a manner that makes him look a much lower status than the prince he is. Generally the colors tend to be shades of purple and blues; rich, regal colors.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Arlow presents himself as a male elf, although he has some more feminine moments. He's very carefree and doesn't worry about things like gender. He is who he is, and that's all that matters to him.
Sexuality
Arlow is a very proud pansexual. Not that he's had that many sexual exploits, but he is always open to more love in the world.
Education
As the crown prince of Glusorial, Arlow grew up with education through many tutors. He is well-versed in many different subjects. Now if only he could remember what he learned.....
Employment
Despite being the crown prince, Arlow is more likely to be found performing in bars, taverns, and theatres than attending to his more regal duties. He doesn't perform for the money, he has plenty of that. Rather, he performs for the pure joy of performing.
Accomplishments & Achievements
If you asked him, Arlow would say that his greatest accomplishment is becoming a bard. Ever since he first heard the stories of his idols Boone and Scalan Shorthalt, he knew this was what he wanted to do with his life.
Coming in at a close second, Arlow's next greatest achievement in his life was finding who he believes to be his true love. It was only a brief, chance meeting, but the elvish boy found himself completely enamoured by the red tiefling and would do anything to find him again.
Failures & Embarrassments
For Arlow, his greatest failure would be getting caught sneaking out to the Purple Serenity one night to practice his bardic skills. While this in itself wasn't too horrible, it led to his discovery of his tiefling's disappearance from the theatre rafters. Being a pampered young prince, it was his first big heartbreak.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
His dream goal growing up was to meet his idol, the bard Boone who inspired him to become a bard himself. Since then, he has picked up another goal in life of finding the red tiefling who stole his heart.
Social
Contacts & Relations
His best friend and confidant is his servant, a tabaxi cleric named Ameria.
