Bard Irma Pave

Lord Irma Pave:

  Irma Pave is a wandering bard going from tavern to tavern looking to get free drinks and food for the entertainment and songs he provides. He mostly sings about old legends and myths that most people already have forgotten. He tells the stories about the old heroes from ages past and the 10 year blood-moon war after a few drinks. His instrument of choice is a violin that clearly has been used for years.  

Physical appearance:

  He looks like he is in his late 30's, early 40's. He has somewhat pointed ears, sharp blue eyes and somewhat longer teeth almost looking like fangs, scruffy black hair with some grey hairs in between. His beard looks as if it hasn't been groomed in a few months and he smells a lot. He keeps a locket with him at all times but no one knows what it looks like. Whenever he has the chance he drinks and gambles but then has to move because of the debt or problems he builds up in the area. He is currently being searched for in at least 5 cities on the continent of Dradias.   He knows a lot of the more shady stuff going around and can easily find out information rather quickly, for a price of course. He has the ability to know when someone is lying or hiding secrets. This makes him extremely useful for his friend Dirk, who keeps him out of trouble whenever he visits Cigis, capital of Mahgar.  

Recent History:

  How he met Dirk was purely coincidentally. At first he was being investigated by Dirk because of missing people and deaths in Cigis. Apparently people saw him with two of the females that went missing shortly after. After finding out that Dirk was looking for him he made a deal, that he would help him find the culprit in exchange for keeping his secret and freedom. This was 20 years ago now. Now he travels and tries to find information to help Dirk and his agency with informations on mysteries and investigations where his talents could be useful.

History

Irma Pave was under investigation right after Dirk started working on his new job with the agency. Dirk had concluded that Irma was the culprit of the kidnapping of several female victims. After a confrontation Irma pleaded to make a deal with Dirk in exchange for his life. Dirk, being the newbie he was, wasn't sure of this first but changed his mind after Irma helped him find the real culprit and helping him catch him. After that Dirk had Irma do a few investigations in several outlined cities where the agency couldn't go.   Dirk knows Irma's deep secret for years now and decided that he would help him if the agency would find out. They are depending on each other even though Dirk would never show it outwardly.

Relationship Reasoning

Irma helps Dirk with his investigations and Dirk helps Irma out whenever he is in trouble again.

I'd put the "Basic Info" into the side bar or disable the sidebar. :)

Oh thanks, I'll look into that. Im fairly new into all this. Thanks for the feedback!

Good start but I think you can make the formatting a bit better. Like Tillerz said put some stuff in the sidebar or adding some more headers to divide the text :)

Feel free to check my new world Terra Occidentalis if you want to see what I am up to!

Thanks! I'll look into it, I kinda wrote this quickly for fun on the side.

The slightly scruffy bard that no one suspects is a bit of a spy, nice!

As a quick fun article you did a great job. A picture from heroforge or artbreeder in the sidebar would go a long way towards rounding out the article.

Feel free to stop by some of my WorldEmber articles if you want. My favorites are The Book of the Unquiet Dead, Outpost of the Moons, and The Emerald Hills. Feedback is always appreciated.

Are those services free? I dont have the money to pay for art at the moment sadly. I was thinking of asking a friend though.

Feb 6, 2022 22:43

heroforge will let you take a screenshot. it only costs money if you want to buy the mini you make. the pictures on my and kefkejaco's bards are heroforge, mine was using the free screenshot feature. artbreeder i think is more time intensive to get what you want but is also free. Here is the blog WA wrote a while back with a bunch of free portrait resources. https://blog.worldanvil.com/2020/11/19/5-best-character-portraits-resources/

He reminds me of a werewolf, but I don't know... :D What is his secret?   Irma's backstory was neatly described, and I could follow him around enough to learn what kind of person he usually is. What could help the narrative would be some tooltips and @mention links to places, people and events. As someone who dives into this setting for the first time, I feel a bit lost. The scene is relatively generic, so no harm is done, but adding information would increase the immersion.   Formatting-wise, the basic info could use break lines [ br ] and the sidebar could be filled to remove the empty space, but apart from that everything looks neat.   Thanks for a good read!

Thank you for the feedback! I'm still working on this in my free time but i got kinda busy the past few weeks.   I know its kinda generic because i have a vague idea of what I want to do and where I want to go with this character. Just need the time to actually work it out.

Interesting character. Is his secret that he knows when people are lying or is it something that he is well known?
