I don't know if I'll be drawing every day, but I am taking part in the Pride Month Prompts! Happy ptide!

First and foremost, Julian's race would be a tiefling - chaotic-leaning and preferred by theatre kids and the gays, that might be the best choice for him. Look into their bloodlines, although I'm personally not the biggest fan of most of them - the most fitting for Julian would probably the bloodline of Dispater for the sake of a Disguise Self spell (a nod to Majulian) or a Winged variant tiefling if you want to go for something closer the Reversed Ending aesthetics.

Now, Julian is a Bard/Rogue Multiclass - that means you'll need to make sure his Charisma and Dexterity stats are both at least a score of 13. It's because he needs to be charming enough to bard, and sneaky enough to rogue.

Rogue (lvl 2): It allows Julian to be quite a slippery eel, especially with the Cunning Action. Additionally, since Julian knows his way around black markets and dodgy alleyways, the Thieves' Cant feature fits perfectly. Building yourself a Julian rogue, consider giving him expertise/proficiency in Acrobatics, Deception, Persuasion and/or Stealth, as they are all fitting to his character.

Bard (lvl 1): Being a theatre kid on the side, Julian gets plenty of benefits from this class. First of all, his instrument - I chose a vielle, since he can canonically play it. One level is just fine for Julian to know a little bit of spellcasting, despite not being that much into magic himself - Cure Wounds (and Healing Word, if you wish) is a MUST. You also have a chance to get yourself a Disguise Self spell (like I said before as a nod to The Majulian), and since Julian is canonically fluent many languages, you can also consider giving him a Comprehend Languages spell. Since this class gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing skill proficiencies, it's a perfect moment to give Dr 69 proficiency at Medicine - another "must have" for this character. Performance or History can also be good choices for him.

When it comes to Julian's background, I have a few propositions - it depends on your own preferences.

Sailor (due to his in-game backstory and dreams of becoming a pirate)

Entertainer (since he is a theatre kid)

Anthropologist (he has travelled the world, learnt about cultures, languages, history etc)

Haunted One (by the mystery of Lucio's murder; the Plague; the Hanged Man... this is my personal favourite)

That's it for now; the rest is up to you and the rulebook!

Next character coming soon, let me know if you are interested in this format of a character build or if you want something to change - I'm mostly doing this for myself, but just in case, my asks are open :-)
