#ormand

This is Promenade. They're hard of hearing, and were supposed to become a Paladin like Ormand, but misheard their parents before they left home, hense their Bard talents.

(They insisted he "Learn the ways of violence." Whoch he heard as "Learn the ways of violin." And... well...)

Genuinely tho, he can't hear people all that well, and he can't focus when there's too much noise, so he'll tend to completely miss full swathes of conversation. Quests? Maybe he'll do them. Insults? He's assuming it's a compliment.

He likes playing in busy places, if only because people will quiet down to hear their music and so it's calming. Helps them focus.
