Dandelion

Tiefling / Bard

Submitted character story

You are the hero who runs toward danger now because you ran from it once. When you chose the quiet strategy against the Iron Matron, you proved that freezing taught you to think, not just to flee. The night you abandoned your partner to Lady Nightengale's guards carved out everything soft in you and left only the need to make it right for everyone else. You give help from behind disguises because showing your face means admitting what you are, and some truths are harder than any blade Malcom Graves might carry. At the table, you are the bard who bleeds for strangers and keeps his own wounds hidden, the one who makes redemption look like performance art until no one can tell the difference.

Defining moment: Dandelion would never share his shame willingly, but the memory that set him on the course today is the betrayal of his mentor. The scheme he plotted against the infamous crime lord, Lady Nightengale, and how he and his partner Malcom Graves would rob one of her fronts blind. 

Malcom told him it was a bad idea, but Dandelion did not listen. They tried anyways and it went well until it ultimately did not. The unexpected guard patrol, his mentor and partner caught in a brawl. Dandelion froze and then ran. He left his partner behind and never looked back.

Now he watches over his shoulder as he has heard that Malcom is after him.

A former conman on the run from his partner who he left at a scheme gone wrong. He now lives under his alias Dandelion and offers anonymous help to the downtrodden in various disguises.
