I have no explanation for this I was just possessed by the spirit of my fashion design degree for a few hours

I made my first bard- Viryo Moonveil, goth swamp banjo rockstar!! I'm playing him in a game called "Afterward" that cuts back and forth between two time periods- 10 years in the past when our party first vanquished a formidable foe and the present day where we explore who we have become since or victory and whether or not the adventure is truly over for us... Viryo started as a walock with an undead patron, forced to scribe Death's claims over mortal lives and help their spirits pass over. At first, he was terrified of the spirits that would manifest at the foot of his bed or over his shoulder (very Sixth Sense), but time revealed most of these spirits to be nothing more than lost...and mostly friendly. Soon enough, it was easier to talk to the dead than the living and Viryo became happy to help them pass on. His relationship to those beyond the veil became a lot more symbiotic.

Eventually, Viryo began to tell the stories of the dead through song after learning to play the banjo from a fellow party member. Ten years later, he's turned all his trauma into an entertainment empire as one of the most famed bards across the land. He regales the stories of the many ghosts that haunt him- stories of their lives, their deaths, and his own triumphs and failures as an adventurer. But, with time, with fame, and with money, his melodic tales have become quite tall. Viryo embellishes and outright lies in his lyrical descriptions of events to "give the people what they want" and entertain rather than giving an honest account of the lives of those who have passed- or even his own adventures. It's helped him climb the ladders towards success, but it's isolated him from his party and his former patron- Death. Putting storytelling above truth has compromised his relationship with Death, which will be further tested by his party members reaching out again for the first time in a decade with the alarming claim that their enemy is not as defeated as previously believed. (Which is really gonna clash with the rollout of his new theme-park endeavor.)

So, Viryo's gonna have to find some adventure-appropriate shoes and abandon his diva lifestyle to become the hero he used to be and help his friends save the world- again!

i really like my idea with basketball star!baku having the upper hand with agent!baekjin. i didn't get to post too much about it yesterday since headache and i had to do a bunch of chores. but anyways━ baku having most of the control of the relationship, even if its only transactional (also because all those years baekjin was gone, he used to study intensely, to honor baekjin's memory). so when he is given baekjin's contract to have as an agent, he already knows how to read the fine-print. and baekjin isn't exactly in a position to out-himself as a former gang member either, so he has to follow along what baku is suggesting. the dynamics of this, tho? omg. baekjin's boss also really want this deal to get through. and baekjin is the current company favorite. its a small and up-and-coming company as well (baekjin chose it on purpose to blend into the countless faces, but his beauty always gave him attention, even if he did not intend it). everyone else in the company are like HUGE baku fans too (its been various rumors what has been going on behind the court, some which do intrigue baekjin's interest greatly. he just pretends to not care). so baekjin gets the massive task of fixing baku's image. which has been heading straight for disaster ever since a certain scandal. imagine the drama of this??
