musicians
Species: Human (usually)
Class: Bard
Habitat: Stages, alleys, basements, and dive bars
Disposition: Unpredictable; ranges from melancholic to feral
The musician is a curious and charismatic creature, can sometimes be volatile, often found howling beneath stage lights or brooding over strings and wires. Known to conjure rhythm from chaos, they wield instruments like weapons—plucking, striking, or screaming through them to summon soundscapes that stir the hearts and souls of crowds.
Though not inherently dangerous, musicians are to be approached with caution. Many are nocturnal, fueled by caffeine, nicotine, heartbreak, or sheer madness. Prolonged exposure may lead to obsession, sudden dancing, emotional outbursts, or radical shifts in worldview.
Do not mistake them for mere entertainers. Musicians are conjurers of memory and noise, and their shriek can echo long after the show ends.
