Digibromm Stonesong

  1. This is a character that Mark Wilson is adapting into an NPC. We rolled randomly for the age.
  2. What is this character’s name? - Digibromm Stonesong
  3. What is their ancestry (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc)? - Dwarf
  4. What is your job or role (i.e. farmer, hierling/mercenary, shopowner, bandit, etc)? - Lyrical stylist/musical hip-hop bard, "Dwarfhop". Leader of a singing group called The Songsmiths, which is analogous to the Beastie Boys.
  5. How old are you? - Immortal, cursed by a fey creature. He has to rap battle a god (or demi-god) in order to break the curse.
  6. Describe your physical appearance. - Digibromm has a gray beard by this point in his life, but he works very hard to color his beard to hide his age and apply a copious amount of makeup; he also makes useage of a variety of costumes. He looks older and wizened, but he can still move around -- a fey creature cursed Digibromm somewhere in his adult life.
  7. Describe yourself with 3 adjectives. - Jovial, Knowlegeable, Trustworthy/Steadfast
  8. What is a valuable item/piece of lore/secret that this character possesses? Or do they value an ideal/concept or particular person (i.e. family member, guild member, honor, justice, love etc.) - The secret of his immortality, which keeps him constantly on the move so people don't catch on. Works to keep a youthful appearance, since music is a young man's game. He's been married multiple times and has outlived his wives; he's had a lot of children and grandchildren (some of which he's traveled with and have been in the band, expanding the influence of dwarfhop across the land). Based on his age and knowledge and making stories and music for centuries, he's a bard's bard. Proficient in a multitude of instruments.
  9. What is a particular quest you would be willing to recruit or hire the player characters to go do? - Find his two band members and reunite them with The Songsmiths since they are not talking to Digibromm. They are either currently in the same town or in a nearby town that is not far away. Triple T is in a classical phase, but if you challenge him to a rap battle, then you can help him remember and convince him to come back. Mickey fell in love and left the group, but this spouse seemed VERY antagonistic towards The Songsmiths -- it's a fey creature (or incubus/succubus) in disguise who wants to break-up the band to hinder Digibromm's success in breaking the curse; the party will need to confront Mickey and the spouse and reveal the subterfuge!
  10. What would be their reward for succeeding? - A generous sum of money and a hype song/theme song/anthem for your party. This song could potentially exist for several hundred/thousand years.
  11. What would be the consequence of failure or refusing the call? - If the players fail in trying to get the band members back, Digibromm will understand and appreciate that they attempted to get them back. If the party refuses, depending on how vindictive Digibromm is feeling, he will write the ultimate diss track that paints the party in a negative light, helping to spread rumors about the group. This song could potentially exsit for several hundred/thousand years, impacting any descendants of the PCs.
