Sylvester Dewinday

Small and slender

A halfling's small stature combined with a human's confident air

Sharp, yet childish features

Upturned nose, perfect hair, and eternally cocky expression

Blond hair, stands about a head taller than most of his relatives

Bardic music, bardic knowledge

Often dons a sleeveless double-breasted tailcoat over a poet shirt and trousers.

Born of a halfling father and a human mother, Sylvester was raised mostly among halflings. He discovered his proficiency with singing at young age, and at 15 moved to Pisai to study music, eventually becoming the local opera house's countertenor (although for some reason he often winds up in the children's chorus as well).

Classically trained countertenor

6 years as a professional countertenor at the Pisai Opera House

He's played several major roles, but one of his favorite memories was when the Emperor was passing through town, decided to see a show (in which Syl was the lead, of course), and liked it so much that the following night, he delayed his trip to bring his wife to see it!

Once, he was nearly fired for not being off-book on time-- took a lot of razzle dazzle to get out of that one (and the Stage Manager still doesn't trust him)

Quick-witted and knowledgeable, but lacking in true wisdom.

As long as it benefits him in some way, he's all for it--this applies to following (or disregarding) societal customs, choosing whether to act or stand aside, and even being kind to others.

If you so much as THINK ABOUT the Gnomish Tragedy in his presence, you've yee'd your last haw

Wealth, attention, praise, etc

Charming and well-spoken, and sings in a stunning countertenor, but tends to be arrogant and immature.

Likes: Music, attention, money, feelings of power

Dislikes: Responsibilities, bad hair days, being referred to as "little guy" or anything similar

Skilled with words, generally affable

Arrogant, attention seeking

Oddly enough, he consistently screams at an exact E5.

He likes everything spit-spot-- after all, a clean face is much more attractive than a dirty one.

Numerous family members on his father's side live in his hometown of Ludweindorf-- though not particularly famous or important, the Dewindays are 34 strong and counting.

On good terms with most of Pisai's entertainment industry-- excepting, of course, the Pisai Opera House's Stage Manager

Sienna Wendell-Dewinday (mother)- a Human

Alton Dewinday (father)- a Halfling

Respects Yondalla and Hathor, but isn't terribly religious

Very high. Years of show business have taught him that the real performance is in climbing the social ladder.

Has the condescending air of one who belongs to higher society... whether this is justified remains to be seen.

Occasionally breaks into song

Speaks in an even, cultured tone, but his voice gets much higher when nervous.

Lives about as comfortably as an artist can
