Vyolihn (name wip)

Vyolihn (or Lihn for short) is a musician in Regia. He makes his living travelling across the many towns and taverns of the continent, and only occasionally gets kicked out for drunkenness. What can he say? He likes his mead.   Lihn's instrument of choice is the gallak horn. This instrument is simply a hallowed-out gallak antler. Unlike the average horn, the gallak horn is capable of producing multiple different sounds, depending on how much air is blown through it, and what holes are covered. Due to the helix shape of the horn, there is a bit of a delay in changing notes to when the sound actually changes.   The horn also has a more magical property, that being the ability to levitate nearby objects. This does come at a cost of mana for the user, however.   But enough about the instrument. Lihn is more than just what he plays. Or, at least, he likes to think that. Due to his on-the-move requirement, he can never keep friends, lovers, or even acquaintances. This puts him into a fairly depressive state. At end of every gig, he stays at the tavern as a client, and pays most if not all of the money earned back to the bartender, in exchange for whatever alcohol can be whipped up.   The mornings afterward are full of hungover headaches, and random stumbling as he tries to piece himself back together.   Recently, however, he's been trying to make a change in himself. He's limited himself to only a few mugs a night, and he's also started travelling along with Robyn and Rei-Chei, but only at a distance. He's a bit shy about the whole thing, and he doesn't really know how to make friends.   Lihn's never been good at talking with people. He knows how to talk to people, but having in-depth conversation is something he simply can't do. This is largely due to his upbringing, or lack thereof. He was born to a whore, and he never knew his father. His mother died when he was three. He was picked up by a band of rowdy musicians, who were accustomed to a drink or two after gigs. It was with them Lihn learned to play the gallak horn. When he was fourteen, the band's lead and Lihn's father figure, Leo Mayne, died on stage. The band disbanded after that, leaving Lihn no place to go. Eventually, he decided to carry on Leo's mantel, and left down the road, following in his footsteps.   Following Lihn, however, is a small black cat. This cat has followed him for as long as he knows, and at this point Lihn has just come to accept it. In a rather ironic sense, Lihn has named the feline follower "Tragedy". The cat is the only person important to him that hasn't died. Tragedy is important only by process of elimination.
