Personality :

If you were to look up the phrase, "Go with the flow," you would surely find Adelo as one of the prime examples. He is a man with a very relaxed attitude, so much so that he hardly ever reacts negatively. He greets even the worst of times with a smile, and a confident resolve that things will get better. Although, some may say that he is too relaxed. He often falls asleep if unattended to, and tends to not take things too seriously. Although this relaxed attitude may come across as uncaring, he has a big heart and wishes to help those around him to the best of his ability.

History :

Osdela, a hidden village of prestigious mages, was once home to Adelo and his mother before they fled together. Although he asked, his mother would never provide him with a reason for why they left their village, but she always seemed to have a tinge of sadness when speaking of it. The two of them settled in a small human village, where magic was seen as a monstrous act and was punishable by death. They lived a simple life, and suppressed their magical ability as much as possible. Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before someone discovered their abilities. Adelo's mother was taken and executed as a witch, and this sparked a rage in young Adelo that could not be contained. By the time Adelo realized what he had done, the entire village and all of it's inhabitants had been wiped out as if it had never existed. Horrified at his actions, he ran away and vowed never to use his magic till he was able to control it. Adelo was a homless nomad until he was taken in by the leader of a Bard's College. There he learned to control his magic through song, and discovered a new form of offensive magic that no bard had ever attempted before. He learned to translate spells into music and use it in ways no one had ever seen. After a tearful graduation, he set off on a journey to see the world. His hopes were that on his travels he would be able to return to Osdela and discover the truth behind he and his mother's departure from their home village, but what he found was the darkness that lurked in the world. Disturbed by the wrong doings he witness, he performed for the people of the villages and cities he visited in order to raise their spirits, but it never seemed to be enough. After hearing rumors that the Galdin Adventurer's Guild was accepting new applicants, an interesting opportunity came to Adelo's mind. If he were to join such a prestigious guild, he would be able to actively aid in the bettering of their world, and he would be given the chance to travel to Osdela to retrieve the answers he so desired... Thus, he packed his bags and set off to Galdin in order to fulfill his dreams and bring hope to the people of the world.

Skills :

Adelo is able to cast a variety of offensive elemental magics through song. He is able to convert spells from books into magical musical pieces. He is currently able to perform the basics, and as such they do a average amount of damage. If he is able to discover an enemies elemental weakness, the spells can become more effective. These include: >Crimson Ballad (An explosion of fire that hits enemies within a certain area, chance of inflicting burns) >Blue Rhapsody (Blasts of water that are capable of hitting multiple enemies at once) >Emerald Aria (Concentrated gust of wind that is capable of hitting and knocking back a single enemy) >Sepia Fanfare (Broken chunks of Earth that hit a single enemy multiple times) He has also picked up songs that grant increases on the skills used by his allies and can grant them buffs for a short time. These skills currently include: >Bravura (Raises physical and magical defense of an ally) >Bellicoso (Raises the effectiveness of an ally's skill) Adelo had rigged his mandolin to double as an ax if needed. A blade flips out from the back, allowing him to combat enemies that get too close. Adelo's biggest weakness is a problem common with magic users; his casting time. Although he is able to cast his spells effectively from a distance, if an enemy were to get close enough while he was casting, he would be open to their attack. *His hobby is to put on shows using his magic as special effects
