Dreamingfurther said:Well while we are on the matter of Dark Elves what do people think of a Dark Elf bard? I mean I get the sense that people expect all Dark Elves to be brooding and sort of emo and disconnected with everyone but is it somehow bad RP to have a Dark Elf that while holding those of his/her own race as the most important is willing to have a laugh and sing for a tavern?

Saephis said:Its likely that there are Dark Elven bards. However, the nature of the songs to most would still be considered "off flavor" for most/all other races and would likely not gain a good following, due to the likely-detached nature of said music. And, if the songs are based off their own history, its not likely to last long before said bard finds themself wondering why things got dark all of a sudden and they woke in a circle, if at all.

I have met one! And he is in good standing as a bard in Wayside. But I don't think "Molly Malone" is that sad of a song!

I've seen it; and when done "correctly" it can be not only moving, but completely in character. A few years ago one of the Ryujima members (I'm tempted to say it was Beca, but I think it was before she first played her DE) entered one of Hannah's singing competitions and sang a very skilled opera piece (in another language to boot). None of us actually understood it (afaik), but the artistry was evident to just about everyone.

She would have been singing in German, most likely, if it was Rebecca.
