Thread:Talk:Kotchtormund/High Concept for Kotchtormund/reply (3)

He's an itinerant musician and community dis/organizer, originally from Portlandia as a child (hey, what a coincidence).

I'm taking the DW description of a chaotic bard's alignment and running with it: he likes to get people deeply involved in whatever's before them, though he's every bit as much in favor of really mindful calm (especially in an environment of tension) as he is of a worthwhile fight. So that's "upsetter of applecarts." (This, obviously, is a two-edged sword.)

As for "mesmerizing musician," that's how he does what he does. His bardic magic (or is it just a good sense for the psychological effects of music?) inspires people to push their capabilities just a bit further and find mental clarity -- or the reverse, when he chooses. He isn't always a leader, but he can't go long in a community without being widely known. This can sometimes limit his options somewhat, especially with regard to law enforcement.

...getting there?
