Mesmeric Musician
Reverie is an extremely dramatic vampiric Bard who landed on The Hole of Suffering after being turned into a vampire. She went from hiding her personality as to not bother anyone, to being the loudest in the room. The idea of eternal life has destroyed her inhibitions and she no longer cares what others think of her, she just wants to live the life of luxury she was promised by the vampire who turned her. She's fighting the cosmic horrors that plague the land in hopes that she'll be able to build herself the perfect home and live out the rest of the universe's lifespan writing music and living deliciously.
As a musician Reverie is extremely talented: trained as a classical musician from a young age, she's a confident composer and loves playing piano and violin. While she's able to adjust to any instrument she's not a huge fan of electronics and prefers strings. She make's an exception for the Sonar Cannon, though, because she adores the Viscount and feels terrible for disturbing him.
Notable Events
- Her party members insisted she help them take on a boss they'd recently fought, and when the Viscount appeared Reverie was so smitten she refused to attack him. After he was defeated she learned that the other vampires got their ability to transform into bats from him, which made her feel less bad about absolutely trashing him. She was very excited to turn into a bat.
- Reverie's first Bard weapon was found by the other party members, who found a flute while exploring. Immediately knowing her role in the group, Reverie took it.
Backstory
In life Reverie was quiet, reserved and did her best to stay out of the way. She worked as a freelance cartographer and travelled the world with explorers, charting the lands they visited. She didn't really enjoy the job, but it paid well and helped her with her true passion: music. She was obsessed with classical music and learned how to compose at a young age, but could never afford to buy any instruments. The money she earned making maps went into her instrument funds, and eventually she was able to buy herself a simple violin. It never left her side and she would spend nights on ship decks playing to the ocean. One night her playing attracted the attention of a solitary vampire, who happened to be flying by while she was playing. They asked if she wanted to live out the rest of her days playing for society's most elite, surrounded by luxury. Seeing it as her chance to finally live out her dreams, Reverie accepted, not fully knowing what she was getting into. She was turned into a vampire on the spot, and the one who turned her intended for her to entertain their house with her incredible music.
Reverie's reaction to being turned was immediate melancholy. She was taken to a vampiric mansion on a nearby island where she was expected to perform. Still dazed and confused, she spent some time recovering on the roof under the full moon. Once inside, she performed one song for the vampires who were generally impressed with her skills and commended the one who turned her for finding such good entertainment. Shocked at this idea, she demanded to know what they meant and was told that she was to perform on demand. Rightfully upset, she spent the next hundred years waxing poetic about missing her mortal life and how eternal life had destroyed her artistic passion. Her days were spent dramatically lounging, occasionally moving from one couch to another for a change of scenery. She was such a nuisance the other vampires started conspiring to get rid of her, but ended up fleeing when the lands were invaded by monsters from beyond the stars. Reverie didn't notice until the mansion was hit by a falling star and completely enveloped by the Astral Infection. She was so angry about her century-long soliloquy being interupted that she picked up her violin and started hunting whatever destroyed her new "home". On her travels she came across other adventurers, some that'd travelled across the oceans and others that ended up on the island through mysterious means. The island was dubbed 'The Hole of Suffering', and the fight to reclaim it from celestial beasts began.
