The Basics

Saxxon “Trouble” Violins is a tiefling bard known throughout Kirrion for his unusual style of music and passion for his fans and a good party. Though he had humble beginnings performing in bars to earn his keep and hanging around shady characters, once he met the love of his life Teagan Odell his life changed for the better. Anyone that met the pair knew their love for one another ran deeper than any other, and neither had ever felt joy like they did when they were together. They toured the world for Saxxon to perform, spent late nights writing music together, and started the College of Banshees for novice bards interested in pushing the boundaries of what is considered “music”. No matter the pleasures and troubles they faced, Saxxon knew he could rely on Teagan for anything - they were soulmates. Tragically, this powerful connection left Teagan a broken man when Saxxon died unexpectedly.

Recognizing his position as a mentor and idol to thousands of bards, the gods allowed Saxxon to ascend to godhood as the god of avant-garde music - or, as his followers are fond of saying, “shitty music”. As a god, Saxxon is able to visit Teagan in his dreams, though this practice is frowned upon by most of the other gods. Fortunately, Saxxon does not give a single heck about what the other gods think, and visits Teagan every night to apologize for leaving him and promise to make it up to him - in various ways. They are still hopelessly in love, though Saxxon’s disappearance mellowed them significantly and they are working on making their relationship much more healthy.

Backstory


EARLY LIFE


When Saxxon was born he was given a different name by his tiefling parents, but as he grew up and his parents’ expectations made living with them extremely toxic, he cut ties with them and began to travel. He gave himself his new name - an oronym of “sex and violence” - and devoted his life to music and an almost obsessive pursuit of fame.

For a long time he was directionless, traveling aimlessly with his loyal friend Ari4na, a gnome with a similar taste for cacophonous music. He sought fame in all the shady places in the world, gathering as many scars as melodies in his wandering before he settled in a bar in Dampdrop. The underground scene in the city was vibrant and exciting, and was eager to hear his unique sound. He gathered a harem of devoted fans - and had a lengthy tryst with the gruff bartender, Cyrus - but his life changed when a young noble elf began to frequent his shows.


TEAGAN ODELL


The elf, whom Saxxon quickly learned was the scion of the town’s noble family, immediately caught his attention - so pretty and so sweet, and looked at Saxxon like he was the only man in the world. It took months for him to finally gather the courage to approach the elf, and their first meeting… did not go exactly as planned. Saxxon learned his name, but felt guilty taking advantage of the clearly inexperienced elf and decided to do something he had never done before - date and get to know his lover before sleeping with them.

As they grew close, Saxxon began to question his perception of relationships, and though he still struggled with the memories of past lovers, being with Teagan helped the pain start to heal. With support from Cyrus and his new boyfriend Quinn, who assumed more of a fatherly role for Teagan and Saxxon, their relationship blossomed into something more intense and devoted than anything either of them had experienced before.


TOURING


Just as Teagan and Saxxon’s relationship became pleasantly supportive and stable, Saxxon discovered a legendary instrument that awakened the spark of his lust for fame again. Though Teagan was concerned about how the guitar’s influence was affecting Saxxon’s mind, he still followed him on his tours around the world, providing comfort and a level head when it seemed Saxxon’s obsession would overtake him. Saxxon became more famous than any bard before him, gathering hundreds of thousands of devoted fans and eager bards that wanted to be just like him. As time passed, though, it became painfully clear that the guitar’s poisonous influence was hurting Teagan, but Saxxon was already so deeply under its spell it was impossible for him to stop.


DEATH


In his final days, Saxxon gave one last tour and started the Bard College of Banshees to help future bards follow his style and encourage experimental music. Teagan was hopeful, thinking that Saxxon was finally returning to his old self, but his life was shattered when Ari4na and Saxxon left on a short trip, and only she returned.

At first Teagan was in denial, distraught as he retraced their steps and interrogated College students about Saxxon’s whereabouts for weeks. When a month had passed with no sign of Saxxon, he had to accept the truth - only death could keep his beloved tiefling away from him for so long.


GODHOOD


For many years Teagan stayed at the College, doing very little in his despondence but unwilling to leave the school that Saxxon built, even as the memories made Teagan’s heart ache. On a night like any other, Teagan went to bed after a day of listlessly wandering the College, and dreamed (as he often did) of Saxxon. This time, though, the Saxxon of his dreams claimed to be real, desperately trying to explain to a disheartened Teagan that he was granted a godhood. Saxxon had endured many years of purgatory, trapped inside the poisonous guitar he had once loved, but did not want to burden Teagan with that knowledge and simply told him he didn’t know why becoming a god had been delayed. Overjoyed, Teagan finally accepted that his Saxxon had returned to him after some minor misunderstandings in the world of the gods.

Wanting to be sure he could always protect Teagan even from his place in the Spirit World, Saxxon made Teagan his warlock and began to visit him every night in his dreams. This practice was strictly frowned upon by the other gods, but Saxxon did not give one single heck about what they thought. He was so happy to finally have Teagan back in his life that the first few weeks of Saxxon visiting in Teagan’s dreams involved little more than crying and snuggling.


NOW A DAYS


Presently, Saxxon and Teagan are more open with each other than ever before, laying bare their past traumas so they will never be hurt by each others’ secrets again. It’s a painful process often involving as many steps backward as forward, but they both recognize that the only way their relationship can grow is by being more honest. The pain they’d endured from misunderstandings in the past was not worth the temporary embarrassment from admitting a certain piece of their life. They are stronger and more in love than ever, but still have a long way to go.

Sadzhik

Saxxon met the charming Sadzhik on his travels to gather tunes, and learned a lot about himself and what his standards for relationships should be. For his life up until that point he did not really care how people treated him, but after a few months with Sadzhik he began to see that he was worth more than the awful way he had been treated. Saxxon wanted to be with the skydancer forever, and struggled for weeks when Sadzhik eventually left him to continue his travels, but knew deep down that staying secluded with Sadzhik instead of performing his music for an audience wasn't what was best for him. After living in Dampdrop and developing his relationship with Teagan, Sadzhik returned to find Saxxon happy and in a healthy relationship. They are still close friends, and Sadzhik is one of the first people Saxxon goes to for relationship advice.

Cyrus

When Saxxon first arrived in Dampdrop, he immediately fell in love with the stoic bartender that was happy to give him a stage to perform on and a warm bed at night. Cyrus was gruff but kind, and spent his days taking care of Saxxon in any way that he needed. As Saxxon gained his confidence on stage and gathered enough courage to approach Teagan, Cyrus ended their relationship so Saxxon could focus on his new partner. Cyrus was thrilled to see Saxxon happier than he had ever been, and assumed a more "fatherly" role for the two boys - keeping Saxxon sober and put-together enough to go on dates with Teagan.

Quinn

Saxxon met Quinn just after he began his relationship with Teagan. As a florist, Quinn gave Saxxon his bouquet for his first date with Teagan, but also gave him a lot of relationship advice. He is very even-tempered and sweet, offering reassurance whenever Saxxon started to doubt himself. He attended a few of Saxxon's shows at the bar and met Cyrus there, and the two almost immediately began a committed relationship. They were both tired of the world of casual relationships, and it didn't take long for them to fall in love. As Cyrus' partner, Quinn has assumed a fatherly role for Saxxon and Teagan as well, and spends his time making them healthy meals and keeping their clothes laundered. Domestic life is his calling.
