Description

Another resident of the Adventurer's Guild in Post-Modern Fantasy, here's Forte!


Forte grew up in the Falenn Capital, adopted when she was still just an egg. Being one of very few non-Falenn in the Capital made life rather difficult for her, having to face her fair share of discrimination and bullying from a young age, all the way into her adult-hood. She had a natural passion and talent for music (a common trait for those with the Sonic element), longing to become an idol, and share her music with as many people as possible. The Falenn Capital would have been the ideal place to follow that dream, as they have the resources and industry to make that dream possible, however, competition was stiff, and it was very difficult for non-Falenn to make it in the musical industry there. She set herself apart though, writing and performing songs about her struggles growing up, and donning outfits of dark colours to contrast to usual bright colours worn by the Falenn. This seemingly rebellious act against the "status-quo" of the Capital seemed to work in her favour, bringing her quite a substantial audience. However, eventually the Falenn government began cracking down on her music, recognizing her songs as a threat to their leadership, and a means to stir up trouble. Like a certain "Angelic Idol" a few years prior, Forte soon found herself the talk about town with completely fabricated rumours and speculation. Citizens of the capital began protesting and boycotting her music. Death threats were sent to her and her family, with some going so far as the physically try and attack her. Recognizing the danger, she fled the capital, heading far south-west until she wound up in Coshelle, and the at the steps of the Adventurer's Guild. The Guild took her in, and let her sing her songs for their patrons. Her outspoken, and confrontational nature still lands her in some hot water though, plus the shit in the Capital still manages to find its way down to her from time-to-time, so they assigned Quake to babysit her, and make sure Forte stays out of trouble.


And now, some stuff about Sonic Drakes!

Sonic Drakes are one of the rarest types of Drakes (with only Lightning Drakes being rarer, because there seemingly aren't any left). All Sonic Drakes completely lack horns, instead having a pair of ear-like appendages on the tops of their heads. This extra pair of ears are extremely sensitive to vibrations and sound, allowing Sonic Drakes greatly increased hearing abilities, capable of hearing even the softest of whispers from several meters away, through the walls. Despite this, loud sounds don't bother them that much, and some even prefer them, as a means to drown out the other sounds around them.


Sonic Drakes have very short fluffy tails, being the only species of Drake with fur rather than feathers. Their wings are smaller than other Drakes as well, and it's believed that even when they were Dragons, these wings were too small to be used for flight. It's also not uncommon for Sonic Drakes to completely lack wings. They tend to have very few scales, which only cover they wings, hands, and feet. Very rarely do these scales appear anywhere else on their bodies.
