Characters currently in-game: N/A
CHARACTER
Character Name: Johann
Character Age: Unknown in canon, estimate probably human equivalent of mid-twenties to early thirties
Canon: The Adventure Zone
Canon Point: End of series.
History: Here
Personality: Johann is kind of an interesting case compared to most of the other characters in the series. While they're goofy and silly and way over the top there's him who's far more subdued and cynical about everything around him. In general he kind of comes off as more depressive and a downer than anything else, getting a little heated when someone does something or causes something that he's tried ages to do or achieve. Such as the connection Magnus has with the Voidfish the first time he shows up and Johann has been caring for the thing for quite a long time prior to then.
Though he isn't that all the time given he gives valuable advice from time to time, such as the warning to not go alone off the moonbase because then if you die down there then no one will remember you as you'll be made to be forgotten by the Voidfish. Which seems to be a big thing with him being forgotten due to his talents with composing music as well as being "the best violinist ever" never being something that can be connected to the world below. It seems to be one of Johann's bigger fears since he states to "not let them forget him" before he ends up dying to defend the base and the Voidfish properly from the Hunger's nonsense at the end of canon. Meaning he's a pretty loyal dude overall despite how he aloof he tends to come across to other characters.
He's also an extremely talented bard that seems to show more emotion through music than through anything he can actually say. He's the catalyst for Inspiration in the final battle against the Hunger to help rally everyone, even though this happens after he's passed. Mostly due to his song he fed to the Voidfish ages ago being played back by the creature once it's free and deciding to help. A song for the ages, if you will, one that will not be forgotten by anyone for any time to come.
Inventory: Just a normal violin and the clothes on his back.
Abilities: As far as non-magical abilities go, Johann has a fairly good acrobatics skill, mostly in regards to running and things of that nature. He's also "the best violinist ever" in canon and makes that his main instrument of choice for bardic nonsense.
Outside of that, his spells are as follows:
- Bardic Inspiration (more of a trait/ability than spell)
- Song of Rest (same deal as above)
- Cutting Words
- Light
- Mending
- Message
- Vicious Mockery
- Charm Person
- Comprehend Languages
- Detect Magic
- Blindness Deafness
- Calm Emotion
- Tongues
Flaws: Quite possibly the most depressing and cynical bard in the existence of ever. Johann isn't the normal type of bard one thinks of when they think of bards, he may dress all dandyish and in bright colors most of the time, but his personality is the direct opposite of that. Dark, dreary, and overall just not exactly bright on the future. When you're working for an organization that has to feed memories and works of art and things like that to a jellyfish creature that makes the whole world forget it? It's depressing. Especially if you're the one in charge of having to keep the creature fed by giving it pieces of sheet music to eat, thus it being a real bummer that no one will ever hear your art.
Cynical is a good descriptor for him as well as he always seems to doubt people and their intentions or just not care enough to be anything but blunt or snarky in turn to them. He'll get mad about something but it's for a split second before the realization that it just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of thing pushes down on him and brings him back to that place of what might be called utter depression of a sort.
Really, for as talented as he is, he took an easy route out. Like much of the Bureau it seems he had an option or choice in joining them. And, once you do, you're pretty much forgotten to the rest of the world which seems way more selfish in that context. Not that the actual reason for him joining the Bureau is ever made clear in canon.
