He uses magick in his performances, allowing him to summon his instruments to his side whenever needed. He generally sticks with a mandolin and violin as his two main choices. Personally, I use youtube to play melodies for people to enjoy if they so wish.
My experience in regards to singing is a bit more diminished. What he does sing are more poems, rhymes, and limericks. He favors instrument only melodies while also doing magical acts and stunts. Sorry that I can't really help in that regard. Yet, I am sure that other bards and performers can fill in that regard.
Best of luck with your own character. Lovely to see another pick up an instrument rather then a weapon!

- I write my own songs for her. Those are the character themselves has written.
- If I use a song written by someone else (from youtube, etc), I also do not claim credit ICly. My character might say something like "I learned this tune from a bard in Limsa Lominsa" or some other explanation as to where they got it from. I'll also OOCly link to the actual song + provide proper credit.
- Finally, one of the things I love is to share songs with other bard type characters. Play something you heard someone else play at an event, but of course ask permission to use it first and make sure to give proper credit!
Thank you both. I will definitely take these on board. ^^
