II. Description

Physical:

Cantar has the dark skin of the drow, but silver hair with blue highlights. His eyes are VERY light blue, with silver lining around the edges. He has two tatoos on his body. One is on his scapula(back of his shoulder blade), it is of a golden rose(a holy symbol of his faith). The other is on his right shoulder itself (where the shoulder and bicep meet), It is of a full moon and a raven flying in middle of the moon towards the on-looker.

Psychological:

Cantar was raised on Evermeet and became a Minstrel for her Majesty the Queen. Because of this, he has many of the typical ideas of the people of Evermeet, including those against the drow. Cantar does not like spiders, he doesn't fear them, just thinks they are "icky".


III. Proficiencies:

Weapons:

Cantar's prefered weapon is a expandable silver bladed staff. He is also adept at various sword type weapons, including the short/ long/ and broad versions. Bow and arrow are natural to all elves, and Cantar can shoot them well, though they are not his favorite. LATER he will acquire a sonic sword or dagger.

Skills:

Other than the expected musical skills that are to be in every bard, Cantar is a cleric of Hanali Celenel. He also has a vast grasp of wizardry. However, all powers that Cantar commands is done so with the use of music. Cantar is also the barer of a special, sacred gift from Hanali herself. It is rumored that she blesses the union of those that are truely in love, especially if the union is unexpected. This is truest in Cantar's case. At his birth, Hanali bestowed upon Cantar a "kiss"(that is to say a special gift). It has just begun to manifest in the form of a rare ability known as SpellSong(this is different than the one used by the faithful of Elistrae).

Disadvantages:

All of Cantar's powers must be cast using music. Words are replaced with singing. Hand signals are replaced with the strumming of and instrument. This is a disadvantage because one can not always be able to sing and the like.


IV. History

Cantar is the result of an unlikely loving bond. When his mother was taken slave to the Underdark, Cantar's father fell in love with her, and she with him. Upon realizing that she was pregnant, Cantar's soon to be father knew that he had to aid his lady love to escape, for both she and her hybrid child would be sacraficed to Lloth. After escaping Evermeet, Cantar's mother bedded an elven noble of Evermeet, and Cantar was born.
Being a Minstrel, and having a certain amount of power, Cantar's mother disguised him as to look completely moon elven for she knew that her people would shun him, and her.
Cantar's musical inclination became aparent at a rather early age. Preperations were made immediately to have him train as a Minstrel, like his mother. Cantar went to, and graduated from, the most prestigious of Evermeet's barding/minstrel schools.
After his mother's death, Cantar was forced to flee Evermeet. Following his mother's killer to the main continent, Cantar found himself in Skullport. There he was "adopted" by Kelar Vandree and taught to survive in the Underdark. The psionic drow also taught Cantar the spoken, and silent languages of the dark elves.
Following his mother's killer yet again, Cantar found himself in Waterdeep. There he befriended the bard, Sovann. Soon after, Cantar joined the "Dragon's Voice" and has made a close friendship with its members...
