Character Basics
Character Name Stefen Series/Canon The Last Herald Mage Trilogy
AU/PG/Canon Point Near the end of Magic's Price Cottage Glass House
Canon Details Stefen's from a world where magic horses sometimes choose psychic boys and girls and force them into politics. Stefen, however, is NOT a psychic boy— at least, not any more. He can use Bardic emotion-sharing and is really good at music, is the lifebonded of god's most pathetic wet cat of a war hero, and is definitely nothing else at all. (This is a lie, and I am going to be given Stefen memories back from his past life interspersed, so watch out for flying spoilers. They're really easy to get used if you want them, though, since they're 35 year old books.)
Character Details
Age 19 Pronouns He/Him
Physical Stature "Delicate" Hair/Eyes auburn/hazel
Notable Traits "Looks like a demented angel" and "has the most stubborn chin (Vanyel) has ever seen."
15 Second Summary Stefen is a Master Bard despite his young age, and if playing or singing, it is not only gorgeous but includes the Bardic Gift—essentially a form of projective empathy; he can make you feel things or gain impulses due to his music. Born and raised on the streets, Stef has lived the last nine years of his life in the Bardic college on the Palace grounds, where he got a reputation for sleeping around with boys; this (and his incredibly strong talent) earned him the ire of his fellow students. His roommate Medren introduced Stef to his incredibly beautiful, tragic, and lonely Uncle Vanyel. Stef fell instantly in love.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities MAKES you feel things when he plays music, and also has the ability to block pain while playing music.
Permissions Just tough base if it gets either too intimate or too violent so we can figure out what we're both comfy with.
Sensing He has a magical bond between himself and Vanyel that IS visible to people who know how to look. This is his second life, and the person he was reincarnated from is still around somewhere in his soul.

Name: Lyric // Stefen
Age: 18
Team: Tiger's Eye

Height/Build: Slim/shortish/wiry muscles.
Appearance: He has high cheekbones, deep hazel eyes, the "most stubborn chin Vanyel has ever seen", wavy dark auburn hair, and looks "like a demented angel."
Notable Traits: He probably has callused fingers from constant intense music playing. He has the voice of an angel when singing (Once he gets that skills back).

Other: Lifebonded to Vanyel? People who can sense superpowers and magics and stuff can pick up he has the Bardic Gift (along with a Wild Talent) inherent with him though both are currently blocked due to being unearned skills so they'd read as "in potential" rn.

Memories

* Playing for the king, failing to drunkenly seduce Vanyel. Getting family-zoned instead. Waking up in Vanyel's bed, getting promoted to full bard status. (40-45, 73-80) [Starter]
* Continual attempts to seduce Vanyel. Please play Yakkity Sax while assigning this memory, in my honor. (80-93) [4]
* Jisa and Treven got married, Stefen accompanies Van on his trip home to Forst Reach. (110-123, 128) [2]
* FINALLY ROMANTIC SUCCESS good job Stefen good work Stefen we're proud Stefen (131-143) [6]

* The trip north. Finally reaching a guard station. Attacked by bandits; Stef runs. (258-282) (***)
* Saving Yfandes. Rescuing Van. Wow this whole scene is gross why is there way more detail put into the rape scene than the consensual sex scenes? Long handwaved recovery time in random deus ex machina magical beast cave system. (294-295, 297-315) (***)

* Ugh do I need to put a Storm Breaking memory in here? I mean probably technically? He doesn't have a single speaking line in it, idk man. HELPS OUT A THING THEN EXPLODES TO DRINK PINA COLADAS IN THE HAVENS (Storm Breaking, 387-389, 445, 448-449, 452-453, mention on 459)
