IC INFORMATION CHARACTER NAME: Jaskier CANON: The Witcher SIGN: The Sun FACTION: Free Cities
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Jaskier is a medieval blue-blooded bard who went from zero to Hero by making his career off singing about the monster hunting adventures of one Geralt of Rivia. He is now a bird kind of guy who studies plant- and animal-based magic because he once lived with a bunch of druids and was a big fan of them. He holds great esteem for artists of any sorts, and is one half of the duo who head the Arts Restoration Committee, who work to restore and preserve the art of the Free Cities. Their recent project completed at the end of May was a five-day festival celebrating the art, artist, sciences, and theatre of the Cities, which was very successful. In January, they also completed construction of the Willow Memorial Park in Libertas, a memorial created to remember those who were lost in the destruction of Libertas by the Queen of Thorne. Alucard and Jaskier maintain an office for their Arts Restoration projects, but most they just bicker about how to decorate it.
He is extremely well-known in the Free Cities and has been given a title by the people: "Gem of the Phoenix." It is highly likely he will let every single person he meets know this, and is now usually decorated in some sort of phoenix merch.
Jaskier is also a flirt and a scholar. He is in a committed relationship with Nadine but is always open to flirting and bedding anyone who catches his eye (read: everyone.) Their relationship is open, and tales of Jaskier's sexual prowess (and vigor) can likely be heard from any of the brothels in the cities, as well as locals who may follow his performances through the taverns of Cadens, Libertas, and Aquila.
CR YOU WANT: Any! Jaskier is deeply involved in the politics of the Free Cities and tries to play them in his own way by pushing back against the emphasis on military strength by instead focusing on art, specifically anti-war sentiments. He is not against using his position and influence (and money) to aid those who share sentiments, or to fund science/engineering/whathaveyou to better the lives of those least fortunate.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: Not anything I can think of, besides negative CR for the sake of being negative. I'm not against anything that happens naturally, though! Jaskier can be prickly about certain things and easily offended if his personal tastes are insulted.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
- Helping and introing newbies. Jaskier is well-known in the Free Cities between his musical performances, concerts, work on the Cadens Old Public Hall, the art walk in Libertas, the Old Public Hall festival in May, and Willow Memorial Park, and he can be used for networking purposes. He also has some small, lingering influence in Thorne (where he performed music during festivals) and Solvunn (in which he wrote a love letter ballad to one of their hot goat gods.)
- He runs a successful plant shop in Cadens, which is an easy place to catch him at! He is happy to supply people with their own plants to start beautifying this ugly desert.
- Jaskier has also begun trying to "invest" in new Summoned by offering to help pay for their lodgings and food as they settle into life in Abraxas. He does not expect anything back from this, he's simply TOO successful.
- Musical friends! He currently only plays music with NPCs, but would love some Summoned to perform with. Jaskier is also currently tutoring Mat from Thorne on being a bard, and is always willing to take on more pupils with sincere interest in the arts. He has recently gotten a REAL ACTUAL RECORDING of himself from Viktor and is working on purchasing/setting up public gramophones to play the recordings.
- More friends! Jaskier is pretty easy to get along with and is a social butterfly. He can drag you out to social functions and will be rather insistent on it.
- Political intrigue! Jaskier has gotten a good hold of transforming into a sandpiper (yes, the literal bird) and will begin using it to eavesdrop around Cadens. Other than that, he stays on top of most political happenings and is slowly leaning towards his hot girl summer Spy Arc.
- New romantic interests. To put it in Shakespearean terms: "That man's a slut." It is canon he would also fuck himself. (Thanks, shapeshifters.)
- Due to recent things in the previous cult plot that Jaskier learned, he's suspecting that the "old gods" are actually old Summoned. Jaskier has some thoughts of grandeur, and so begins his new hot girl summer God arc, where Jaskier is going to start thinking about directly communicating with the gods (specifically for now, Vimorskas and Lyfbringr.)
- Jaskier recently adopted a lost chocobo that followed him home and has made it his beloved mount. He also has a pet (mini)gryphon, and is generally obsessed with all creatures because they're cute, even when they're not. Especially dragons.
