--------------------
1. Bliznap is a short and stout gnome with a staunch seriousness behind his dark eyes. He wears a leather tunic which is colored to match his intimidating personality. Black eyes, and long black hair tied into a ponytail to match. He sports a sophisticated clean cut van-dyck style facial hair compliment. He favors a crossbow, but carries a dagger just in case he needs a weapon in a pinch. Preferring not to carry more than he has to, he opts to only carry what one needs for the path that lies ahead. His violin, some trail rations, and the clothes on his back.
2. Hailed from Borca, always wanted to Visit the school in Kartakass, but when he applied he was denied entry.

3. His love is his violin. He does not need to play for anyone else, but more to ease his own mind.

4. Not starting to play at a younger age.

5. Once, in order to perform in a famous music hall, Bliznap caused harm to another fellow musician for a slot (this was not physical harm but it caused the other musician to be unable to attend).

6. Losing the ability to play his instrument.

7. Music that has the ability to move entire audiences.

8. Tries to play whenever possible, it might not be the best time and could even be construed as dangerous. Not playing feels like it would be more detrimental to his health than actually playing in most situations.

9. Admires many other musicians more than himself, but will never admit that they are superior.

10. Rational

11. Sophisticated

12. Shelyn

13. The quest for Fame as one of the, if not the, greatest musicians the world has ever known. Of course he also wants to shove his success in the noses of those who tried to keep him down.
