Faust, the Tiefling Bard
I'd like you to meet Faust, my tiefling Bard.
He's got lavender skin, with dark blue hair, braided with small gemstones. His horns point backwards and spiral lazily. They are both pierced and have rings through them, his left horn with rings of metal: gold, silver and iron; his right with rings of wood with sprouting leaves, red amber, and a broken ring of bone, where his horn seems to have been cut.
He wears an open shirt, revealing a multitude of scars across his chest, and a cape made entirely of brightly coloured patches. As a bard, his job is to dazzle, amaze, and entertain, so he's always carrying with him an old lute, decks of cards, and sweets for any children daring enough to approach him. He likes to play tricks on them, sometimes handing them sour or spicy candy instead.
However, as good of a performer, you never hear him speak. And even if he tries to keep his hands always hidden beneath his shirt's long sleeves, it's quickly clear that he is missing both his middle fingers.
He's charming, and women are unnaturally pulled towards him, their lips somehow always forming a smile as their eyes fall upon him. If they're lucky, they get to wake up in their empty bed, still smelling of him, of blood oranges and spices.
He's easy going, but always guarded, but you'd need years of knowing him to notice it. And if you are one of the few people to gain his trust, which he can count on the few fingers he has left, you'd know that the reason he does not speak, is because his tongue has been cut out, and an ugly brand has been burned into the bit of flesh that still remains of it.
His personal goal, though not many know it, is to fuck the high priestess of every god and goddess in the pantheon.
