Blaine Lohk

For an Illuskan, Blaine is unusually short. For someone desperate enough to take his chances with Mythrite, Blaine is quite green. Borne in Daggerford, Blaine's original jobs consisted of farm-work. Despite this, he didn't have much physical strength. He would never last while doing farm-work, and could only earn his family so little coin. Each sweltering day tired him to the bone, with few results to come of it. Every once in a while, Blaine would take to the streets and attract to the town's performers in its busier parts. His interests in music kept him going, even without an instrument. Eventually, he'd make his way to Mythrite, desperate enough for money and recognition that he decided his best bet was a boom town.
What Blaine lacked in strength, he made up for in dexterity and intelligence. His skill with a lyre is unlike any other, and he's able to learn other instruments quite quickly. He's been officially taught in lyre and lute, but despite his lyre skill, he prefers the lute. As of recently in Mythrite, he's also becoming capable of playing piano. Honing his skill on such a unique instrument, he's managed to move his way up in recognition around the town. Without the brute strength to force through situations, he carefully thinks and pushes through mentally. He greatly dislikes physical confrontations, but he carries a finely sharpened knife with him at all times, and he's skilled enough at sharpening with a simple whetstone.
He can often be found practicing in the Quivering Quaver, or performing in taverns such as Trysee's Place. Lately, his popularity has allowed him to play privately in Charlemaine's Hill, getting him up on his feet to pay off his debts and no longer have to struggle from day-to-day for coin.

History

When Blaine arrived at Mythrite, he realized the reality of life behind his walls in Daggerford. The vicious, cut-throat boom town would eat him alive if he didn't act with care. Initially, his nerves bounced everywhere he walked. Eventually, he met Ginka, and those nerves calmed. Ginka's kindness and naivety kept him sane. The two of them would become best friends, with Ginka often dancing along to Blaine, strumming his Lyre from his soul.

History

Blaine's first encountered Barim at the Quivering Quaver. Barim walked into the instrument storage room and nonchalantly began playing and messing with some of the instruments while bored of his current job as Town Guard. It's no question to anyone who sees them that the two don't get along.
"Stop doing that, you'll break it!" Blaine shouted.
While continuing without a care, Barim managed to snap all of the strings off of the lyre he had been entertaining himself with. After cursing as his hand bled from the snapped strings, his temper caused him to smash the lyre into the ground.
"What the HELL is wrong with you?!"
Blaine tried to push him away in a fury. With the little physical strength he had, he only succeeded in making himself angrier, and showing Barim the difference in their physical capabilities.
"You couldn't fight a 12-year old, let alone a monster with how weak are you. What's a pipsqueak like you doin' in Mythrite?"
Blaine pulled his knife.
"LEAVE, and do your job PROPERLY!"
Barim left, unable to stand the weakling that stood before him. Ever since then, Blaine made every attempt to avoid confrontation with such a careless brute who could disrespect the very surroundings of where he went.
