Personality and Appearance: (Dimitri the Resonant, assumed form)
Dimitri is the jovial and friendly sort, in addition to being a classically trained performer. He loves acting and reciting poetry, particularly that of traditional Epics and adventures. He will spend many a night in a common room regaling the patrons with tales of daring-do and noble heroics. If a troupe of actors comes to town and has room for another, he will happily join for a time. His ability to apply disguises make him a valuable asset to any production, and his ability to bluff readily contributes to his acting parts. A little tumbling and balance work never hurt in an on-stage sword-fight (or a real one for that matter).
[The form Dimitri is based off of the original bard that Dirthxanous saw killed in a dungeon at a young age. The name and a few features have been changed. The bard was originally a Human named Declan, but the gear/personality and skills remain the same even if the race (Half-Elven) and name have changed.]
Personality and Background: Dirthxanous
Dirthxanous is the quiet sort. He (although dopplegangers are truly sexless) never cared much for the caves of his home, and has always harbored a deep fascination with humanoid kind. Stories of might and valor drew him to observe these beings, and he always wanted to belong to their world. Eventually, when his innate shapeshifting abilities emerged, he began to set foot into their world.
He had followed a party of adventurers for a long time, obsessing over the bard. The man was so care-free, so skilled, and cut quite the noble and romantic figure. Dirthxanous followed him, studying his every word and gesture, belaboring the minutia and memorizing the poetry and skill. The accents and characters of the Bard’s affectations struck a resonance with his own changeable nature, and soon he began to search for an opportunity to approach him alone.
Eventually he got his chance. The bard was off in search of some legendary thing while the remainder of the party rested. Tragically, neither the true Declan nor Dirthxanous saw the deadly trap before it sprung, crushing the man horribly. The doppleganger was stunned! No more stories, no more laughter and jibes from the witty human… and then the idea came to him… ‘Declan’ could live on…
Taking the man’s equipment and form, Dirthxanous rejoined the party proclaiming that there was nothing in these caves but dust and cobwebs. He kept up the guise for months, until it so happened that a former lover of Declan’s (the party cleric) wanted to rekindle relationships. Having no knowledge of the bard’s previous liason (he didn’t really think about it so the doppleganger had no memories to read), Dirthxanous was stuck. Afterwards the party quickly discovered that he was an impostor and tried to kill him, believing him responsible for the real Declan’s death.
One of the few things that truly interests him is the story, and becoming part of one himself. He imagines that someday he will be a great hero, having done many valiant deeds and gained power and prestige, and will finally be able to reveal his true form to the world. Once done, others will accept him for his bravery and ignore his birth. He truly only wants to belong.
The doppleganger fled the first group and found himself wandering a large city in the form of a haggard looking young man. In time he was approached by the Assassin’s guild to undertake a nearly suicidal mission (as a man apparently with nothing to lose), for a great deal of coin. The job was to retrieve an object from a heavily guarded keep and throw it out the tower window where it would be collected by the guild below. Rather than undertake the test in such a dangerous way, he studied the captain of the guard for days. Once done, he marched right through the checkpoints, took the object, and marched right back out again. The next day he handed the object to his contact personally (unbeknownst to him then, it was the guildmaster). They demanded to know how he was able to accomplish such a thing. On a whim, he let the guise of the young man dissipate, revealing his true nature. He was offered a permanent position on the spot, and lavished with gifts and praise. The guildmaster, knowing how prodigiously valuable a doppleganger would be, showed him every kindness and began to treat him as a long lost son.
One of the few things that truly disturbs him is his relationship with the Assassin’s guild, and the leader that first found him out and offered him work. Being young and naïve, he agreed, and the guildmaster treated him as family and friend. He had never been so accepted before by one who knew his true nature; and by one not of his own kind, no less. He gladly took the first true mission; to join a party and assassinate a particular member.
After joining up and traveling with them for almost a year, he found himself unable to betray his new comrade. Opportunities slipped by, but one day the target and he were alone and attacked by an owlbear. The warrior had been injured, and was no match for the beast. Dirthxanous stood, paralyzed with indecision, but the matter was quickly decided. Fleeing the cave, he held onto the moment with great regret, and immediately returned to the guild.
The guild hailed him as a roaring success, he had even managed to make it look like a natural accident! The only concern was that it had taken longer than expected, but he was new to the trade so that was quickly dismissed. His next mission was to betray an entire band of adventurers. He joined them as the bard Declan, but during the final conflict when the time came to destroy them or let them fail, he sacrificed himself to save the group. A collapsing tower allowed the party victory, and the group escaped… save for the shapeshifting bard who lay buried in the rubble. Eventually a guild man found him, battered and bleeding in among the stones. Recognizing him, he took Dirthxanous back. The mission was a failure, but his own misgivings about the job remained secret. Since the failure he has altered his preferred form slightly so that no suspicion will follow him to the next job… Though he wants to end his relationship with the guild.
