Roscoe Danwrick

Roscoe is a Halfling Bard in The Collective campaign.

Biography
When Roscoe was young, he was unlike his modest peers. He had no interest in leading a simple life and wanted his name to live on longer than he does. He found relative success in creating and performing music, though received criticisms for focusing more on his visual flair than his music. After performing for his fellow halflings for some time, he grew tired of the small scale of his performances due to the limitations of The Grand Pasture and sought greater venues

Roscoe continued this life for some time, travelling around Orrin, performing his flashy show for all sorts of races and tribes, often using his halfling stature to sell himself as an oddity to bring in more patrons. One day, he found himself touring near the Crimson Mountains, performing in a few populated citadels in the area, and had a special show that included many of the higher ups from the region. Between pieces, Roscoe made some quips that aimed to poke fun of Dwarvish culture. However, he may have taken things too far, resulting in a very angry crowd of dwarves driving him off. What followed was a wave of controversy which eventually drove him out of the mountains. (It was later discovered he was chased off because his insults weren’t hard enough).

Roscoe continued his tour, but he couldn’t shake the controversy. Wherever he went, either word of the controversy in the Dwarvish citadel followed, or a slip of the tongue created new offences. There came a point where Roscoe was known more for his controversial language than his performances. It came to a point where Roscoe had to lie low until the controversy died down if he wanted to keep performing, so that’s exactly what he did. He never settled down, travelling around Orrin, making enough to live, for a long while, until he noticed he was no longer getting glared at on the streets; people must have moved on or forgotten his transgressions.

Roscoe saw an ad for the talent show in which he went on to meet the rest of the party, hoping to regain his fame with this performance.

Personality
During his heyday, Roscoe was quite the diva. However, after his unfortunate (first) death, Feydrid offered him a choice. Cut the arrogance and actually help people, or die for real this time. This led Roscoe to put aside his arrogance and focus on helping others under the threat of actual death.
