Physical Description
Taladan is as tall as he is dark.  He travels a lot and while that may have something to do with his swarthy tan, the traces of his Adelan heritage are strong on his features.  His dark green eyes are quite slim and give him a squinting appearance; they are evenly apart with a wide aquiline nose in the middle.  Facial hair trims his upper lip and chin with a scraggly beard that sprawls across his jaw and a little down his neck.  His black hair is thick, and sometimes difficult for him to maintain, as a result, he merely keeps it down and out of his face.

His clothes are often wrinkly and unkempt, even his simple shirt is rarely ever tucked in his pants.  He wears a belt around his waist, which is quite loose and has a plain long sword attached to it.  He wears no armor, nothing more than his shirt, a leather jerkin over it and his thick green cloak.

Personality
Taladan is quite a happy man, always ready for the next time he can hang out with good drinking buddies and always enjoys singing a song and strumming a tune.  He's a good partier and there is a rare moment when he's ever down.  He's not prone to keep to himself and actively seeks out others to speaks with; when left to his own devices, there is no tell what he might do.  Curiosity is quite strong within him and this has gotten him into quite a bit of trouble with various groups of people who don't like meddling bards.

Adventure always seems to find him first, despite his noble nature to help those in need when he can.  He's not completely selfless though and has been known to be heavy-handed when he has nothing to offer others.  Taladan does his best to see the bright side of things most often, though when he's down, he becomes bitter and morose, not wanting to be around others.

Magic/Abilities
Singing:  Taladan's voice has a powerful quality to it.  In fact, so much so, that he uses it as both a weapon and a tool for his vocation.  Taladan has both the ability to control the tone of his voice but also who is affected by it.  His singing voice can be used to charm others to his side, or to calm a frenzied opponent into not attacking him (or to attack somebody else), or even to frighten, intimidate, disorient, and ultimately effect the body with long-term damage if he uses it in that fashion.

Family
His parents are quite dead and he rarely thinks on them.  He was an only child.
