Appearance:
           
Of middle height, Spielos has an athletic build and a shocking burst of unruly white hair. He wears his practical, loose-fitting traveling clothes in a manner that disguises his build and most equipment he might be carrying, save for his sword, which he wears openly. Quick with a smile, his flashing blue eyes speak of merriment and an inside joke only he gets. His rich baritone voice resonates with sincerity.
Personality:
           
Spielos is at ease in any town or on the road. His real love is performing-
his song and dance means everything to him, and he will use it whenever he
can. No stranger to how the world really works, he guards his thoughts in
the company of those he does not trust, and knows the best practice is to
"smile pretty and watch his back": a quote of his. Once easy going and
verbose, current circumstances have made him a bit paranoid and reckless.
           
Spielos thinks everyone makes their own luck through well thought out choices. He is courageous when called to be so, but never foolhardy. One should test their skills, but one should also know their limits. He is a devout follower of Tymora, having taken the view that Luck has carried him through life so far, and can be seen praying to her before many performances. After all, part of making sure you’re lucky is making sure Lady Luck is happy, right? Secretly, he wishes to meet the Lady someday, and thank her for everything she has given him- a task he is sure he must die to finish. Until then, he is content to live life to the fullest, and he serves her in his own way. If the call should ever come to serve her directly as a member of the clergy (something often on his mind) he would answer the call happily.
           
He has a soft spot for the downtrodden and children- anyone who could use a helping hand or legs to hide behind. He will often perform free of charge for audiences made up of children or poor laborers. Likewise, he has no great love for fools or those who squander opportunity. He is far too diplomatic to wear his emotions on his sleeve, but has been known to stage mocking performances from time to time- but is always careful to keep them tame enough not to get him self into trouble.
           
While he sometimes attracts the attention of the ladies, Spielos does not act upon their advances often. His time spent with his mentor Hrolf has given him a desire to find “his one true love,” and it isn’t fair to lead people on.

- No matter how much I want to, Spielos will not yell "Heavy Metal!" as
he does any of this, nor will he advise anyone of how much he wants
to rock.
- "If there is no wine in this cave," Spielos blurted, "then these would have to be the worst bandits ever."
- "If you run you will only die tired!"
- MC Spielos' rap!
I'm a cool cat,
I hang with knaves
I get all the peshka babes
with my cool style
rhyming all the while
pity they have knives
trying to take my lives
break it down-
Hoes! Hoes! peshka babes got hoes!
Tillin' in the fields
drinking after dark
have one too many flagons
and come and ride my dragon!
Walking all over
I gotta hide my gear
it is a real pain in the rear
damn, this shit is heavy
mad cheddar, I got plenty
Tell me now-
Hoes! Hoes! peshka babes got hoes!
Tillin' in the fields
drinking after dark
have one too many flagons
and come and ride my dragon!
Everybody hates me
Cause I'm a real player
Babe, I'll see you later
I must be running
Because the Atjets are coming
Sing it!
Hoes! Hoes! peshka babes got hoes!
Tillin' in the fields
drinking after dark
have one too many flagons
and come and ride my dragon!
