Bard (Animi)

"A good Bard should be glib of tongue, light of heart, and fleet of foot (when all else fails)". A roguish storyteller, information gatherer, gadfly, roustabout, and/or general mischief maker, Bards are generalists par excellance. Bards often have a smattering of magic, a skillful dodge or three, and a trick or two with a blade up their sleeve. When the chips are down the Bard is rarely bereft of an option, and endlessly take their foes unawares with their multitudinous bag 'o tricks.

Bards tend to expand into whatever happens to interest them at the time, rarely bothering to follow an exacting regimine, a strict schedule, or a suggested course schedule. Bards with foresight tend to always be preparred for the next challenge, while more bon vivant Bards just hope that their skills will measure up when the time comes. Either way, Bards are often gap fillers in an adventuring group; taking the role of a thief, warrior, or spellcaster if the group lacks one. In a group with all the main niches filled, Bards tend to mold themselves into some arrangement which complements their fellows or which meets their fancy.

Rapscallion
Rapscallions are those who are off the straight and narrow either in fact or in spirit. Alert to opportunity, quick witted and cagey, Rapscallions have a solid core of potential allowing them to adapt to whatever course fate presents them.
They represent both the best and worst of Rogues, for they are naturally talented but often choose to put that talent to primarily selfish ends
