- By Popular DemandEntertainer
You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure.

Appearance
Leonidas is a diminutive forest gnome with an oversized personality. He sports a shock of emerald-green hair spiked up with sap and honey, often shimmering with a light coating of glitter. He wears a custom-tailored leather vest adorned with polished brass studs and vibrant silk scarves. His fingers are constantly moving, tapping out rhythms on his thighs or checking the tuning on his spider-silk stringed lute.
Mannerisms
He frequently flips his hair back with a flourish, even during combat, and refers to his party members as his 'roadies'.
Personality
Leonidas acts as if the entire world is his personal stage. He is relentlessly upbeat, prone to dramatic monologues, and deeply convinced that his band, Nichol L Bak, is on the verge of a world-changing breakthrough. Despite his vanity, he is remarkably kind-hearted and views his fans, and his adventuring party, as extended family.
Ideals
Artistry. My music is a gift that must be shared with every soul, willing or otherwise. Fame is just a tool to spread joy.
Bonds
My brothers Bakker and Nichol are my rhythm and my soul. I will do anything to ensure our band reaches the top of the charts.
Flaws
I am desperately afraid of being forgotten or performing to an empty room. I often spend more on glitter than on food.
Quirks
Background
Born in the deep, resonant hollows of the Whisper Woods, Leonidas was always the most vocal of the trio. His brothers, Bakker and Nichol, were content with simple forest melodies, but Leonidas dreamt of something bigger, louder, and more glamorous. He convinced them that their unique blend of gnomish harmony and rhythmic thumping was the future of music. They formed the band Nichol L Bak, a name derived from Nichol's penchant for collecting copper pieces and Bakker's talent for keeping the beat. While the band saw mild success among the local squirrel population and a few confused woodcutters, Leonidas knew they needed a broader audience. He set out on an adventuring career to finance their 'Grand World Tour' and to find exotic instruments that would truly make their sound stand out. Every monster he fights is seen as a critic to be won over, and every dungeon is just a back-stage area waiting for its headliner. He currently tours the Sword Coast under the guise of an adventurer, always sending back his share of the loot to his brothers so they can afford better stage pyrotechnics and shinier tunics. He is the face of the band, the heart of the show, and a nightmare for anyone who hates catchy, repetitive choruses.
