... No joke page this time, because I have three relatively high effort comics sketched out better exploring this character in a way I want .

Meet Agency, everyone.

Design notes and thoughts under the cut.

You'll notice, that is a tiefling virtue name right there. A traveler by nature, he is someone who highly values freedom, and people and things having the freedom to do as they'd like in life.

He is a bard, however in battle he does not play a traditional instrument. Instead, he has a music box (it's magic, so it's a bit funky) of which he personally enchanted/made. He does compose music, but it's all rather experimental, playing with different music styles and instruments. (Not exactly something easy to bring into battle.)

He's rather cagey about how the music box works, but it seems to be a collection of different music he's come across in his travels. How he changes the songs and how it's been enchanted? He refuses to say. Emotionally, it's the equivalent of someone bringing their playlist to battle. He is dancing to the music in battle.

A chosen of Eilistraee, he was a strategic pick from her done to make a point to both her brother (Not a Drow and a Complete outsider to her main communities) and her followers (He is a man completely uninterested in humoring drow gender politics, and he barely humors her church despite becoming rather involved in it) He's not... aware of this.

Agency: I am… A little under the impression I am being used as a pawn for a greater scheme Enclave: Oh good. You figured out how this works organically. Agency: Does that… Bother you? Enclave: Ah. No. If we must use this analogy, I made myself into a pawn for this game long before you were born. Agency: Hmmm…

Overall, he's a chosen that seems to have one foot in the door at times. He's here, he has a hand from the deck. But he's maybe not as fully dedicated as he at first seems, and doesn't seem entirely aware of all the cards at play. Despite this, he does genuinely like Eilistraee. He doing a lot to humoring her. She loves that he's willing to go all out on thematically fitting to her ("I honestly used to dress up in florals more, but she really seems to enjoy the star theming. And I do look rather good in blue")

Regardless of what he does and doesn't know, and how dedicated to it he is, this is a role he agreed to take on knowing there would be some... difficulties. Especially given the time he came into the picture. (He is another character introduced at the most modern point of the story.)

...

A lot of his shape language is meant to be somewhat devious seeming. Anime villian shape language. He has a lot of points and angles, but rather pretty features. His horns are meant to mimic crescent moons, and together come to create a full one.

Personality wise, he is unironically just like. A well meaning man with no bait and switch. He CAN be a little dramatic, as he's a theater kid at heart. But he has a very gentle soul. Contrasted with the fact that he does just love a good fight.
