Bard Hunter

What kind of instrument do you guys think Hunter would play?

I think about all the types of magic we never saw Hunter use in the show. Besides seeing some non specific staff magic like teleportation , creation and blast we only see him use magic that could be considered construction and have interest in potions but that’s it really.

This actually low key disappoints me because I know a boy like Hunter with such a interest in magic would know how to do so much and we didn’t get to see it. I can imagine all the original and bizarre ways he would use magic since I doubt many people has interest in teaching anything but the basics. Like yeah, he had an artificial staff but he still needs to know the spells like how we see him having to use flapjack for the first time in eclipse lake.

Oh well, that’s what we have fanfiction for

Anyways, while I don’t think Belos would care to much for Hunter to learn Bard magic as it would probably need to another artificial tool and there are other skills Hunter could learn instead.

I just think it’s fun to think about the Golden Guard or just Hunter whipping out an instrument and jamming out mid fight or for funsies.

I think Belos would have him learn some sort of church kind of instrument. Like one you could hear at a church or something in the 1600s.

Like a viol, lute, fiddle or recorder. Since these instruments are pretty old in origin and used in religious spaces which I think suits Belos.

I think Hunter would be good at this and would be commonly used in combat, I can imagine.

Now as for post-canon I can see Hunter learning a instrument as something new to learn. Even better if he can get waffles to turn into one.

I think he would be interested in some sort of string instruments.

I can imagine him vividly with a violin or lyre. Violin because I think they are very powerful intruments that can convey all sorts of tone and emotion and lyre due to the association with birds.

But yeah I love the idea of bard Hunter.
