Riff Ramone is a bard hailing from the regions of Zilspar

Riff spent his youth in a small but dangerous town on the outskirts of civilization, An odd assortment of buildings often a pit stop for all of the passers through. Living with a pair of drifters who made the dismal place their home, Riff worked as a bus boy at the local canteen. There he would serve the strange visitors of the town and would often pick up interesting tidbits of tales. Never having the privilege to be privy to the full story, Riff would often finish the stories himself coming up with fantastical origin stories (much like this one) about the characters he knew naught of.

At a young age, Riff became obsessed with music after hearing a myriad of genres during his time at the canteen. A patron once tipped him with an old tape deck from a bygone age. Riff used his wages to fix up the old device and explored the musics of far-off lands spending all his free time (and money) researching and collecting albums and making mixtapes.

One evening, Riff was in the woods vibing to his latest score when a group of raiders attacked and demanded all of riff's valuables, including his tape deck. Refusing to have his prized possession taken from him, Riff's anger and fear took over and as he opened his mouth to speak, his voice erupted into the most metal of all screams. The pure power of the sound shook the ground and the trees and sent his assailants fleeing back towards the village in hysterics.

In that moment riff stood stunned, he knew that his life had forever changed and that he could not go back to the canteen nor the village and set out to harness This newfound power by any means necessary
