Lio the Tumbler

Lio the Tumbler – Traveling Acrobat & Lute Player

Race: Half-Elf
Age: 24
Occupation: Acrobat, minstrel, and street performer
Usual Haunt: Market square during daylight; rooftop edges or tavern railings at dusk

Appearance: Slim and agile, with shoulder-length hair dyed the color of autumn leaves. Lio wears layered sashes, tight breeches, and fingerless gloves for grip. His lute is worn but well-tuned, slung across his back with a tangle of ribbon charms.

Personality: Flirtatious, whimsical, and always one clever quip away from starting trouble. Lio spins stories as easily as he somersaults, and it’s never clear how much of his past is true.

Background: Lio claims to be the child of a noblewoman and a ghost, raised in a haunted tower by retired adventurers. In truth, he was likely born in an alley in Crimmor and escaped into bardic life early. He’s learned songs from across the coast and never stays in one town longer than a week.

Reputation in Mosstone: Popular with the youth and a few romantically inclined townsfolk. Guarded against by parents and clerics who think he’ll “steal a soul with a smile.”

Hook: His dreams in Mosstone are vivid and prophetic, filled with twisted trees and whispering shadows. He has started sketching unknown glyphs in his sleep.
