Jakk has all the natural talent to make a great fighter, however its within writing and performing that Jakk wanted to make his mark. He admires performing bards greatly but is rather bitter as he just isn't very good, and it depresses him.

Background:

Jakk spent his youth in Loudwater in the Savage Frontier. No one knows where he came from, only that as a young lad he appeared in the town and began earning his keep helping at the Apothecary, the Green Tankard Tavern and also Garwan’s Curiosities, a shop owned by a retired bladesinger.

As he grew older Jakk also worked seasonally logging outside of town and also for the militia, his natural size and strength acquitted him well within these rolls but it was Garwin who had the most influence over Jakk with his tales and writings, and it was Garwin who encouraged Jakk to use his mind as well as his brawn, by teaching him languages and how to use the written word.

However not even Garwan could infuse charismatic talent into a sparse well. Still, after spending time to build up his courage Jakk decided to make a debut performance at the Green Tankard. It was disastrous, almost pitiful, and with the laughter and heckling ringing in his ears Jack decided to leave Loudwater for good to seek fame and fortune elsewhere.

Jakk said his goodbyes to Garwan and others, joined a caravan heading to Waterdeep and there hopped on the first boat he could find, it sailed to Balder's Gate. It was the first time he had seen the sea.


Goals: To create the greatest poetry in the realms. To be part of a great story captured in literature.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Aka The Ugly Poet, which leads him to both resent and admire charismatic bards.
Remembers little of his parents, only flash images and off being shoved through some kind of portal before arriving in Loudwater.
