Hello everyone, here is my application. Powers are up for debate/discussion, but I tried to keep them fair and true to typical bard roles. The Soul Attack might seem OP at first glance, but considering only she would be able to move freely and both her hands would be occupied to perform it, it's severely neutered compared to what a martial character could accomplish with it.

Bard - With only an instrument in tow, the bard lacks the power to be an individual offensive threat. The strength of this class lies in its ability to support its allies, inspiring them with the courage and ferocity needed to take down some of the strongest foes. The bard is a powerful ally, but only when surrounded by allies of its own. The more friends a bard has by them, the more who will receive its boons, making the bard more effective with more members. Bard abilities can be broken up into Scores and Tempos. Only one Score and one Tempo each may be active at any time. Additionally, it is a social class capable of influencing NPCs in ways that others can not in order to gather information, help, and supplies.

Larghissimo [Tempo Ability] - The bard slows their playing, consequently slowing time around them, while remaining at a normal speed themselves. This slows everything and everyone in the area, including allies.

Allegro [Tempo Ability] 25 SP - All allies who can hear the music move in time to the increased tempo, encouraging them to move more quickly and attack faster.
Adagio [Tempo Ability] 25 SP - This slower tempo eases the minds of allies, allowing them to focus better when attempting difficult tasks.
Mystic Melody [Score Ability] 25 SP - This score transfers its magic to allies listening, bolstering their magical power.
Fugue of Fury [Score Ability] 25 SP - A rousing number that inspires allies and pumps them with energy and increased physical power.

Maeve is 5'5" with a generous, curvy build. She wears dark makeup and typically has a broody expression. Her eyebrows are neatly and thinly plucked, and they frame her hazel eyes alongside her black, thin-rimmed glasses. Black-and-red-dyed hair falls in tufts by her face. Her avatar sports a black overbust corset, a red lace bodice, red leather pants, and black leather boots. Black and red tattoos of either tribal or arcane origin line her arms and cheeks.

Maeve is brash and impatient. So much so that she ended up picking the wrong class when she started the game because she was in such a rush to begin! She had intended to be a powerful sorcerer and rain magical fury upon her foes, but before she realized she had selected the wrong class it was already too late. Now she is stuck in the position of bard, which for her may prove more difficult than most. Maeve had always been a loner when she played games before, relying on raw power classes to solo an entire game and get by on her own. She doesn't work well with others and never has, but now she must overcome this in order to survive as a bard. Between her acidic sarcasm and a bad inferiority complex, making friends online and taking a back seat to support them will be a harsh adjustment.[/hider]
