IGN: Lemonade
Name: Adrian Goodman
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: Despite his generic real world appearance he made a name for himself around campus for being a bit of a skirt chaser, someone who truly enjoyed the company of young lady. This transferred into Elder Tale, he admires the beauty and pursues it. However Lemonade and Adrian alike never pursue too far, never to the point of harassment. He purses after a bad start because he believes that a bad first impression isn't an obstacle to a relationship.
On the other hand, Adrian a bit of a Devil. He tends to prank others that he perceives as disingenuous since a person's true nature comes out in times of stress. This pranking in real life translated into the Virtuoso path in Elder Tale, getting people annoyed and frustrated that the de-buffs he inflicts make them unable to perform at peak efficiency.

History: If you met Adrian in the real world you wouldn't give him a second look. He was a generic University student, maybe 165cm tall with curly brown hair and blue eyes. He was only moderately more famous in Elder Tale as a Bard called Lemonade as he was one of the only Bards with the Mariachi Sub-Class, gained from winning a Bard exclusive event in Meder City from the seventh expansion. As the first winner he was also awarded with the Dia De Los Muertos equipment set that was only useable by a Mariachi that increased the strength of the Bard's De-Buff abilities.
Lemonade gained some renown for his role in the Gates of Hell raid, also known as "The raid with the annoying drops", that lasted over a week. Lemonade was a part of the 3rd Party for the raid, so he wasn't exactly the first pick, but the final boss Dantenion, a giant skeleton that a Fear de-buff aura and regeneration rate that increased the more minions he had around, was were he proved his worth. His party ended up being the keystone that prevented the enemy from overwhelming the main body while the 1st and 2nd parties broke of to flank the Boss. Lemonade layered de-buff upon de-buff, making certain that no amount enemies were enough to overwhelm their party, by the time the 1st and 2nd Parties had worn down Dantenion to half strength the remaining monsters were no longer a threat. When things started looking up Dantenion went into his second stage which consisted of shadows coiling around him and forging a pitch black armour and limiting the maximum damage he could take with a singe attack, making defence and strength buffs all but useless. The 3rd party was the first to catch on to the method needed to win. Lemonade was actually astounded that it took all the other Enchanters and Bards so long to start using speed buffs and power de-buffs. As a result of the Lemonade's powerful strength de-buffs the 3rd party took very little damage from Dantenion, with the Druid helping to further nullify the damage, but it was the speed buff that allowed the Swashbucklers to take down Dantenion so quick that it lacked the opportunity to use it's more powerful skills.
With the raid boss dead everyone lingered to see what powerful weapon Dantenion would drop, if it was a one handed weapon it was decided it would go to the Templar leader of Party 2, if it was a staff it was to go to Party 1's Sorcerer and there was a candidate for each kind of drop. Lemonade was happy to let them have the spoils, every class had a priority above Bard when it came to these drops since every class could use the weapons better than a Bard. That's why it caused a small uproar when the Phantasmal drop was a Bard's Trumpet Requiem for the Lost "All that work and only a lousy Bard can use it!" was the outcry then everyone noticed that there was a Mariachi sub-class requirement and there was only one, Lemonade. The group rationalised that Lemonade was the one who had helped not only survive the wave of monsters, but it was also Party 3 that had killed the boss. So with logic prevailing they agreed that Lemonade would have the Trumpet.
