Kef Potweed

He's a straw hat wearing, vagabond bard with a heart of gold and a bad case of the Mondays--as in he's an amnesiac. He woke up in the middle of a burnt out forest in 1474 AV with nothing but his name, his bag and a torched corpse next to him before he hightailed into the unknown. 
== Biography ==
=== Early History (Pre-amnesia) ===
Born on the 20th of Titanus, 1456 AV of a deal with three hags in the woods of Vega Verde, he was born a Changeling and unbeknownst to his mothers, he had a counterpart to be raised by the hags. He grew up on a farm just outside of town, and although he had stage fright in his youth, it was clear that he had a natural musical talent. Although his mother, Thurlene, had a bard for a sister, they chose to find an alternate teacher due to her natural tendency to wander.
With encouragement from his teacher, Kef decided to leave home in 1472 AV to travel around Asturia and learn from the world around him. Isabel and Thurlene supported this decision, as well as welcomed him back home a year and a half later. However, all was not well.
On his eighteenth birthday, Kef went for a walk in the woods where he met his counterpart. This other Kef attempted to kill him, but he was successful in defending himself, although in the fight he hit his head and the hag’s curse went into effect, causing him to lose all his memories.
===The Verdant Vigilantes===
After leaving Vega Verde with amnesia, Kef traveled southeast to Ghil'Elgara, where he met Bartholamew Popinstafolous. The two became quick friends and within a day had performed a quest for a witch of life who blessed them with bringing their gourd to life, which they named Gurdy. Within a short amount of time they founded their own heroes guild, calling themselves the Verdant Vigilantes in 1474 AV. 
In the winter of 1474 AV, he met another blue bard,Jolene Fleetwood, and without knowing they were aunt and nephew, she volunteered to be his new teacher. Shortly after that in spring of 1475 AV, the group recruited Lor McAvity and Ileana Solas'brin. That summer the final two members of their group joined, Marianne Sullivan and his future wife, Vashti Murin. 
==Personality==
A rather silly bard, he’s a virtuoso and a jokester, often playing the role of a jester in order to bring joy to those around him. He’s deeply romantic and wears his heart on his sleeve, and although he appears to be extremely confident, deep down there’s a pit of self doubt and because of this, he feels a constant need to try and prove himself.
