Jammy Hooks

== Basic Info ==
Jammy Hooks is a Hallengardian Bard. His current instruments include his vocals, The Flute of Justice, and The Heavenly Harp. While technically a part of Hallengard's Royal Guard, Hooks has no particular combat affinity.
== Early Life ==
Jammy Hooks was born to a single mother (Reginimina Hooks) in Hallengard. From a young age, Hooks struggled to fit in with the societal norms of Hallengard. Hooks would often find himself lost in thought or whistling a tune while his peers focused on their training or academics. 
Upon his mother's death, Hooks left Hallengard at the age of 13 to travel to foreign lands to study to be a bard. During his travels, Hooks contracted a water-borne parasite that resulted in the loss of his hands and all of the hair on his body. As such, he went on to have various attachments forged for his nubs that allow him to hold and operate various instruments and other mechanical objects. 
== Career ==
Upon returning to his homeland, Hooks made a trip to Aedwin to seek work as a bard, only the be turned away and shunned. On his way out of Aedwin, Hooks ran into The King of Hallengard and his Royal Guard. In desperation, Hooks begged The King for an instrument, hoping to find work as a bard within his castle. The King informed Hooks that he was not sure where an instrument could be procured, but that he would try his best. The Royal Guard welcomed Jammy Hooks with open arms, hoping to have their morale raised by song.
In the beginning of his work as a bard, Hooks, without an instrument, would simply sing to The King and his men. These songs typically started with the line "The King is great! The King is great!", before two lines of rhyme.
Later, Hooks spent an entire night praying to the gods for an instrument. On a routine return to the Hallengard gate from the throne room, Hooks discovered The Flute of Justice protruding from a pile of snow. With practice, Hooks learned to use one of his special nub attachment sets in order to play the flute.
With a successful career as Royal Bard to The King of Hallengard, Hooks sought to expand his musical ability even further. After another night of prayer to the gods, Hooks was contacted by a courier. The courier carried The Heavenly Harp, sent by a mysterious stranger from somewhere across the land. Hooks became familiar with the Heavenly Harp, and eventually learned to play it as well as the Flute of Justice.
