Harvey Harold Hanson

**Harvey Harold Hanson** is a tiefling bard from The Kingdom of Lazica, Frosluire. After unexpectedly dying, he now resides in Iad and travels alongside Kalris Turroth, Aaron, and Calvin. He also occasionally travels with Ari and Charlotte.

## Description

Harvey, a tiefling, measures precisely six feet tall and presents a unique physical appearance. He possesses long, dark blue hair that extends beyond his shoulders and distinctive silver and grey horns that curve upward and backward over his ears. His skin displays a blotchy mix of peach and red tones, and his eyes are of a solid silver hue. It is noteworthy that, unlike most members of his species, Harvey lacks a tail.

## Personality

Harvey is an impulsive, independent, and exceedingly empathetic natural leader. As a former mafia leader, Harvey has an imposing presence and is incredibly charismatic. At his discretion, he can be terrifyingly intimidating, extraordinarily persuasive, or put on a deceiving act. Throughout his entire life, he has been a sort of jack of all trades, being good at generally everything, but mastering only a few select skills. This makes him very effective in a variety of situations.

However, he occasionally can be self centered or may act of a whim. Additionally, he feels guilt for Shellldon's death despite not having been able to improve the situation, and criticized Kalris for not feeling the same guilt.

## Possessions

As a bard, Harvey is capable of playing a variety of musical instruments, for he can channel their music to impose change on the world via magic. As such, he carries bagpipes, a lute, a viol, and more. He also wears leather armor and a simple shield, and at times, will wield daggers, a rapier, a crossbow, and other weapons.

Ever since Shellldon's death, his right hand has been replaced by Crocell's Hook.

## History

Harvey comes from Frosluire, one of the many worlds that funnel into Iad. He was born in the Kingdom of Lazica, ruled by King Beetle a major Kingdom and trading point in Frosluire. Lazica consists of 4 Major islands, the capital of Ocdometrem, Thavian Island, The Isle of Valeth, and the Islands of Phearia where Harvey was born.

Harvey was born to his tiefling father Morthos, and his human mother Jayla Hanson. He had 2 siblings, and older sister named Lenora Hanson and a twin brother named Marcus Relhorn Hanson. Out of the three siblings, Harvey was the only one who picked up on his fathers tiefling traits. Throughout Harveys life, Morthos had always been abusive and absent. He would often leave at seemingly random times, boating North towards Valeth. While Morthos attempted to train Harvey in the arts of deception and his infernal ancestry, Harvey was more interested in learning about musical magic from his mother. Harvey adored his mother, and spent most of his time with her. This angered Morthos, and caused him to take the three kids and force them to move to Valeth. Harvey was only 13 when he saw his mother for the last time. He remembers her long blond hair, and sliver eyes tearing up as they hugged for the last time. She waved her hand goodbye wearing a white gown as they sailed away. The image of her waving often appears in Harvey's mind, or in dreams. As they sailed, Morthos made the young children row the boat. As Harvey looked into the water, and saw how happy the fish and sea life were, he grew a disliking for sea life, as felt envious of their freedom. This has led to Harvey disliking all fish or sea life, as it relives a past trauma. When they finally arrived at The Isle of Valeth, Harvey could tell something was wrong. Every person on that island treated their arrival as if Morthos was a god. they had a feast and a big celebration for them. Harvey never knew that he had ever been to this island, or the fact that it ever existed. He had landed himself in a town called Harmsville. He quickly noticed that these people were strange and so was the town itself. Burnt buildings scattered around everywhere, many wedding venues and churches, all with an office building 67 stories high, and a mansion stacked on top. The mansion was Morthos’ home, and Harvey and Marcus noticed that quickly. As they rode to the top on a glass contraption that his father claimed to make himself, Harvey saw inside. Loans, arson, robbery and engagement were the sections that divided the building, arson being the biggest. Harvey exchanged confused looks with his brother. Morthos would then reveal to his children that he had been running a crime organization called LARE, and soon enough it would be one of theirs. This building allowed him and his crew to start an organization represented by a broken peace symbol, of which Morthos had a tattoo on his right arm. As Harvey spent more and more years on Valeth, his childhood rotting away, he found out that his father had implemented this crime organization on all four Islands, and the King was in on it. As he realized this, he knew that there was nothing he could do to get out of this situation. Things changed on his and his brothers 16th birthday. The twins were invited to the town square, in which they saw King Beetle, a short grey haired woman, a tall and thin man, and an empty chair. A purple aura of magic wisped around them, and when Morthos entered he told the boys that he had a decision to make. One of them would take his spot as leader of the crime organization, the other would have to die. Before any discussion could occur, Morthos walked up and placed a large bronze metal in the shape of a broken peace symbol around Marcus' neck. Then, the swirling purple aura began to fill Harvey's lungs taking the air out of him and causing a large scar to appear on his left arm, like it was infecting him. The people sitting in the chairs surrounded by this magic had started chanting words louder and louder. As his brother screamed out, Marcus was able to use the magic surrounding him, and what his mother had taught him to try and stop it. He forced some of this magic back on the leaders of his fathers crime organization, but as soon as King Beetle fell to the ground dead, the magic started to fill his lungs too. Morthos ran over and stopped them from killing Marcus, but the light started to fade in Harvey's eyes, and soon enough he collapsed dead. As a trauma response, Harvey believes that he saw his brother die, as that is the last thing he saw before he died.
