They also have a female elven form that is slightly shorter and with a lighter complexion, but otherwise maintains that standard of beauty. They further have a male goliath form with dark grey skin, tattoo-like markings, and thick dark hair into a ponytail, as well as a blue tiefling woman form with complimenting purple-ish horns. While both the male and female names share the name Allum, the goliath form is named Akrosh and the tiefling is named Aelia.

## History

Born to changeling parents, Lum was entrusted at an early age to an elven couple their parents trusted. Due to the skepticism toward shape changers, they wished to allow Lum a safe and happy life. The elven couple, Alwin and Ava Layalin, accepted Lum into their household and raise them as their own. To help them fit in better, they were given the name Ithael, a name they would answer to for many years to come.

The Layalin's owned an instrument and repair store, creating and servicing instruments for people within their town and many other neighboring ones. Ithael learned a passion for music in this environment, always loving playing around with the instruments even at a young age.

At the age of 18, Ithael's parents sat them down for a conversation. They revealed the true nature of his birth, the truth about his race, and why they lived together. It was met with strong reassurance that, blood or not, all of them considered themselves to be family. However, with this revelation, they wanted to see if they could find more changelings to try and reconnect with their lost heritage. With support from their parents, they set out as a travelling bard. It was then that they assumed the stage name Allum I. Heart, a way to pay tribute both to their changeling name, Lum, as well as their elven name, Ithael.

Over the years they gained a lot of experience and knowledge. From passing rumours to at times being paid in knowledge and a room to sleep for their service, they accrued a vast set of skills as well as a fascination in different languages and how they interacted with the music they played. They also discovered an affinity for magic, using music to weave and cast spells. During these years they dated a fair number of people, but it was around the age of 22 that they found someone that struck a chord with their heart.

Desmond Hill was a human man. A kind, gentle, and passionate soul that was deeply interested in theory and philosophy. They spent a few years together, and over that time it was clearly how strongly their love was blooming. Allum settled in the same town, still travelling out for a few weeks or so at a time but not without letters being sent back and forth between them. After so long, a proposal seemed to be just around the corner, something they were both anxious for.

It was at this point Allum decided to reveal their nature as a changeling to Desmond. There was some fear in doing so, but considering their connection they felt now was the time. However, the news was received poorly. Outraged at this fact, Desmond accused Allum of being deceitful, that he could never trust something so inherently subversive and ultimately he broke up with Allum right then, three years into their relationship. Allum was heartbroken and betrayed, heading out onto the road to find a better place to be.

They eventually came across the Guildtown in Guildera, just before they were about to move to another continent. Interested in what adventure could be had and wishing to distance himself from the tragedy of his relationship, he joined the adventurers on the air ship and settled into the new Guildtown in Eporue.

## Relationships

**Arabella -** Spending time on quests together, the two have struck a friendly rapport. Allum has been invested in the success of Arabella's daughter as she pursues her education, helping to fund the initial cost.

**Borrik -** Meeting shortly after Allum came to Guildtown, Allum attempted to console him and offer some relationship advice. However, after things turned rocky Allum projected a lot of their past experiences with Desmond onto Borrik, something they would attempt to fix later but still feel guilty about doing.

**Caelif -** Currently dating and sharing a house together. They are going on over a year now and hold a lot of respect and admiration for the other. They spent a number of their first quests together, a streak that continued for most of Caelif's time as an adventurer.

**Lessla Dee -** Quick friends, Lessla was the first person in Guildtown Allum talked about being a changeling with. They supported each other through a number of emotional revelations for both of them. At one point they had a crush on Lessla, though this has been moved on from since.

**Marshall -** Going on a few quests together, they had a notable incident where, upon having their bodies stolen, Allum pretended to be a profit of Pelor to convince the people in town that Marshall was Pelor in order to help them retrieve their bodies.

**Mithemia Ironfall** **-** The first person Allum met in Guildtown, they immediately grew a respect for Mithemia after she helped to fund the Heart Of Music festival grounds that were later used for a charity event to help a number of peoples that were struggling. At one point they had a crush on Mithemia, though this has been moved on from since.

**Rhodey -** An early friend, the two met when Rhodey was looking for help testing one of their inventions. This bloomed into a small business relationship, and when Allum as seeking to upgrade their lyre they got Rhodey to help make the wanted modifications.

**Stree Musician -** A dragonborn from the city of Noricher, Allum once gave them a hefty donation for their incredible music which ingraciated him to the musician. They eventually were employed by a nobleman and invited Allum over, though it turned into a much more eventful evening than planned.
