Francis Featherwillow aka Bardo is finally dead.
I wanted to make a really simple concept to start things off after not playing on EFU for several years. I enjoyed having little responsibilities in game and just chilling out with the people of efu while everyone died around me. The only goal I really had was to make a memorable character that at least some people would enjoy, I think I achieved that.
I decided to make a typical bard and be a rockstar who went around singing songs drinking alcohol and doing drugs.
Backstory:
Bardo hailed from Sembia and was the son of two very rich merchant parents. Disinterested in money and politics, young Francis instead took a liking to music and roamed the local taverns, earning coin not from necessity but from the thrill of sharing a tale and seeing new places. He was eventually given the name Bardo from fans and patrons who never bothered to learn his name. His wanderlust knew no bounds and he left Sembia shortly before the Dread Armies attacked and left for a bardic college.
On his return home, Sembia was decimated in the Dread Army attack, but Bardo was able to sneak back to his home and check up on his parents. They had been already enthralled, and he was reluctantly forced to kill them with his own bare hands as he could see no better alternative. Afterwards when arriving to Sanctuary, Bardo sought redemption from himself but mainly focused on getting drunk and completely forgetting everything that happened.
I want to thank all the players I interacted with, you know who you are. Special thanks to Petey for allowing me to be a part of his crazy schemes and helping me try to attempt my own, even if I died just a little bit too soon before we were able to try them.

Things won't be quite the same without the town drunk.
The Bardo will be remembered. Thank you for being around, you added so much colour and fun to things. :)
One of my favorite PCs ever. I will see his goals achieved and get screenshots for you! RIP The Legend, The Bardo.
Aw dude :`(
BARDO
I interacted with Bardo on two of my characters and he was a central part of the story of one of them for a time. He had a good impact on the server without the responsibility that usually comes with. Great character Ixion keep it up.
Bardo was fantastic. I always loved the way he seemed to eternally find coat-tails to ride, helping other people along their own goals while adding a lot of flavor to Sanctuary. One of the best examples, in my mind, of just how much a character can help impact the server and create fun without having a huge personal agenda.
Here's my favorite memory of him, presented with minimal context:

One of the few players who purchased narcotics from me. PCs who will actually purchase and use narcotics are fairly rare. Cheers.
I was so sad that you didn't exit behind us and even more sad that we couldn't save you ;( RIP Bardo, you were the best dude! Looking foward to your next pc!
Damnit.
Good character, one of simons few long living friends, well friends because he outlived just about everyone
