Deep within the caves of the South Eastern Range, an adventuring party met their end. The goblins picked their victims clean of both flesh and of gold, leaving piles of bones, bloody ripped clothing, and bits that didn't catch the light in ways they fancied. Little did they know that clutched within the severed hand of the group's bard was an item powerful enough to move kingdoms... or at least smash open a turtle.
Divo the kobold had also been exploring the caves and happened upon the grisly sight. Rummaging through the leftovers he found bits of leather that he used to fashion himself a simple wrap but nothing else of interest... until he inadvertently bumped the strings of the lute and was pleased by the sound it made. He took to lute into his claws and became something unheard of for his people... he was as far as he knew... a Kobold Bard. --- So, basically he tries really hard to be charismatic and charm people with music, but hes a lizard with no musical talent so he just ends up raging and hitting them with the lute.

Cool, cool, cool...
Why is he a barbarian?
But have you considered Bard-barian?
Because he's not reeeeeally a bard at all right now. He's an angry little level 3 kobold who found a lute.
I can picture him making a break through and doing something amazing at later levels and unlocking 1 level of bard.
