Description
"My instrument is my weapon. Every battle is a song, every war a symphony. And the cries of the fallen harmonize perfectly with every note!"
Corrupted Violin Fencer's outfit appears to be a 19th century military general uniform. They wear a white mask that covers their entire head with a sinister smile that connects the mouth and eyes. A black aura emanates from the violinist, a result of their corruption. Their violin is burnt, with black ash covering the front and embers showing through. Their violin bow looks to be a rapier, curved at the tip, which can be placed and removed from a sheath Violin Fencer wears at their waist.
This character has been adapted from Tuba Warriors for D&D combat. His accompanying theme is "The Corrupted Violin Fencer" by Just A Friendly Crusader.
