Tiko Pico IV
Gnome, Bard, Lawful Evil
Tiko Pico IV is a charismatic gnome bard from Casino Vulkan and the younger brother of Tiko Pico III. He is around 105 cm tall, with messy dark-brown hair, green eyes, and a well-groomed pair of curled Italian-style moustaches. He dresses like a slightly worn but elegant gentleman, carrying a lute inherited from his brother and a Casino Vulkan chip around his neck
Tiko grew up around Casino Vulkan, where his older brother, Tiko Pico III, was a well-known bard, gambler, drinker and womanizer. Tiko III was the one who taught him how to play music, entertain crowds and, unfortunately, gamble.
Over time, music became Tiko IV’s own passion, and he became a bard himself. Although he tries to be more responsible than his brother, he still shares some of his weaknesses.
One day, Tiko III left to become an adventurer and never returned. Nobody knows what happened to him, and Tiko refuses to believe that his brother simply disappeared.
After hearing a rumor that the Vampire Queen might know something about his brother’s fate, Tiko set out to find her. Along the way, he met a group of adventurers who were also heading toward the Vampire Queen. He joined them at first for safety and a common goal, but eventually they became a proper party.
Tiko is confident, friendly, charming and always ready with a joke. He loves music, gambling, women and a good drink, although he constantly insists that he is much more responsible than his brother.
He is loyal to the people he considers friends and will usually try to talk his way out of trouble before reaching for his weapon.
Deep down, Tiko desperately wants to find his brother. He admires Tiko III despite all his flaws, and secretly worries that he may be becoming more like him than he would like to admit.
