Ghirahymn "Gayrad" Boi

Founder and Current Leader of Gayrad Inc, Gayrad is the pinnacle of style and grace. With pale white skin and crimson red hair Gayrad strives to always make an entrance, often using their experimental music style to either distract or inspire.

Gayrad was one of the original 9 members of the guild, and as credited as the founder.

A Years Hiatus
After the death of D'Artagnan, Gayrad left Dalmasca for a year with their Half Sister Su'shi in order to better themselves. It was in this time that they discovered their love of music fully, throwing themselves into their art. Being on the road for the year allowed Gayrad to experiment with their style, and after a few months they had finally found a genre they could be proud of. Gayrad returned to Dalmasca in high spirits. They were present for Gayrad Inc.'s attempt at qualifying for the Grand Magic Games, and were also present for the Death of Gilmore Bolton. This event had a strange effect on Gayrad, as they became more demanding of respect from their fellow peers.

Party Dynamic
Season 1 

In the early days of Gayrad Inc., Gayrad tried their hand as an attack oriented spell caster, often leading the charge into battle with reckless abandon. However, a small pool of combat oriented spells, a few bad dice rolls, and the squishy hit dice of the sorcerer class often led to Gayrad being knocked unconscious at least once every session. Their favored attack during this season was the Ray of Frost Cantrip.

During the tail end of this season, they had finally made their first dip into Bard, leading them to learn the spells "Cure Wounds", "Healing Word", and "Dissonant Whispers" This taste of healing and distant based attack magic would soon inform Gayrad's battle strategies in the coming seasons.

Season 2 and 3

Having formulated the Glam Rock genre by the time the second season started, Gayrad fully embraced the support oriented nature of the Bard class. While mostly using their magic for diplomatic or performance based scenarios, In combat scenarios Gayrad had truly developed into in invaluable asset to any of the guild's adventures. Gayrad often keeps the hit points of allies high with not only the likes of "Cure Wounds" and "Healing Word", But by granting his allies temporary hit points upon simply looking at him, thanks to the College of Glamour. Gayrad also learnt to remain at the back of the party, often using attack oriented spells such as "Dissonant Whispers" and "Shatter" from a safe distance. Their frequent usage of Bardic inspiration not only grants their allies buffs, but often serves as a suitable distraction outside of combat scenarios as well.
