1. Probably not. It's still a medieval-style government, so thuggery wins out over nuance in politics.

2. Color photographs only. It will make the art style distinctive from the monster tokens. However, the whole thing is going to be reduced down to a token that's displayed at 128x128 pixels maximum, so fine details like furry ears are going to go largely unnoticed.

3. A headset definitely makes things easier.

4. The indenture kicks in as soon as the government notices the existence of a new life. I'll make some notes about this on the wiki.

2. Check.

3. Headset acquired!

4. Also check.

Bard justification is pretty easy: Every race needs to keep its history and stories alive.

Current concept: a shifter war-skald type. The original shifter language has no written form, so the language and all of its histories/stories are preserved in ancient chants, while all the kids grow up reading/speaking common otherwise. So he/she's a historian and religious scholar, but being from a fairly violent species, this is no excuse for not also knowing how to shove a sword in someone's face as necessary.
