Right now, I've just started a gestalt campaign with a CG Half-elf Bard//Marshall/Outcast Champion (focused in singing).

My DM has been giving out bonus XP for "RPing." So in order to try to get some extra points out of this, I'm looking for some help finding fun songs, lyrics, limmericks, rhymes, etc. to try to incorporate into the game.

To give a little bit of my character's background:
He comes from a lesser human noble family (with a history of producing generals) that married into a family of rich elves, yet became fed up with nobility after seeing the destruction and death caused by petty squabbles between rich lords and families. He is a natural leader and diplomat but in battle he's more of a supporter for other stronger fighters.

The campaign that I play can be very campy, so anything fun or entertaining is in.

Any thoughts? Can provide more info if needed.

This guy will probably have a diplo score in the 20s at low levels. Play that up. If there's a conflict, any conflict in your presence, go try and get them to resolve their differences non violently. Since he's chaotic he might not care about social norms in the process, but won't be cruel about it since he's good. So for example Jane throws a cat at Steve in a domestic dispute, butt in and help even though it's not your business.

As for songs and stuff, dunno about details but aim for inspirational and perhaps humorous songs. (laughter can often break a hostile mood)
