Does it count if my character actually is a bard in the more traditional sense of the word - a musician/lyricist?
Nathan, IC, is not really the soldier type at all. He's good with a bow, as someone who grew up learning to use it to hunt for food and help defend his troupe, and he's handy in a fistfight, but I don't claim any special "magic" to his musical performances, nor do his MNK levels reflect any "chakras" or fantasy-fu other than his being a big guy who's been through his share of barfights.
When put next to those with full military training, he'd not consider himself on their level, nor does he really aspire to be.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
