Thousands of feet below you, a small crowd watches in awe as you flip, dance, and maneuver through the air. For the grand finale, you dive towards the ground, making multiple twists and turns. You land with a thundering boom, the audience moving back slightly from the wind. On your landing, you are greeted with great applause and laughter.

Running, tumbling, and jumping off stuff is your forte. They live to fly, finding new ways to perfect their craft any time they can. They're so good at what they do that they are able to use their gift of dexterity and strength as a way to make a living, putting on performances for amazed audiences by flipping and doing stunts in the air.
