Revelry Bouncer Image

“There ain’t no party like a revelry party, because the revelry party don’t stop!” That has been the mantra behind all Satyr revelries, some of which have lasted for millennia, and you are the first line of defense in making sure that mantra holds true. Your skills are honed, you’ve heard every excuse, but you will only let those who have pure revelry in their hearts pass.

Inevitably, some who don’t belong will sneak in or the revelry in their hearts will wane. They’ll start to dampen the mood, spout common sense, or advise against a hilarious prank! At which point it has been your duty to boot them out before their negative vibes spread and threaten the revelry

Not all threats come from within though. Among the line you start to hear rumblings of something brewing that could spread far and wide putting even the revelry at risk. Trusting in your fellow Bouncers to maintain, you decide to go and look into the murmurs to ensure YOUR revelry DOES NOT STOP!

 
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Insight
Languages: Two of your choice (I intially put Dwarven and Halfling: one provides the ale, the other knows the best stuff to fill your pipe. It would be only natural to learn them for good relations. But then I noticed no other background is built with specific Languages in the PHB)
 
Feature: Bouncer’s Burden

Due to engrained mannerisms, pub owners and party inclined royalty alike can spot you according to your occupation a mile away. As such, you find it easy to find work from such people. Which suits you just fine, every party deserves a protector.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Personally, I just mix/match from the ideals/traits/bonds/flaws of the official backgrounds and minorly adjust them to fit the character I have in mind. I may think up a proper list of selections. But the inspiration for those descriptions is escaping me at the moment.

Here's at least an example of what I put in for the campaign I built this for. I was a Satyr (any race can be a bouncer though).

Personality Traits
Nothing can shake my optimistic attitude (drawn from acolyte. Fits a Satyr)
I love a good insult, even one directed at me. (drawn from entertainer. Fits a Satyr)
Ideals
Freedom.Everyone should be free to pursue his or her own livelihood. (drawn from guild artisan. Fits a Satyr mindset, but a lawful Ideal might fit a bouncer a bit better. Since they have to turn people away who don't fit the party profile)
Bonds
You were part of a prank that even YOU will admit went a bit too far. The patron has since left, but you fear the retalitation you will receive if see them during your travels. (adjusted from an Charlatan bond 1. Definitely will be in a final draft for possible Bonds for this background)
Flaws
I overlook obvious solutions in favor of complicated ones. ( Sage background. This seemed like a solid choice since a Satyr would always be thinking up elaborate pranks and thus wouldn't be the type to think of the simple solutions. It also works on a bouncer level, even if they aren't a Satyr, since they have to keep an eye out for party pranks. I think it will be a selection for sure if I ever think up 5 more potential flaws to select from)
