You are a mixture of Entertainer and Charlatan.
You use your way with words to entertain, and you thrive in front of an audience and need attention to feel validated. You have a flamboyant, dramatic personality. You know how to entrance, entertain, even inspire others with your stories - and your humor cuts to the quick.
But you also use your words to get what you want. You read people and their desires easily, and you use that for your advantage. Someone needs flattery? Done. Someone needs the promise of love around the corner? Sure. You give - or rather promise - people what they need, and in return people like you and pay for your meals etc. Your skills are particularly useful when you surround yourself with people from noble, affluent backgrounds with power and plenty of coin.
- Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion - you can talk people into anything by using the perfect combination of flattery and (false) promises.
Performance - you can entertain almost any crowd.
- Tool Proficiencies: Jack of all instruments, master of none. You can play any instrument you pick up, but you do so badly. Your charm makes up for this.
Disguise kit. Survival has made this skill indispensable.
- Languages: Common.
Undercommon.
- Equipment: A costume, an instrument of your choice, a disguise kit, a herbal kit for medical purposes, and a pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: On the House
You can always convince people to pay for you or offer you lodgings by flattering them or offering to perform - your storytelling can adapt to any situation; a rowdy bar or a noble's court.
Suggested Characteristics
You come off as carefree, somewhat unreliable out-of-eye, out-of-mind sort of person. You are flamboyant and genuinely curious, but your obsessions change regularly. For this reason, you play many different instruments, but you don't play a single instrument well. Your charm makes up for that. You also change your own backstory and even your clan name regularly, and some suspect this is simply to make yourself appear more interesting than you really are.
This is not actually the case. You *do* care deep down, but you have deep-seated trust issues and use humor and stories to keep everyone at arm's length. Your formative years were in fact spent with abusive parents or under other unsafe conditions, and so pure survival instincts taught you to read people and say what they want to hear. Your rough childhood is also why you learned a bit of medical magic.
