The World is a stage - or at least there are a lot of stages in the world. Traveling troupes wayfare between towns and villages to entertain and beguile kings and beggars alike, preferrably the former than the latter. Many are born into this life, other come and go to gain fame and fortune, or to get away from things in their past, but everyone brings a special piece of talent to the troupe.

Feature: Street Smart
You're good at identifying who's really important in town, and who's just boasting. You always find the right person to bribe or trade favors with to find a location to perform, a safe spot to crash down or even vanish from a town.
Suggested Characteristics
As part of a traveling troupe you live a life between cold nights in a draughty traveling wagon on the road and the splendor of banquets in the palazzos of the rich and mighty. But you always try to keep up the air of the eccentric, happy-go-lucky entertainer, while in reality it's often not below you, to help yourself to some extra payment for bad times, if there are unattended valuables around.
