Shrouded in the mysterious depths of dark alleyways, abandoned subways, and fetid sewer tunnels, there exist underground societies which practice the mystical arts. Street shamans come in many forms. You may be a psychic, a fortune teller, a healer, a witch, or any manner of practitioner of the enigmatic and arcane. While some may find your services dubious at best, and profane at worst, there’s no denying the demand for them exists.

Suggested Characteristics

The demeanor and fashion sense of a street shaman are far more important for their purposes than actually having access to otherworldly powers. No one will believe a guy secretly harbors a host of haunting spirits when he dresses and talks like he works part-time at a gas station. Establishing an air of mystery is crucial.
