You grew up on the streets, purely alone with no one to care for you. Having no one to help you meant that you had to find a way to provide for yourself - by hook or by crook. You fought like your life was on the line for food and drink and could never sleep properly, as you were keeping watch over your belongings. Soon, rooftops and alleyways became your home. Despite all the elements, you still stayed there - you had no other place to go - and became the victim of constant sickness. One day however, as you were walking down a street, you paused to search a dumpster and found not food, but a musical instrument or song of a kind. With your new find, you instantly discovered a hidden talent - music. You began to play on the streets to audiences, earning tips and donations from passerby ers. Rather quickly, you moved up from a Vagrant to a Busker. The rich who had once smirked and mocked at you now stood in awe of your talents, donating themselves. 
You begin your adventuring career with plenty of money to spare; Your wealth increases even more as you still play on your adventures in new places.

Street Performers are shaped by their lives of poverty and show business. They often tend to be driven by a commitment to the people whom they shared a life with on the streets or by a burning passion to find a better quality of life and payback on the sneering rich that ruined your life.
