Stripper / Exotic Dancer Image

You have made a career of risqué entertainment.  While others may merely showcase there bodies, you have learned the subtle art of suggestiveness and commanding attention.  You know how to entrance and even inspire others through physical performance, and your dancing can sharpen desires and quicken the pulse.  

 

 
Skill Proficiencies: Performance, Persuasion
Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, 
Languages: one exotic language of your choice.  
Equipment: A purse (pouch) containing; A gift from a former regular client (a signet ring, a vial of perfume, or two sets of manacles), a bar of soap, 5 sticks of incense, a costume (wearable as normal, or as inappropriate in public), an extremely revealing set of fine clothes, a small mirror, a whistle for emergencies, and a compact disguise kit.  
 
Feature: High Demand

You can always find a place to perform, usually in a club, inn, or tavern but possibly at a noble's court or festival hall or party.  At such a place or event, you receive free lodging, food, and drink of a comfortable or wealthy standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night.  In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure, albeit of a select group of the population.  Strangers will not recognize you, even in a town where you have performed, unless you reveal yourself to them (due to the costumes and makeup that you typically utilize).  When you do reveal yourself to people you have entertained, they are extremely helpful and friendly, either out of admiration or embarrassment.  

 
Suggested Characteristics

Exotic dancers are shaped by their exposure to nightlife and to the service industry.  Successful dancers have to be able to capture and hold an audience's attention, so they tend to have exhibitionist tendencies or have (or be able to fake) extrovert qualities.  They're inclined to be transactional in social situations and insistent upon personal decency in treatment of others.
