From the depths of the lowest slums and underground criminal organizations, to the highest of snooty empirical social hierarchies and raging ignorant nobles, there will always be one specific set of skills that never go unutilized for any working man or woman that decides that there be no need to hold it back: intimacy.
For better or worse, it has become difficult to remember just how long you've worked the profession; depending on the client, hours could feel like minutes or minutes could feel like hours. You, however, have gotten good at knowing which would yield which, and how to return the favor tenfold. The body has become your mastery in a way few doctors could say the same, and thus people became just as trivial to topple. When you control someone's most basic urges, it takes an impressive will for them not to be at your whim.
- Languages: Whether by personal training, or by being made to learn, to appeal to more customers, you learned a couple of some of the most common languages available.
Not all escorts go the proverbial "straight and narrow." Some only indulge the profession, some use it to get close to targets meant to die, some use it just to sneak some gold for themselves, and some, plainly, were given no choice.
Choose the route you've taken with the life of the escort.

Your profession means you know people, just as people think it makes them know you.
Criminals are kinder and more respectful; in their realm of understanding, enough escorts have died just from doing their job (no matter which customers they took) that pursuing this line of work must take some level of courage.
Nobles and their like, in contrast, are more dismissive and rude. Not that that's stopped you from getting your payout; they all pay the coin in the end.
Suggested Characteristics
Not all escorts are the same. Even among those that all use their sex for the same purposes.

|---|---|
| 1 | I've seen people at their worst; nothing surprises me anymore. |
| 2 | People are so vivid and bizarre, especially behind closed doors. They never cease to fascinate me. |
| 3 | Sex no longer phases me, so I don't bother shying from it when something catches my interest. |
| 4 | Sex no longer phases me, so most attempts to flirt with me are vastly uninteresting when I have nothing to gain. |
| 5 | I have a crude sense of humor. |
| 6 | I refrain from being too obvious. Mystery is important to maintaining intrigue. |
| 7 | Partying is the best way to get people to reveal their true selves, and I love meeting those selves. |

| d5 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fun. What's the point in living if you don't feel any joy in the day-to-day? (Chaotic) |
| 2 | Control. People's whims are easy to control, so why shouldn't I? (Evil) |
| 3 | Joy. The best of our gifts is the ability to share the world with one another. (Good) |
| 4 | Openness. There is nothing to be ashamed of about our bodies, and none should feel the need to be. (Lawful) |
| 5 | Casualness. We could all use a little more simplicity in the way we live. (Neutral) |

|---|---|
| 1 | I cheated my "middle man" out of money he believes belongs to him. I am still running from him and his influence. |

| 3 | My parent(s) are out there somewhere in the world, and they will pay for my life being the way it is now. |
| d7 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | An innocent person is in prison for a crime that I committed. I’m okay with that. |
| 2 | When faced with a choice between money and my dignity, I usually choose the money. |
| 3 | I enjoy the delights of the world a little too much. |
| 4 | I love prying secrets from anyone I can, using any means I can. |
| 5 | I let my need to win arguments overshadow friendships and harmony. |
| 6 | I can’t keep a secret to save my life, or anyone else’s. |
