Paparazzi

Some people do great things, some people own great things, and some people create great things. And some people follow them around to report on every aspect of their lives.

As a member of a fantasy paparazzi, you have followed great people about your world, not just to the great moments of their lives, but to dinners with friends, home, work, on vacations, to the market, with loved ones. You use these moments to inform your view of these people, and to create rumor and innuendo about their time spent and actions. If you have the ability, you create still images, or recorded image, or song, or written stories, or verbal tales, to represent or memorialize the time.

You may not be the most popular person around, especially since you become very nosey about anyone or event which could become a good story. This doesn't mean people don't like you, as your own art has garnered you some popularity of your own.

Skill Proficiencies: You have proficiency in investigation to try and find dirt on your targets, and you have your choice between Stealth, Insight, Perception, Deception, and Performance.

Tool Proficiencies: You have proficiency in your choice of 2 of either calligraphers supplies, painter`s supplies, a disguise kit, or a musical instrument of your choice.

Equipment: You get your choice of calligrapher`s supplies, painters supplies, a disguise kit, or a musical instrument.

Suggested Characteristics

d8	Personality Trait
1	I do this for the money. Everyone has to work, right?
2	This is its own form of artistry. Someday there will be people like me everywhere.
3	Privacy? How selfish of you.
4	I have a conscience, and I try to use my powers only for good.
5	Someday, people will be following me for these very same reasons. I'm sure I'll be ok with it.
6	I've got to be honest... I'm more interested in the the pets of the people I follow than their lives.
7	I'd do this even if I weren't paid. I mean come on, I'm giving the world what it wants!
8	The best part of the job is finding all of the cool stuff people just throw away! I mean, there's so much that's still perfectly good, I can use, or sell it, or rework it, and it will always be tied back to a celebrity.

d6	Ideal
1	People have a right to know what happens in public. (Neutral)
2	There are lines I won`t cross when it comes to exposing someone`s family. (Lawful)
3	If I can`t find a good story, there`s no harm in making one up. (Evil)
4	Everyone embellishes a little. It`s what the public loves to hear. No one gets hurt with a little exaggeration. (Chaotic)
5	The good stories always make it to print. But the great stories I keep to myself, so long as the people involved can pay. (Evil)
6	I`m willing to lose a good story in the moment when someone needs help. (Good)

d6	Bond
1	I once saved a rather famous person`s life, who now owes me a favor. I`m cashing it in very slowly with a lot of little favors.
2	I`m very close with someone else in a similar trade, a printer, playwright, bard, or artist, who helped me get started, and who I look up to and idolize.
3	I`m actually the relation of a celebrity, and it`s how I get access to some of the information and places I do.
4	It`s a cut-throat line of work where you can`t make friends, because they`d steal the meal from your mouth.
5	I`ve got a devoted following that I must always keep new stories and information flowing to, for fear I would fall in their eyes.
6	The only way I get work is because of these celebrities. I owe my livelihood to them, so I must treat them with respect, and I work hard to foster good relationships there.

d6	Flaw
1	My artistic influence is easily for sale. If someone needs a lie passed off as truth, they come to me.
2	I may have ended up angering some otherwise very noble people, and while they may not have personally come after me, they have friends who wish to punish the scandals I revealed.
3	I have a knack for being at the right place at the wrong time, and now I know and have evidence of something that will almost certainly get me killed it I reveal it. A story of a lifetime indeed.
4	My devotion to the craft early on resulted in the accidental death of a universally beloved celebrity. No one knows it was me, though a small few may suspect.
5	I am tenacious, and constantly straddle the line between adorable and so annoying that people want to kill me.
6	It`s my first day, and despite my confidence, I have absolutely NO clue as to what I`m doing.
