Courtesan

Your home is the brothel and your people are the fellow paramours and concubines who reside there. You have spent your life learning the ways of love and companionship, providing services to people from all walks of life, race and gender. Whoever has the coin has your heart and body for the night. Though the nature of your line of work may put you in danger, for your kind are not valued as citizens in the eyes of the law, despite many officials benefiting of your service. 

Skill Proficiencies: From your extensive time with people; nobles, merchants, sailors, soldiers, knights and so on, you have gained many skills in the realm of courtship, conversation, flattery and manipulation. You have learned how to make people adore you, perhaps even worship you. Your magnetism has given you a reputation and many seek your companionship for that reason. Your way with people helps you make your companionship that much more enjoyable, you can be anything they need you to be; an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, a swooning minstrel. You can find out their deepest secrets and heart's desires in a moment of intimacy and vulnerability using your wits and wiles. 

Tool Proficiencies: You may find clients through work as a performer; a dancer, musician or singer. Showing off your beauty and magnetism to a room full of people may draw the kind of attention that can make you quite a bit of coin.

Languages: Your experience with many different folks from far and wide has given you the chance to pick up some foreign tongues which may help you connect with certain peoples who cross your path in your work.
