As a model, you have spent a good chunk of your career selling the ideas and products of others to prospective clients. Your well practiced presence is your highest selling point and you are paid to make products look good. Contracts with traders and merchant guilds to assist in pushing new products is how you used to pay your way through life.
You understand how to obtain people's interest and inspire dreams of grandeur in others without saying a word, though words do help a little. Through a mix of natural charisma, confidence, caring for personal appearances and practicing the subtle art of suggestive body language, you are able to inspire a more trusting and open atmosphere when it comes to pitching a product, argument or idea. You may not be a professional diplomate or an inspiring artist, but there is a reason merchants come to you to demonstrate their products and nobles want you attend social gatherings. You know how to make an impactful appearance and know how to stay looking good in almost any situation, so much so that many points of your career have revolved around the concept of looking the part that fits another's imagined ideal.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a disguise kit, a mirror, a vial of perfume, soap, a book of local fashion trends, and a purse containing 5 gp.
You are able to hold people's attention longer than most and, if you look the part, people tend to take small talk from you at face value. Bartering away acquired objects is easier for you if you have the object on your person as you know how to make the product look more impressive and appealing to the potential buyer.
Suggested Characteristics
Models have a very specific skill set, acquired through specific mix of natural born qualities and thoroughly trained social skills. Not everyone has what it takes to be and maintain the career of a professional model, so many models find themselves filling a very specific social neech. At once they are both admired and envied by those who don't really understand what they do to become or stay successful, so their treatment from others might drastically shape how they perceive the world.
