Aura farming is the act of performing spontaneous acts to boost aura. At every possible moment since you were young, you have always enjoyed looking badass. Your self worth, your physical, mental, and arcane performance relies entirely on your aura. This background has no skill, tool, or language proficiency bonus. You don't need it. You only need aura.
Aura is a resource that is used in place of XP for leveling purposes. Once the character with this feature passes a certain Aura threshold, they will gain, or lose a level instantaneously. Health does not reset to it's maximum during leveling. If the health lost from losing a level deals lethal damage, the character will fall unconscious at 0 HP, but will be stable.
Once per turn, any action the player takes can be accompanied by a performance check. The DC is chosen by the DM. These rolls generate, or subtract Aura based on the difference between DC and the roll. (ex: Rolling 18 -> DC15 = + 3 Aura / Rolling 6 -> DC15 = - 9 Aura.) Bonuses from feats and proficiency do apply to rolls. Rolling a natural 20 on a performance roll allows any roll it is associated with to be considered a critical success. Rolling a natural 1 will force a critical failure of any action it is associated with.
