You weren't just someone hurt, hurt, abandoned to die, you were someone weird, weird, someone broken.
Maybe you're so ugly or bizarre that people end up taking pity on you, keeping you around as a macabre attraction. Either way, you are part of the freak show!
Whatever your freak is, you have learned to use it to your advantage and have become a powerful attraction in the circus of horrors, traveling and raving about people like you and those who see you as a pitiful monster. You are far from deserving pity, in fact you have fantastic and unique abilities that can mesmerize an audience and if used to more specific means..who knows what you would be capable of?
Feature: Strength of the Freak
You lived or still live in the midst of people like you, given to the fringes of society as freaks.
These people have a lot of love and love for their fellow men and they will do anything to help you, from providing shelter and food (albeit precarious) to hiding a body, but will excite in helping those who are not freaks.
Suggested Characteristics
The freak show artist has to be able to capture and catch the audience's attention, so they tend to have quirky personalities that blend in with their "freaks" and make them unique. Their performances meet all demands, from nobles to wretches who want to see freaks.
