Performer

You are, at the core of your being, a performer. You left the comforts and security of your home to travel the world and seek out an audience. You may find a perfect tavern or court to satisfy your desire to put on a show, or you may be in a near-constant state of travel, always hoping to find new ears and eyes for your show. At the end of the day, you are most satisfied when you look over your audience and see amusement, laughter, and smiles.

Suggested Characteristics

Deep down you only desire an audience for your performances; a group to enjoy the work that you do. What is a performer without someone to enjoy the performance, after all? Maybe you're the type of performer that seeks the highest audience, that of a royal court. Perhaps you enjoy of a ramshackle audience, where you might have to skip town if you offend them in your show. You might simply love putting a smile on someone's face, or you may be after the shiny gold and renown.
