Troubadour
As far back as you can remember, you’ve always had a deep love for music, storytelling, poetry, and mythology. You have always had an equally strong desire to connect with others through the bonds of music and artistic expression. Even as a youngster, you were able to captivate audiences of all ages with your colorful and flamboyant performances. Through diligent practice, you have now mastered one or more methods of performance, be it song or dance or poem. Urged by intense wanderlust and the desire to see the world in all its splendor, you travel far and wide, seeking to collect more and grander stories wherever the path takes you. What is your standard performance routine? Do you typically sing, play an instrument, dance, or do all three at once? Maybe instead you prefer to recite or improvise poetry for your audience, or maybe you perform parlor tricks designed to delight and instill a sense of wonder. Are you inspired by whimsical stories with happy endings, by heart-wrenching tragedies, or by tomes of history? How do these inspirations appear in your performances?
