Made to Be Seen

You have never mistaken attention for an accident. The lingering glance, the sudden hush when you enter a room, the delicious awareness of every eye following your movement—these are experiences you cultivate with practiced intent. Whether through beauty, daring presentation, theatrical movement or sheer force of presence, you learned how to become the sight that nobody wishes to miss.

Work with your GM to determine where you first learned to command an audience. Perhaps you modeled for artists, performed in revels or pleasure houses, competed in spectacular exhibitions, served as the dazzling face of a traveling troupe or simply discovered that being admired awakened something powerful within you. You do not merely tolerate being seen. You understand how to offer yourself to an audience, shape its attention and transform admiration into influence.

Feature: All Eyes on Me

You understand how presentation, movement and timing direct attention. In a social gathering, public performance, festival, tavern or similarly populated setting, you can usually identify the most visible position from which to address or entertain the crowd.

When you deliberately create a spectacle, willing onlookers tend to watch you until something more urgent demands their attention. Performers, artists, models, heralds and professional entertainers recognize your practiced command of an audience and will generally share ordinary information about local venues, public celebrations, prominent patrons and opportunities to perform.

This feature does not compel anyone to ignore obvious danger or act against their interests.
