You have a particular favorite pastime that always gets your blood pumping and your senses sharp as a knife—getting naked in public places. Maybe you felt it was silly putting clothes on while you’re still wet after bathing in the creek outside of town and started sneaking there and back without any clothes at all. Maybe you lost at strip poker one night and got addicted to the attention. Maybe you’re a thrill-seeker addicted to the excitement of challenging yourself to get across town while having no shelter or clothing to fall back on except the outfit you placed at the finish line. Maybe the humiliation of being totally naked in front of fully clothed strangers (or friends) stokes your libido like nothing else you’ve tried. Whatever your methods and motives are, you are so dedicated to the feel of air (and sometimes eyes) on your skin that it has become a defining facet of your life.
Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Stealth
Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: A gaming set (one of your choice), a paintbrush, several small pots of body paint, a set of common clothes hidden in a safe place at least half of a mile away, and a wristband or necklace pouch containing 15 gp

Feature: Alleys and Quiet Streets

You have learned from long and sometimes embarrassing experience which paths to take through a town or city has few people and plenty of hedges, pillars, and nooks and how to spot these paths on the fly when exploring a new settlement. When not in combat, you and companions you lead are able to travel stealthily at a normal pace in urban areas.

Suggested Characteristics

Streakers have a variety of motivations and approaches to their nudity, but tend to be thrill seekers and inclined toward impulsivity. Regardless of background, vocation, or wealth, they tend to make an impression and are usually popular among those of a low-brown inclination for shaking things up and flouting stuffy traditionalist notions of propriety.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I naturally keep an eye out for places where I could hide or slip by unseen, even when I have clothes on.
2	I always aim to be the life of the party and make any event a memorable one for everybody involved.
3	I’ve spent enough time vulnerable and anxious of my own free will that genuinely frightening situations don’t really bother me.
4	I don’t like being ignored.
5	It may be weird, but I find that the best way to relax is the giddy, relieved laughter that I have after a very embarrassing situation. Even better if it’s not of my own design.
6	It’s so much easier to persuade people when you know they’re already ogling you and a bit off guard from seeing a naked person unexpectedly.
7	I’m quite demure and unassuming most of the time. It’s not hard for me to convince people my nakedness was a shocking accident rather than a hobby…the first couple of times at least.
8	Knowing a person has seen me naked (or is about to) is so embarrassing, but for some reason it makes it a lot easier to open up to them. Talking about hopes and fears is no big deal after that.

d6	Ideal
1	Self-Reliance. What better way to learn to trust yourself than a situation where you have nothing but your wits? (Neutral)
2	Integrity. A bet is a bet. There’s no point in it if I’m not going to abide by the terms. (Lawful)
3	Fun. People shouldn’t be so stuffy and repressed. Life is better when you can enjoy being lighthearted and ridiculous. (Good)
4	Eventfulness. A stagnant place is too dreary and lifeless. Someone needs to shake things up! (Chaotic)
5	Bonding. I’ve feel that nothing ties a group of friends together better than the excitement and honesty of skinny dipping or running around naked. (Neutral)
6	Fate. If the dice say it’s my night to sneak home naked, I’ll embrace it. (Any)

d6	Bond
1	I dream of establishing a holiday or festival featuring a tradition of streaking or strip games.
2	It’s not cheap partying every few days—and having to buy replacement clothes nearly every time.
3	I aim to outwit the guards of as many towns and cities as I can.
4	I want to get better on following through on my goals. That’s why I do things like lock myself out of my room naked so I have to go down and ask the innkeeper for assistance no matter how nerve wracking it is.
5	When one of my childhood friends died of an illness, I swore to live my life to the fullest. To Acheron with what hidebound fuddy-duddies think of me.
6	The most feasible kind of immortality is to be remembered, and I’m very hard to forget.

d6	Flaw
1	Believe it or not, I’m actually very shy.
2	If something seems thrilling I just go for it. This often makes for bigger thrills than I intended.
3	I’ve put myself in naked predicaments so many times I often do it without even meaning to.
4	I’m constantly doing my best to convince other people to try spending some time naked.
5	“I’m certain I left another set of backup clothes here! Oh no…I moved them last month, didn’t I?”
6	Getting off just isn’t satisfying unless I’m also afraid of getting spotted.
