This article provides one suggestion for character-type roleplaying. Please see the main Roleplaying article for contribution guidelines.

Entertain the citizens of Cyrodiil as a profession. You should dress up in elaborate, amusing, and ridiculous looking clothes (not armor)--things that will draw attention to you. Go into the cities (the Imperial City Market District, the center of Bruma, and the center of Leyawiin are all good choices) during the middle of the day(12:00-3:00). Fast travel: you don't wander through the wilderness, you only do shows.

• You should develop routines of things you will do. Add these ideas to your performances.
  • Acrobatics: jump off high buildings and live, much to amazement of the crowd below.
  • Enchant fire resistance to your clothes (preferably bright red robes) and set yourself on fire. Enchant your clothes to deal fire damage as well as resist fire, or just run through castle fires. Run around in front of people and astound them with this.
  • Summon Daedra to terrify the audience, then attack and kill them with Destruction magic.
  • Be a jackass: run around naked in front of the guards and the counts, get everyone to laugh.
  • Pickpocket peoples' swords, equip them and wave them in front of people you stole them from, showing off your impressive sneak skills. Then, be nice and return them (just drop them on the ground).
  • Use Alteration and Illusion spells to wow the audience with illumination, telekinesis, opening locks, water breathing, mind control, and super-Acrobatics.

Find some way to take small fees of gold from your viewers (just pickpocket them if there is no other way) to pay for your show. Make up a name for your show too while you're at it.
