Patron and Sponsor

Skilled in the many forms of comfort and companionship, he used to offer his services frequently to a myriad of clients. No longer in that line of work, he now provides sponsorship and guidance to those who he feels could handle the spotlight. Willing to pay for housing, schooling, and meals while doubling as their mentor.
He is a protective patron, and will fight viciously to protect his investments. He is not an easy teacher, and expects much from those he takes under his wing. However, those that excel in his tutoring find a wealth of rich clients and the power to decline work in favor of choice.

Business Savvy

Keen eyes for making gil, he is swift to move in on a prospect to increase his investment. Knowing potential when he sees it, he is not afraid to step in to help another soar. Forward thinking and ready to immediately act, his offers are lucrative but only last for as long as his patience remains.
Frugal in both his time and money, he is not above speaking his mind when things shift out of his favor. Knowing just how to leverage his reputation, he does what he can to better the lives of those who work under him.

Entertainer and Companion

A talented entertainer, Myym'sae grew up learning all manner of singing, dancing, and performing arts. Working as a companion for almost the entirety of his adult life, he is a known and sought after name in various elite circles. Rarely idle, he maintains a schedule and practices regularly striving to always improve his repertoire of skills.
He occasionally works as a talent scout for the Siren's Call and is the capricious owner of the Auspicious Fish. His own services are occasionally bought for the rare private session, though rumor has it that he is exceptionally picky on who he performs for and where.A true to definition courtesan, he only deals with rich and powerful clientele. Powerful monetarists, high house patrons, politicians, and wealthy underground kingpins all appreciate his ability to keep his client list secret.

■ Jingle Bells: The sound of the Keeper walking would easily turn heads. Bells tied throughout his hair and tail, he is not easy to miss in a crowd.
■ Gifts, Compliments, and Praise: If at any point your character would do any of the above, you can expect instant attention from the man. Granted it would be purchased time, you would be getting your foot in the door.
■ On The Town: A busy body and a common face around the cities, he looks like the perfect target for a pickpocket to take advantage. [PST first, but I’m usually up for it!]
■ A Safe Face: If you are an escort, prostitute, sex worker, or streetwalker you'll find a safe space to hide from pushy clients. Walk up and simply act as if you know him and he will immediately understand and play along. His face is well known, so all are welcome to this trick.

■ Talent Acquisition: Always on the look out for new talent, he keeps his interests turned to all the rising faces common to street performances. Maybe his coin graced your hands, or you've found him lingering often to listen or watch.
■ A Generous Sponsor: While not open to just picking up anyone from the streets, occasionally he will glean talent enough to offer his skills in mentorship to another. Perhaps he offered you the chance once an you declined, or he paid for your safety and a warm room with a meal for the night. [PST First]
■ A little Devil: He has a sharp tongue and a vicious attitude when his own investments are at stake. Have you crossed him before? Perhaps you've witnessed him tearing into another for their transgressions. Many streetwalkers look to him for safety. [PST first]

Dancer
His preferred manner of dance is formal and flowing. A style similar to what you might find in Doma, he incorporates long ribbon and fans into his work.
On the road, he has developed other skills to entertain differing crowds. Under skilled performers he learned the forms of Ishgardian ballet and the techniques of the free-form burlesque found in Ul’dah.Styles of dance: Classical Chinese dance, French ballet, Burlesque

Musician
Being taught a music instrument is integral to their work back in his tribe. Learning songs by ear, he is not as proficient in reading scored music on paper. He can read a piece given to him, but to develop an emotional element he prefers to hear it played by someone who knows the piece well. He knows the keys to a piano, and has had training within the music halls of nobles. However, his preferred instruments are the ones he learned from the skilled teachers in his family.Instruments: Guqin, Guzheng, Erhu, Piano

Singer
With a speaking voice that barely rises past conversational levels, it can be a shock at how much force he can put behind his singing. The vocal chords to belt out enough volume to fill a concert hall, he is more comfortable singing for one. Emotion runs deep, but these days he rarely performs and when he does it's for small private groups. His voice is a delicate commodity that he is working to preserve as he grows older.Singing voice claim: 鬼卞 Guĭ Biàn
Comfortable rage: Tenor

Virtuosity
Calligraphy, the art of writing, is more a form of courting clients than a craft one would sell on the streets. A delicately written letter or a painted scroll, handed to clients as a parting gift, is most common.
Floral arrangements are another way to maintain relations, and to give thanks for a gift. Specific colors and blooms are chosen as a message to contacts with care being made to remember the differences in cultures across the realm.Skills: Calligraphy, floral arrangements, poetry
