You can always find a place to perform, usually in an cantina or spice den but possibly in a fine dining establishment, culture center or even a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

You are one of the grooviest beings in the galaxy. You are a professional musician, versed in the improvisational style of the outer rim known as Jizz.
Jizz is a melting pot of thousands of different alien musical traditions. Jizz celebrates spontaneity, groove and experimentation. It is almost always played in an ensemble band, but the instruments can vary. Knowing how to play with others, when to push and when to pull back, is the key to a good ensemble.
But Jizz is more than the music. It's about wandering the galaxy and living out of a suitcase. It's about playing the sleaziest cantinas you can find and having a good time while you do it. Jizz is the music of freedom and freedom loving people. Jizz is Life and Life is Jizz.
Suggested characteristics
Its said that if you have to ask what Jizz is, then you'll never know. It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is if you've got the groove.
