But with a twist.
I am trying to write up a character history, and my thought is that he joined up with an old order that sends circus troupe all over the kingdom, roving the countryside, entertaining the people, using acrobats, bards, fire-eaters, knife-throwers, sharp-shooters, etc. Really high end circus stuff. But behind the scenes, they are a secret society for fighting evil in all its forms, and the circus cover story allows them to travel around with relative impunity. (yes, I know this basic concept has been done a lot in tv and movies, but it's new to me so leave that part alone).
The problem is I can't think of a name for them. I don't want it wishy-washy, so something cool. Using latin, french, or 'olde' english would be very cool. The performers are all races, mostly CG, and mostly of what I would call skirmisher classes - rogues, scouts, monks, rangers, swordsages, etc. Some casters, but mostly the skirmishers.
OK, Playgrounders, don't let me down. Throw out all your ideas for me, none to be rejected out of hand. Thanks guys!
