The setting does rather demand that there is some causal chain behind events. So, being hated by all street performers
might be valid as a supernatural curse*, but I can't just throw it in without a reason.
Interestingly, though, the character
is cursed. Whenever he uses magic to conceal himself or alter his appearance within a 100 miles of his home city**, orchestral music will sound and a disembodied hand will point at him while a exasperated voice exclaims:
"Spy! Eavesdropper! Dissembler! Busybody! Pervert! Peeping Tom! Rogue! Blackguard!" and other things of a similar nature.
You see, he was shadowing certain girl for a jealous suitor when a gentleman caller who met with her turned out to be Alcides von Tighe, Archmage of the City. Our good Archmage did not take kindly to having his tête-à-tête spied upon.
I didn't give any points for it beyond noting the Archmage down as a Watcher-Enemy who doesn't give him much thought (6 or lower). I figured that the character would simply avoid that area of the campaign world.
On the other hand, it is a significant part of the world and the other PCs often go there.
Should it be worth some negative points to be pretty ineffective at your chosen pursuit in a large part of the campaign world?
*Though an awesomely powerful one.
**And the location of all his Contacts and Allies.
