Ace Driver

If it’s got wheels or wings, you can drive it. Your background may lend itself to a particular type of transport, but your natural talent lets you operate any vehicle with an almost instinctive aptitude. These Focus benefits do not apply to drone piloting, however.

Level 1: Gain Drive as a bonus skill. You have “acquired” vehicles worth no more than the budget given on page 18, and can replace lost or destroyed gear at a rate of $10,000 per week. Once per scene, as an Instant action, reroll a failed skill check related to driving or vehicle maintenance and repair

Level 2: Gain Fix as a bonus skill. The Speed of a vehicle you drive is increased by 1 point. Once per vehicle, you can add a mod to it for free, ignoring money and experimental component costs. Only you can effectively operate this mod, but it requires no Maintenance. You can change this free mod with a week of downtime.

Ace Drive

2

Alert

You are keenly aware of your surroundings and virtually impossible to take unaware. You have an instinctive alacrity of response that helps you act before less wary persons can think to move

Level 1: Gain Notice as a bonus skill. You cannot be surprised, nor can others use the Execution Attack option on you. When your group rolls initiative, your vigilance allows them to roll twice and take the higher roll.

Level 2: In addition to the benefits of level 1, you always act first in a combat round unless someone else involved is also this Alert.

Alert

3

All Natural

Your mind and body are superbly gifted, but this very excellence leaves you profoundly incompatible with most cyber. You cannot accept implants except for minor cosmetic ones with an unmodified System Strain cost of zero. If a GM is mixing rules from multiple Without Number games, this Focus should not be allowed unless cyberware is expected equipment for all PCs. If you’re using the deluxe version rules for magic, PCs with magical or psychic Edges such as Spellcaster, Summoner, or Graced cannot take this Focus.

Level 1: Gain any skill as a bonus skill. Pick an attribute; its modifier increases by +1, up to a maximum of +3. You can make another such attribute pick at levels 3, 5, 7, and 10, choosing the same attribute or a different one. While you can still suffer Traumatic Hits, you never suffer major injuries

All Natural

4

Armsmaster

You have an unusual competence with thrown weapons and melee attacks. This Focus’ benefits do not apply to unarmed attacks or non-thrown projectile weapons. This Focus’ bonuses also don’t stack with Deadeye or other Foci that add a skill’s level to your damage or Shock

Level 1: Gain Stab as a bonus skill. You can Ready a Stowed melee or thrown weapon as an Instant action. You may add your Stab skill level to a melee or thrown weapon’s damage roll or Shock damage, assuming it has any to begin with.

Level 2: The Shock from your melee attacks always treats the target as if they have AC 10. Gain a +1 bonus to hit with all thrown or melee attacks.

Armsmaster

5

Assassin

You are practiced at sudden murder, and have certain advantages in carrying out an Execution Attack

Level 1: Gain Sneak as a bonus skill. You can conceal an object no larger than a knife or pistol from anything less invasive than a strip search, including normal weapon detection devices. You can draw or produce this object as an On Turn action, and your point-blank ranged attacks made from surprise with it cannot miss the target

Level 2: You can take a Move action on the same round as you make an Execution Attack, closing rapidly with a target before you attack. You may split this Move action when making an Execution Attack, taking part of it before you murder your target and part of it afterwards. This movement happens too quickly to alert a victim or to be hindered by bodyguards not directly in your path.

Assassin

6

Authority

You have an uncanny kind of charisma about you, one that makes others instinctively follow your instructions and further your causes. Where this Focus refers to followers, it means NPCs who have voluntarily chosen to be in your service. PCs never count as followers

Level 1: Gain Lead as a bonus skill. Once per day, you can make a request from an NPC who is not openly hostile to you, rolling a Cha/Lead skill check at a difficulty of the NPC’s Morale score. If you succeed, they will comply with the request, provided it is not harmful or very uncharacteristic.

Level 2: Those who follow you are fired with confidence. Any NPC being directly led by you gains a Morale and hit roll bonus equal to your Lead skill and a +1 bonus on all skill checks. Your followers will not act against your interests unless under extreme pressure.

Authority

7

Close Combatant

You’ve had all too much practice at close-in fighting and desperate struggles with pistol or blade. You’re extremely skilled at avoiding injury in melee combat, and at level 2 you can dodge through a melee scrum without fear of being knifed in passing.

Level 1: Gain any combat skill as a bonus skill. You can use pistol-sized ranged weapons in melee without suffering penalties for the proximity of melee attackers. You ignore Shock damage from melee assailants, even if you’re unarmored at the time

Level 2: The Shock damage from your melee attacks treats all targets as if they were AC 10. The Fighting Withdrawal combat action is treated as an On Turn action for you and can be performed freely

Close Combatant

8

Cyberdoc

Any skilled medic can implant and maintain cyber systems, but you have a special aptitude for the work.

Level 1: Gain Fix and Heal as bonus skills. You start play with a cyberdoc kit, and you can implant cyberware even if your Heal skill is level-0. You gain a +2 bonus on all cyber implant surgery skill checks. If you perform cyber maintenance for a person, the delicacy of your adjustments decreases the total System Strain cost of their implants by one point until their next maintenance interval.

Level 2: The quality of your cyber maintenance improves; the System Strain decrease is equal to two points now instead of one. You never fail to install cyberware correctly. Once per patient, you can build and install a cyber modification to a system as described on page 74 without any cost in money or experimental components, assuming you have the requisite skill levels to build it.

Cyberdoc

9

Diplomat

You know how to get your way in personal negotiations, and can manipulate the attitudes of those around you. Even so, while smooth words are versatile, they’ll only work if your interlocutor is actually willing to listen to you.

Level 1: Gain Talk as a bonus skill. You speak all the languages common to the city and can learn new ones to a workable level in a week, becoming fluent in a month. Reroll 1s on any skill check dice related to negotiation or diplomacy.

Level 2: Gain Talk as a bonus skill. You speak all the languages common to the city and can learn new ones to a workable level in a week, becoming fluent in a month. Reroll 1s on any skill check dice related to negotiation or diplomacy.

Diplomat

10

Drone Pilot

While anyone can drive a drone under casual circumstances, your knack for it is something unusual.

Level 1: Gain Drive and Fix as bonus skills. You acquire or start play with a Remote Control Unit cybersystem and its installation. Through connections, scavenging, and parts repurpose, you have free drones and their weapons and fittings worth no more than the budget given on page 18. You can repair these drones without needing spare parts, and destroyed drones can be replaced with a week’s work. You always have the equivalent of a drone repair kit on you at no Encumbrance cost.

Level 2: You can use the Assume Command drone action once per round as an On Turn action. Once per scene, gain a bonus Main Action to command a drone. Any drones you control gain a +2 bonus to their hit rolls, whether or not you’re personally firing their weaponry.

Drone Pilot

11

Deadeye

You have a gift with ranged weapons. While this talent most commonly applies to guns, it is also applicable to thrown weapons or other ranged weapons that can be used with the Shoot skill. For thrown weapons, you can’t use the benefits of the Armsmaster Focus at the same time as Deadeye

Level 1: Gain Shoot as a bonus skill. You can Ready a Stowed ranged weapon as an Instant action. You may use a rifle or two-handed ranged weapon even when an enemy is within melee range, albeit at a -4 hit penalty. You may add your Shoot skill level to a ranged weapon’s damage roll.

Level 2: You can reload guns, crossbows, or other slow-loading weapons as an On Turn action, provided they don’t take more than a round to reload. You can use ranged weapons of any size in melee without penalty. Once per scene, as an On Turn action when target shooting at an inanimate, non-creature target, you automatically hit unless you roll a 2 on your Shoot skill check or the shot is physically impossible.

Deadeye

12

Expert Programmer

A skilled hacker can program their own utilities, but you take this expertise far beyond the norm.

Level 1: Gain Program as a bonus skill. You can create and maintain an additional number of program elements equal to your character level+2, split among Verbs and Subjects as you see fit as explained on page 96. You can change your choices with a week’s work. Once per day, as an On Turn action, you can make an on-the-fly edit to a Subject program element to turn it into any other Subject program element you need. The element remains altered until you change it again.

Level 2: Your programs are exceedingly efficient. Any program elements you write take up only half the usual Memory. A cyberdeck you use gains a CPU bonus equal to your Program skill level.

Expert Programmer

13

Healer

Healing comes naturally to you, and you’re particularly gifted at preventing the quick bleed-out of wounded allies and comrades.

Level 1: Gain Heal as a bonus skill. You may attempt to stabilize one mortally-wounded adjacent person per round as an On Turn action. When rolling Heal skill checks, roll 3d6 and drop the lowest die.

Level 2: Pharmaceuticals or other technological healing devices applied by you heal twice as many hit points as normal. Using only basic medical supplies, you can heal 1d6+Heal skill hit points of damage to every injured or wounded person in your group with ten minutes of first aid spread among them. Such healing adds no System Strain, but can be applied to a given target only once per day.

Healer

14

Henchkeeper

You have a distinct knack for picking up lost souls who willingly do your bidding. You might induce them with promises of money, power, excitement, sex, or some other prize that you may or may not eventually grant. A henchman obtained with this Focus will serve in loyal fashion until clearly betrayed or placed in unacceptable danger. Henchmen are not “important” people, and are usually marginal sorts, criminals, the desperate, or other persons with few options.

You can use more conventional pay or inducements to acquire additional henchmen, but these extra hirelings are no more loyal or competent than your pay and treatment can purchase.

Leavel 1:  Gain Lead as a bonus skill. You can acquire henchmen within 24 hours of arriving in a community, assuming anyone is suitable hench material. These henchmen will not fight except to save their own lives, but will go with you on missions and risk great danger to help you. Most corper henchmen will have 5 HP, a +0 attack bonus, and a Morale of 7, plus whatever gear they’re given. Slum-dwellers and other natives of harsh societies will fight as Street Thugs per page 188 if pressed. You can have one henchmen at a time for every three character levels you have, rounded up. You can release henchmen with no hard feelings at any plausible time and pick them back up later should you be without a current henchman

Level 2: Your henchmen are remarkably loyal and determined, and will fight for you against anything but clearly overwhelming odds. Whether through natural competence or their devotion to you, they’re treated as a Basic Corp Security from page 186. You can make faithful henchmen out of skilled and highly-capable NPCs, but this requires that you actually have done them some favor or help that would reasonably earn such fierce loyalty.

Henchkeeper

15

Many Faces

You have multiple usable identities registered with corporate and governmental databases. These identities are so deeply embedded in the systems that they’re almost impossible to pry out unless you do something to compromise them.

Level 1: Level 1: Gain Sneak as a bonus skill. You can maintain one alternate identity at a time per three character levels, rounded up. These identities have their own names, backgrounds, criminal records, financial dealings, and bank accounts, and will register as authentic to all normal corporate and governmental checks. If an identity is compromised or you want a different one, you can replace it with a week’s work. False identities cannot be important people or involve corporations you don’t have a Contact in already

Many Faces

16

Pop Idol

Whether a street musician, graffiti artist, underground journalist, cam girl, folk singer, or Robin Hood-esque thief, you have a devoted following of enthusiasts who are willing to help you when you need them

Level 1: Gain Perform as a bonus skill. Once per game week, with an hour or so of messaging, you can mobilize about a hundred of your fans to perform some act of your choice, provided it’s no more than mildly criminal or slightly dangerous. Flash mobs, getaway drivers, scouting reports, tailing people, or instant parties might all qualify as services. Your fans don’t have any special skills, but they’ll do anything ordinary workers or civilians could do. If you mobilize them for donations or merch purchases, you get $1,000 per character level, doubled at fifth level and quadrupled at tenth. You can’t mobilize them to buy your content more than once per month.

Level 2: You can mobilize up to a hundred fans per character level, though major mobs are likely to draw a law enforcement response. You’ve cultivated fan leaders who can pass along your wishes deniably, concealing your involvement in the crowd. Your donation and merch earning amounts double. Your Charisma modifier increases by +1, to a maximum of +2.

Pop Idol

17

Roamer

You might be a footloose bum with a knack for stowing aboard cargo shipments, a hard-bitten outlander smuggler, or a restless seeker of the horizon. Either way, you’ve seen more of the world with your own two eyes than any common corper ever will.

Level 1: Gain Survive and Drive as bonus skills. You have conversational skill in all common languages spoken in the region or city, and you never get lost. You have “acquired” one or more vehicles worth no more than the budget given on page 18. You can replace lost or damaged vehicles at a rate of $10,000 per week.

Level 2: Once per scene, as an Instant action, you can reroll a failed skill check related to safe traveling or vehicle operation, whether to fix a blown engine or talk down a ganger who doesn’t like strangers crossing his turf.

Roamer

18

Safe Haven

You have the contacts and expertise to find safehouses and bolt holes that no one else would think to find. You know how to persuade landlords into helping you for nebulous future advantages.

Level 1: Gain Sneak as a bonus skill. If you spend a week in a particular neighborhood, you can find or arrange a secure safe house and the on-call assistance of a local cyberdoc or medic willing to perform emergency care for no more than you can afford to pay. This safe house will always go unnoticed unless you are at Heat 8+ or specifically compromise it; even in that case, it will remain undiscovered for at least 24 hours if you can get to it without being followed. If a safe house is burnt, you can find a new one with another week’s work. A PC can’t have more safe houses active at once than their character level

Level 2: Your safe houses are actively protected by the local authorities, be they gang members, paid-off cops, or cooperative corp security. Provided you don’t make them angry, they’ll defend you from most ordinary degrees of pursuit. You can find safe havens geared with the equivalent of tech workshops or level one cyberclinics

Safe Haven

19

Shocking Assault

You’re extremely dangerous to enemies around you. The ferocity of your melee attacks stresses and distracts enemies even when your blows don’t draw blood.

Level 1: Gain Punch or Stab as a bonus skill. The Shock damage of your weapon treats all targets as if they were AC 10, assuming your weapon is capable of harming the target in the first place and the target is not immune to Shock

Level 2: In addition, you gain a +2 bonus to the Shock damage rating of all melee weapons and unarmed attacks that do Shock. As usual, regular hits never do less damage than this Shock would do.

Shocking Assault

20

Sniper’s Eye

You are an expert at placing a bullet or arrow on an unsuspecting target. These special benefits only apply when making an Execution Attack with a gun, bow, or thrown weapon

Level 1: Gain Shoot as a bonus skill. When making a skill check for a ranged Execution Attack or target shooting, roll 3d6 and drop the lowest die.

Level 2: You don’t miss ranged Execution Attacks. A target hit by one takes a -4 penalty on the Physical saving throw to avoid immediate mortal injury. Even if the save is successful, the target takes double the normal damage inflicted by the attack.

21

Specialist

You are remarkably talented at a particular skill. Whether a marvelous cat burglar, a natural athlete, a brilliant engineer, or some other savant, your expertise is extremely reliable. You may take this Focus more than once for different skills

Level 1: Gain a non-combat skill as a bonus. Roll 3d6 and drop the lowest die for all skill checks in this skill.

Level 2: Roll 4d6 and drop the two lowest dice for all skill checks in this skill.

Specialist

22

Tinker

You have a natural talent for modifying and improving equipment

Level 1: Gain Fix as a bonus skill. Your Maintenance score is doubled, allowing you to maintain twice as many mods. Vehicle, cyber, and gear mods cost only half their usual price in dollars, though experimental component requirements remain the same

Level 2: Your Fix skill is treated as one level higher for purposes of building and maintaining mods and calculating your Maintenance score, up to a maximum of Fix-5. Advanced mods require one fewer experimental components to make, down to a minimum of zero.

Tinker

23

Unarmed Combatant

Your empty hands are more dangerous than knives in the grip of the less gifted. Your unarmed attacks are counted as melee weapons when it comes to binding up opponents wielding pistols, rifles and similar ranged arms, though you need at least one hand free to do so

Level 1: Gain Punch as a bonus skill. Your unarmed attacks become more dangerous as your Punch skill increases. At level-0, they do 1d6 damage. At level-1, they do 1d8 damage. At level-2 they do 1d10, level-3 does 1d12, and level-4 does 1d12+1. At Punch-1 or better, they have the Shock quality equal to your Punch skill against AC 15 or less. While you normally add your Punch skill level to any unarmed damage you inflict, don’t add it twice to Shock damage. If you choose to strike lethally with unarmed attacks, they have a Trauma Die of 1d6 and a Trauma Rating of x2.

Level 2: Even on a miss with a Punch attack, you do an unmodified 1d6 damage, plus any Shock that the blow might inflict on the target. Your Trauma Die becomes 1d8 for lethal attacks.

Unarmed Combatant

24

Unique Gift

Your PC has a unique piece of cyberware, an exceptional human ability, or some experimental genetic modification that grants them some benefit that isn’t covered under existing options.

This benefit shouldn’t be a simple bonus to something you already do; it should be a power or ability that gives you options that you just wouldn’t have otherwise. It also shouldn’t be used to simply optimize an existing character concept, but instead should allow you to make a character who wouldn’t make sense without this special ability.

It’s up to the GM to decide what’s reasonable and fair to be covered under this gift, and whatever they allow should be roughly equivalent to the existing Focus options in overall power If an ability is particularly powerful or the cybernetics are especially draining, it might require the user to take System Strain to use it

As a general rule this ability should be better than a piece of gear the PC could buy. The player is spending a very limited resource when they make this Focus pick, so what they get should be good enough that they can’t just duplicate it with a fat bank account

Unique Gift

25

Unregistered

Whether by unrecorded birth, database corruption, or sheer luck, you simply do not exist in any government or corporate database. If taken with the Many Faces Focus, your own identity is lost, but you can create others for your own uses. If this Focus is taken after character creation, it means your existing records have become hopelessly corrupted and lost.

Level 1: You have no government or corporate database records associated with you, and it is almost impossible to add any such records without them ending up corrupted or deleted within a week. Human beings can remember you, but they can’t rely on computerized records to keep track of you or your activities. You can keep money on credit chips or in cash, but banking or formal property ownership is almost impossible for you.

Unregistered

26

Whirlwind Assault

You are a frenzy of bloody havoc in melee combat, and can hack down numerous lesser foes in close combat… assuming you survive being surrounded.

Level 1: Gain Stab or Punch as a bonus skill. Once per scene, as an On Turn action, apply your Shock damage to all foes within melee range, assuming they’re susceptible to your Shock.

Level 2: The first time you kill someone in a round with a normal attack, either with its rolled damage on a hit or with the Shock damage it inflicts, instantly gain a second attack on any target within range using any Ready weapon you have.

Whirlwind Assault

1

Educated:

You may pick a bonus skill of your choice. Whenever you gain skill points from character level advancement, you get a bonus skill point.

Educated

2

Face:

Gain Connect as a bonus skill. Once per game week, whenever it’s convenient, gain one temporary Acquaintance Contact of your choice, describing them in any way the GM finds acceptable. You lose touch with this Contact after you use this Edge again, but you can use this Edge to connect with them again at a different time. You may also provide favors or payment sufficient to cement the relationship at the GM’s discretion

Face

3

Focused:

You begin play with an extra Focus pick. You may choose this Edge more than once.

4

Ghost:

You are uncannily elusive. Gain Sneak as a bonus skill and the Fighting Withdrawal combat action is an On Turn action for you. Once per scene, reroll a failed Sneak check related to sneaking or going unseen. Once per game day, as a Move action, move up to 10 meters without anyone around you seeing you move. If you use this movement to get behind cover, you might seem to vanish outright to onlookers.

Ghost

5

Wired:

You may begin play with up to $200,000 worth of new or secondhand cyber. If secondhand, you roll once per system for its defect and may end up with unusable junk. You don’t need to pay for installation and its maintenance is covered for the next two months. You can redeem this Edge later in your career by paying double the cost of the cyber you selected; if so, you can trade this Edge in for a different one with the GM’s approval.

Wired

6

Hacker:

Gain Program as a bonus skill. You may begin play with an installed Cranial Jack cybersystem, a scrap deck from page 75, and eight program elements of your choice among available Verbs and Subjects. Each round, you gain a bonus Main Action that can only be used to perform hacking or cyberspace-related mental actions. This does not include drone piloting or vehicle driving.

Hacker

7

Hard To Kill:

Instead of rolling 1d6 per level for your hit points, you roll 1d6+2. Your base Trauma Target increases by +1, turning the base 6 into 7.

Hard To Kill

8

Killing Blow:

Gain a combat skill as a bonus skill. Whenever you inflict hit point damage on something, whether by weapon, special ability, or any other source, the damage is increased by 1 point per two character levels, rounded up. Any Trauma Die you roll gains a +1 bonus

Killing Blow

9

Masterful Expertise:

Once per scene, as an Instant action, reroll a failed check for a non-combat skill.

Masterful Expertise

10

On Target:

Gain a combat skill as a bonus skill. Your basic attack bonus is equal to your character level, instead of the usual half level, rounded down.

On Target

11

Prodigy:

Pick an attribute other than Constitution; its score becomes 18 and it grants a +3 modifier instead of +2. Characters benefiting from the Underdog Rule can’t take this Edge.

Prodigy

12

Operator’s Fortune:

You may or may not be good, but you are undeniably lucky. Once per game session as an Instant action, when something bad happens to you such as an injury, a failed save, or a botched skill check, test your luck and roll 1d6. On a 1, the bad event is unaffected. On a 2-5, you somehow avert the consequences by blind chance. On a 6, it actually lands on an enemy or rival of the GM’s choice, if that’s possible. Only events that happened in this same round can be averted.

Operator’s Fortune

13

Veteran’s Luck:

Once per scene, as an Instant action, trigger this ability to gain one of two effects: an attack roll that just hit you is instead treated as a miss, or an attack roll you just made that missed is instead treated as a hit. This ability can be applied to vehicle weapons used by the operator, but it cannot protect against environmental damage, vehicle crashes, falls, or other harm that doesn’t involve an attack roll.

Veteran’s Luck

14

Voice of the People:

You are a rocker, graffiti artist, poet, demagogue, or other rabble-rouser with a considerable reputation. You gain both levels of the Pop Idol Focus and an additional Friend Contact related to your art.

Laborer

finding day labor where you can

You’re one of the faceless millions forced to make a living with day labor and menial toil. Small businesses without the capital to mechanize their work often enlist such laborers, finding it cheaper to discard the injured than pay a street doc. For many laborers, the distinction between crime and legal work is too small to be worth distinguishing. Choose a general line of work for your laborer, be it construction, dock work, trucking, or the like. When you roll or pick the Work skill, you can substitute another skill for Work if a different one more perfectly reflects your usual labor.

Bum

a hard-bitten street survivor

Vagrant, junkie, wino... sometimes “homeless person” if somebody’s trying to coax donations. Most in your situation are treated as nothing more than human detritus one step away from a welcome grave. Maybe you were born to a poverty indistinguishable from professional indigence or maybe some event threw you down from a better life, but you don’t intend to go quietly. Being a societal castoff in a dystopia like this one is something only the strongest survive for long. With the skills you have, you mean to do far more than just survive.

Bureaucrat

 for a local government agency

Somebody had to keep the wheels of government turning, and you were as good as any. The city governments may be little more than shells for corp exploitation, but they and their army of functionaries keep the power on, the slums contained, and some pretense of civic order in place. It can be a very lucrative line of work for those positioned to demand bribes and other inducement, but you’re going to need to collect your bonus pay in a more direct fashion. You know how the machine works, and that can be worth more than any sum of bullets.

Clergy

whether formal or informal

In the slums, people have little to rely upon but their own strength and God’s good mercy. Amid the desperation and desolation of the modern era, thousands of different faiths and sects have sprouted to give solace to their believers. Most of them are corp-sponsored marketing channels for selling spiritual retreats, blessed artifacts, and prestigious church ranks, but a few clergy still stubbornly serve God before Mammon. Such renegades are often thrown on their own devices, forced to collect their own tithes and deliver the Lord’s righteous judgment with their own right hands.

Coder

 grinding code for somebody

The corporate world runs on code, and you’re one of the people that keep it turning. High-ranking corporate coders are too tightly monitored to work as operators, but the ecosystem of freelancers, selftaught prodigies, and desperate climbers is always churning with new possibilities. You may be a true hacker, skilled at running code under the most stressful situations, or you might focus your operator skills in a more physical direction, keeping your programming knowledge as a backup tool for when your preferred weapon doesn’t suit the job

Corp Security

muscle for a local corp

There are people hated more than corp security, but most of them are involved in blood feuds, religious wars, or undying gang vendettas. You’ve almost certainly left the uniform behind, but you still remember how the corporate world works, and more importantly, how its security units operate. You might still have a contact back in the corp you left, or a special reason to resent them. As ex-security, everyone knows that you’re never going back. They’d never let you live

Corper

a faceless cog in their machine

Once one of the fortunate millions, those lucky enough to have a formal job contract with a megacorp. You were above the petty roil of subsidiaries, street shops, and freelancers that clawed for every day’s meal. Even the worst-paid corper could have something resembling a civilized life if they toed the corporate line. You didn’t, for one reason or another, and now you’re on the outside. This is not your world and these are not your people, but you’re going to have to learn to cope with this new life, because there’s no going back after what happened to you… or what it made you do

Criminal

It’s theoretically possible to live in the slums without breaking a law, but nobody’s ever seen it done. You, however, weren’t just a criminal by necessity. You were a criminal as a calling, as a profession. Doing what the cops and the corps and the gangs forbade was how you made your living, either as a thief, a con man, an enforcer, or some other variety of lawbreaker. You violated the rules that mattered, breaking the customary detente of fear that keeps the streets functional. You’ve managed to stay ahead of the consequences so far, but there’s no telling how long your luck will last.

You might have practiced as part of a corp-backed hospital, or served in a private clinic, or been something else that had a place in “good society” once. Perhaps you were always part of the street, a local who learned what was needed for their own reasons. Now you’re on your own. It’s not a problem, though; in a world like this, you’ll never lack work.

Drone Jockey

With as much lead flying around as it does these days, drones are a popular substitute for expensive, trained human flesh. Most drone pilots are corp-employed, running security rigs for corp facilities or keeping a border watch up on isolated regions. Gang bosses and powerful locals also have use for their services, as an armed drone is much less concerned about being shot than a human flunky is. You might make drone piloting the main thrust of your work as an operator, but it could also be a sideline for the job you prefer to do now

One of the lesser nobility of the street, most districts are ruled by one or more gangs. With enough tribute in cash and fearful reverence, a gang boss can hold the local violence down to a dull roar and make sure that thieves and troublemakers get dealt with quickly. There’s an endless need for ambitious, eager new recruits to handle these jobs, and if the mortality rate is high, well, nothing’s as cheap as human lives. You’ve had to cut ties with your old crew, either because they’re no longer around or because you did something that couldn’t be overlooked. Hopefully no hard feelings remain

Law Enforcement

Once one of the city enforcers, whether a beat cop, a detective, or a paper-pusher back at the precinct. There’s too much violence for the city cops to pay attention to anything but the most egregious street murder, and the only time they ever hurry is when big money is upset. Even so, a few idealists keep stubbornly trying to prevent their savage wards from killing each other with impunity. Maybe you felt that way once, but something happened that forced you to leave. The good news is that the street locals have nothing against you; cops aren’t nearly as brutal as the gangs are. The bad news is that you’re out here alone now.

If you were less fortunate, you worked for a subsidiary corp, or a freelance organization, or a community co-op. In either case, you learned how to deal with the friction that human contact creates and the innumerable problems that crop up in a world where destruction is so much easier than order. You’re out of things to manage right now, but you still know how to make something out of a whole lot of confused nothing.

Despite all the pollution, all the toxins, all the outcasts too violent or too crazy to exist within city limits, you made your life in the outlands. Maybe you were born in a dying rural town, or maybe you run contraband between isolated city-states, or maybe you just couldn’t stand living in a human hive any more. Whatever the reason, you know how to survive where there isn’t a convenience store every two blocks, and how to deal with dangers that don’t wear a human face.

For one reason or another, you’ve found it necessary to move on from that life. While you may not be as well-supported now as you were then, your familiarity with violence and quick death is something valuable to an operator.
