"Average Joe" "sucker" and "piece of shit" are all synonyms. Some people are born one in a million, but you're like a million in one. The average of a million uninteresting schmoes in one. You've long since stopped caring about being special. There's more to life than what you're born with, and you're ready to use your skills to make your fortune.
Physical Description[edit]
Tall, short, wide or scrawny. Fat or young. Doesn't matter. Crime doesn't discriminate, and bullets won't ask first.
History[edit]
Your RAP sheet is the only place where you should concern yourself with "History".
Society[edit]
The biggest bunch of scum-fuck liars there is. It's like a bucket of crabs, if the bucket was infinitely tall, and had an infinite amount of crabs in it. And all the crabs hated and shot each other every damn chance they got.
Not like you're a saint yourself.
Human Names[edit]
You wear your name with pride. But if anybody were to honestly ask, you don't much care for it.
Male: Chains, Jimmy, Pablo, Martigra, Dallas, Potemkin, Houston, John.
