Human

"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

Tall, short, wide or scrawny. Fat or young. Doesn't matter. Crime doesn't discriminate, and bullets won't ask first.

History

Your RAP sheet is the only place where you should concern yourself with "History".

Society

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

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.

Female: Clover, Jezebel, Daphne, Sydney, Elizabeth, Bonnie, Jane, Eve.

Human Traits

They ain't nothing special, but they got a trick or two up their sleeve.
Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2. Another ability score of your choice increases by one.
Age. Humans are said to mature in their late teens, though you were plenty grown up before that. They're also said to die at about 80, and you're sure you'll be plenty dead by then.

Size. You're probably somewhere between 5 and 6 feet. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
A hobby. We all got something we do in our spare time. Maybe we even tell it to our friends. Maybe we even dream we can make a job out of it. Maybe. Maybe once this is all over you'll give it a shot. You gain proficiency in one skill
A few tricks. You don't live for long out here without learning a thing or two. Call it the wonders of society. You gain one feat of your choice.
Languages. You were born here, and maybe you listened enough in school to know something else. Or maybe you just flew over, and you can barely speak coherently. Whatever the case, you know English, and one other language of your choice.

3	Calm down!: Whenever anything happens, I'm who people turn to. Not because I'm smart, I just raise my voice first.
