You make your living diving in urban waterways - dragging for bodies, retrieving lost items, spear-fishing and generally scavenging. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. You like shiny things, and often find them. You might one day find enough treasure to get you out of this life - if the mercury poisoning doesn't destroy your mind first.

You've dredged up countless trinkets and treasures from the depths. Most precious metals and gemstones have passed through your hands and been sold on - you know the worth of things. Your eyes are trained to notice valuables at a glance, and you can determine the market value of most gemstones and treasures with a little inspection. You are friendly with a local jeweller or pawn shop owner who will take items from you, no questions asked.
Suggested Characteristics
The quiet and darkness of the murky depths combined with the poisonous pollution and human remains leaves its mark on river divers, shaping their ideals and bonds. A diver could go mad, get lost in obsession or the endless hunt for treasure.
