Never one too shy away from a fight, back down from a challenge, or decline a mug of ale. You frequent the bars and brothels. The local constable may as well have a cell reserved in your name. Willing to put in a honest day of manual labor, a fully criminal lifestyle is not of your taste, yet you can't help but be associated with unsavory types and partake in the occasional larceny. You would as soon start a tavern brawl as you would take up arms to defend against raiders. When not sleeping off the previous night's escapades, you are dedicated to a craft, which sustains your other indulgences.

Feature: Work Hard, Play Hard
You know the dirty, sweaty, bloody side of life as only someone who has experienced it can. Since you come from the ranks of the common folk, you fit in among them with ease, although they do give you a wide berth and are not inclined to interact. You can find the taverns and establishments where mercenaries and other ruffians abide in any area, as long as you speak the language. You can find work, legitimate or not, between adventures sufficient to maintain a modest lifestyle.
