Freelancer

Do you have a scumbag that needs killing? A vault that needs cracking? Illegal product that needs moving? Bodies that need guarding? There are numerous specialists looking for
work on a contractual or contingent basis, often without the more official aspects of work, like documentation or benefits. They go by many names: freelancers, mercenaries, consultants, and other, less reputable titles. Freelancers can find work by many means. A smart freelancer will have fixers looking to setup jobs for a small cut, while others may have to advertise their services on digital or physical black markets. It can be dirty, dehumanizing, and often dangerous work, but someone has to do it. Well, maybe some of the crimes you've committed didn't have to be done, but you gotta make a living somehow.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Deception, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Persuasion, Stealth

Tool Proficiencies: One vehicle proficiency or hacking tools

Languages: One of your choice

Equipment: A set of common clothes, a smartphone, a trophy from a previous job, and a credit stick with 2,000₵.
