Smuggler (Cyberpunk) Image

You live in an unjust society, if you don’t work for a large corporation, you simply can’t stand up between temporary jobs and bad-paying jobs. The way is to appeal to illicit activities – smuggling is often the solution if you still have enough morality (or have no balls) to become a criminal.

Feature: Careful Selection

Some close brushes with the law have taught you that not every cop can be bribed, and some people are simply too keen to miss minute discrepancies. This feature allows you to study a person and gain insight into whether or not they would accept a bribe, or to pick up on whether they are exceptionally more perceptive than you. It does not reveal how expensive a bribe may be for a given situation, however.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Smugglers are a highly charismatic and highly diverse bunch. They cover a wide variety of personalities, ranging from the boisterous street hawker with a “special selection” to the burly sailor who brazenly sells his wares after bribing the guards to look away. Your traits should reflect the tactics you see yourself using.
