Arguably the most hated, yet loved typical high school & college-related clique ever. Jocks, to make a long story short, are athletes who are also massively popular, and tend not to be that bright. The typical jock is expected to be a dumb bully, taunting and degrading everyone around them while praised for their physique and accomplishment. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule--some jocks can be very nice, and use their big muscles for good.
- Skill Proficiencies: Your physical training has turned your body into your greatest asset. Take a skill proficiency in Acrobatics or Athletics.
- Tool Proficiencies: A jock's most important feature is their sick ride they can cart the whole clique around in. You have a driver's license and a car of your choosing.
- Languages: You were forced to take four years of language classes in high school in order to get that sweet sports scholarship. Pick an extra language.
- Equipment: A jock isn't a jock without a sport! You have a piece of equipment from your preferred sport (think a baseball or a hockey puck), a lucky charm or past trophy, a set of common clothes, and a wallet with 10 dollars in it.
While many athletes may play many different kinds of games, most jocks pick one sport to really excel in. Roll or Choose from the options in the table to determine which sport is your specialty.
