The City of Figutives is a place of no natural light, where the air is much, much worse than just second-hand and where any living soul never looks up. Rooms, neverending chains of hallways that used to be streets between clustering skyscrapers, are now the human anthill. You were born in the dirt and blood, in the city that nobody knows about. The world was made to forget about this place, and so wish you. And for once, the fate decided you truly deserve to scramble away from Loup and face the real world. Did you escape going down the ruins of the civilization that gave birth to your hideous home? Did you escape finally turning your eye to the sky? That doesn't matter. You are now free, and you believe you are just like a newborn, ready to start your life anew, where no one can pull you back and lock in the city-cage.
- Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Survival
- Languages: You know Common and Loup languages. Whether or not you have the blood of psionically gifted people, you can also know written Deurese to an extent.
- Equipment: Set of common clothes, Explorer's Pack and a pouch with 2d8+1 sp and 5 gp. You also have a set of communicating bracelets and a plasmic knife (it is designed to turn off if is in the proximity of living creature, hence cannot be used as a weapon unless it's fixed).
The city has a complex system of criminal gangs that are keeping the city going. Someone must provide for the people, and you, of course, could never avoid to be either a part of it or be under one of them. What is your affiliation? Decide for yourself what role you played in the city or roll on this table.
You've lived your whole life in the city that the rest of the world chose to forget about. No matter whom you meet, no matter where you go and end up, nobody will ever have anything in common with you: your language and manners aren't known. Luckily, you don't have a problem to appear just like an everyman! However, people will notice that you're the odd one out and that you don't belong anywhere, and they, for better or worse, are gonna be interested and even fascinated by you. Your clumsiness in the society that has banished your people won't be taken too seriously as long as you can make up a story to explain this.

You are a descendant of tulagaur and you always have known you do not belong in the city. Everything about you screams that you must be anywhere, but here. Loup made you think that the world has abandoned you and doomed you and your blood to suffer, and you are oh so angry. Just like you must be. You seek for revenge to bring justice to those who made the crucial decision to turn once the City of Glimmer into the City of Figutives. People will often emphathize with you in your hatred towards tulagaur, and you are unlikely to be questioned for your strange language and looks.
