You knew from a young age that the only way to truly make people listen was through music. And if they're still ignoring you, turn up your speakers till their ears bleed! Rockerboys are the street poets, social consciences and rebels of 2000's. A rockerboy is not just a musician, but above all a rebel locked in a constant battle with corporations for the hearts and minds of the masses.
Society is corrupt, people are callous and hateful, and the man is always trying to keep you down. It’s enough to drive a person crazy, except the whole world is already crazy. This broken civilization needs rebels who are willing to stand up and scream at the top of their lungs that something is wrong.
- Tool Proficiencies: There isn't an option for instruments that aren't medieval, so pick two modern instruments of your choice to be proficient in.
- Equipment: A set of common or fine clothes, a musical instrument (one of your choice), a symbol of your punkness (mirrorshades, anarchy earrings, spiked gloves), and a credit stick with 1,500₵.
When you perform, you can always attract a crowd. If you perform well, you can make the crowd rowdy, or even make them start rioting if they’re predisposed to do so. Additionally, you always know someone willing to sell you explosives.
Suggested Characteristics
Punk rockers have a reputation of going against the grain of society. Paradoxically, this means that a punk rocker’s characteristics may be decided by the society they inhabit. A punk rocker who is not against the establishment is just a popstar. D8 PERS
