Life on the streets is hard and merciless. You have been given nothing in this miserable existence, except life itself. Everything you needed or wanted, you had to take. Without family, patrons or educators, you had to learn the brutal rules of survival all by yourself – and fast. In the faceless masses of the cities, there are always opportunities to outsmart a wealthy merchant or careless nobleman and relieve a few coins from them. Yet, no mercy awaits you if you make one mistake and get caught. Thieves loose a hand and for all other offenses death by the rope is to be expected. And there are the many other villains, beggars, thugs and thieves who are just waiting for a chance to et rid of you and scavenge your stuff.

You know your ways around the dark alleys of the cities, know where to buy or sell stolen goods, get into houses without using the door and how defend yourself against pushy guys. Whenever someone needs services beyond the law, you can help out – for a good price of course.
