Background Idea: Success Story
« on: September 10, 2005, 12:53:14 pm »
You are a true success story. You started out life as a street thug, but through hard work, outsmarting, and not a small amount of brawling, you have moved up in the world to owning your own respectable company. A company that is actually doing quite well. You still remember your checkered past, but nobody else does due to some creative computer work on your part. You have been off of the streets for quite some time now, but you remain active. You have money, you have taste, and you have connections.

Primary Skills: Stamina, Athletics, Knowledge: High Society, Tech: Electronics

I'd modify this as follows:

Wealth: 4
Fighting Style Picks: 2 or even 3

just 1 pick doesn't mix with the past of street violence, because the actual "Street Fighting" fighting style costs 2. :-)

I want to leave the wealth at 5 as 4 is approximately middle class. This person is the owner of a successful company that has moved them to at least the upper middle class. They aren't pulling a 6 figure income, but it is a very healthy 5 figures.

As far as fighting styles, it does make sense to move it to 2. I think my thought was that they have been off the street long enough that some of their skills have faded. They are still in good physical shape, just not as quick on the brawling front.
