| d8 | Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am quiet, reserved, and focused on my work. It takes a lot for me to raise my voice or object outside of my job. |
| 2 | If I find an intact piece of technology, I'll be focused on how many credits I can get by salvaging it. |
| 3 | When I find myself in a trove full of technology, I'm thinking of a way to use them for profit. |
| 4 | I look down on people that do not like getting their hands dirty. |

| 6 | I am polite around my customers or patrons, though I am harsh toward my fellow Scavengers. |
| 7 | I am slow to trust people as in my line of work; it's every individual for themselves. |
