Criminal

You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You're far closer than most people to the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of civilization, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society.

Feature: Criminal Contact

Suggested Characteristics:

Criminals might seem like villains o n the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honour among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.
