You grew up on the streets, fighting for your survival. Perhaps you spent your whole life there, one of the hordes of street children, or you may have simply found yourself there for a few years after some tragedy, but your formative years were spent coming to know the cobblestones, sewers and rooftops of your home city like few others do. Some run in gangs, banding together to help one another survive and run bigger cons and schemes, while others are inveterate loners looking out only for themselves.
