Cortex Prime: Urchins

DISTINCTIONS

ANCESTRY | WYRD | QUIRK

Distinctions are each always set at . You will chose one distinction that hilights your Urchin's Ancestry, one that highlights their Wyrd, and one that highlights a Quirk or peculiarity unique to the character.

ANCESTRY DISTINCTION

Urchins are orphans, unwanted and unclean, scraping by in the streets and sewers of the Stone City. Most come from one of the following ancestries. Others may be created with the approval of the GM.

Barbarian

To the north, Barbarian Horselords rule the Clanlands of the Sundered Steppe. It is rare that a Barbarian finds themselves in the Stone City, and rarer still for them to lose one of their young ones to its streets, but some few still find themselves among the ranks of the Urchins.

Barbarians tent to be tall of stature and uncommonly strong with little regard for the brutality of climate or weather.

Halfdwarf

Halfdwarves are often stigmatized, and many a Halfdwarven child finds themselves among the ranks of the Urchins. Halfdwarves tend to be stocky and tough and often brash.
