Mercenary
/ Headhunter:
Although mercenaries and
headhunters are different technically, their skills are the same. After
all,
mercenaries are hired by
the military for assistance, but headhunters are hired to assist the police
force. A note to players
playing mercenary / headhunter characters, these people are usually loners
or
more self-serving versions
of soldier characters. These people often see wars as a chance to make
a
huge profit and the inter
species war is a huge cash crop. Also, these people prefer to not have
to
conform to a strict chain
of command and to have the choice to simply escape from the fighting at
any
time.

Police
Officer / Security Personnel
Alcordia's police force
has shrunken dramatically since the invasion. Several of its members have
quit to
join or have been reassigned
to the armed forces. Also, many of its members have been killed in action.
Because of the strong gang
activity, the police and Security forces fight
almost as much as soldiers.

The public professions include
the non-military day-to-day jobs of the general populace. Also included
in
this category are the thieving
gang members. Although these characters start out with little training
in
the operation of weapons
and in fighting, they have other useful skills (repair, medical, etc.).
They also
have much more freedom as
they are not slowed down by a chain of command or a clan caste system.
Repair
Officer:
A repair officer is the
modernized or, Politically correct term for
repair man. A repair officer, however, is often a worker for hire.
These people are trained
to repair and/or construct anything.

to some extent.

Gang
Members:
Gang members are the thieving
underbelly of many of the free colonies. These groups have a huge reign
in the large cities due
to a lack of police / Security forces in these
areas. Gangs have many older members now, so a 20-30 old gang member is
fairly common. There are two types of gangs: the normal (thieves/miscreants)
and hacker gangs.
Normal:
Your average gang member
will be considered a thief. These are usually the violent, un-educated,
free spirited scum or
thug.

Catholic
Church of the New Age:
The Catholic Church was
severely hurt during the appearance of the psionic cults. These "religions"
granted several powers that
the Roman Catholic Church just couldn't produce, and it was nearly
destroyed. However, under
the guidance of new leaders, the renamed "Catholic Church of the New Age"
quickly learned to meditate
and learn the powers of it's competition. Nearly all priests and "Sisters"
have
learned the psychic talents,
which are believed to be gifts from God. However, these precious gifts
must
not be squandered! Especially
in the time of our trial. The Church is almost completely in consensus
that now is the time of
Revelation and that these "aliens" are truly demons sent by the Devil himself!
While many of the Church's
members specialize in the area of restoration, a small sect of "Sisters",
calling themselves the Sisters
of Salvation, have begun to train in the area of psionic combat.

Friends
Of Humanity:
Before the war, this cult
was often viewed as a modern Nazi party. Their "Human supremacy" stand
on
all subjects earned them
a horrible reputation. They were infamous for using their powers purely
to abuse and torment other
intelligent species because "We were given our powers because humankind
is the chosen race, and it's our job to make sure the other beings know
that." However, with the advent of the war, this group has now almost entirely
committed themselves to destroying the Arrik-Ka. Now they are often heralded
as champions of good and protectors of the innocent. Unfortunately, they
still retain their racist views, and refrain from their assault on other
species only because "We have bigger fish to fry."
