01-10 Street Schooled: No formal education, instead all skills are learned from parents (if any) and on the streets. The character is not necessarily a criminal, low-life, or an anti-authority punk (but if they grew up in a big city they most likely are). Membership in a gang is possible (33% chance). And unless two secondary or a street skill is given up the character can barely read and write (about a third grade education level with no Literacy skill: 25% +2% per level).
In the alternative, the character could
have been taught nothing else in life, but how to kill. These characters are usually grown men or
women with little other knowledge about the world, except how one goes about
assassinating another. Most are barely literate
and usually have some sort of insanities or anti-social behavior (40% chance).
