This looks interesting. Also, playing a criminal sounds like a fun thing to do.
 
Alright then guys, seems like a pretty clear vote.

Male
Semi urban
Criminal

I'll post the rules and subcategories in a few hours, but if anyone has any suggestions about the type of criminal you are, I'll take those suggestions and add them to my existing list.

For those curious, I have things like hitman, conman and gang grunt so anything along those lines are welcomed

You got involved in the crime game when you were young enough for it to not really matter. The law wouldn't punish you too hard, and hell, once you reached 18, it'd pretty much be wiped from your record, or so you figured. Thing was, what you were doing was only meant to give you enough money to get what you wanted. You never realised just how much crime paid! So, screw those white collar idiots working 9-5 sat on a chair all day earning pennies while they earned their bosses thousands! You began your criminal career as a:

Zombie apocalypse games are always fun. Being a criminal in this instance might be a good idea as well, have to find weapons somehow in a country that tends to have very strict gun laws.

reasoning for flaws:
-because i want all the stuff
-because we also need to get "some"

reasoning for the skills
-billiard player since our first weapon may be a billiard cue stick which is pretty cool
-collector, because we only take the finest loot
- paintball, because shooting others is fun!

@kaeim is Greedy -10 Charisma?

[X] Stewart Runyon

Gluttonous seems to go thematically with Cooking.
Car Restorer and Metalworking go well together to improve Craftsman skill
A leg injury seems somehow appropriate for a guy whose main work is driving around from place to place.
