I'm trying to brainstorm a pen and paper rpg where you play as homeless people in the dystopian near-future of West Coast City

Modern hunter-gatherer

Rats and pigeons are viewed as a nuisance by most people. For you they're a food source and you're a very good hunter. That's not all, however. You know plants and can make primitive medicines, poisons, and salads from weeds growing in the local park and cracked sidewalks. You know p

Gainfully employed

You have a job as a mechanic's assistant, a store clerk, a frycook, a dishwasher or something else blue collar and low-paying. Not paying enough to get an apartment that won't immediately be ransacked, but every little bit helps. The cops won't hassle you as much and now you have a place to hang out where you won't get shot.

Thief

Five fingered discount finesse

Dumpster diver

When they say one man's trash is another man's treasure they mean you. Everyone can dig through the trash but most people find expired canned goods. You find diamond rings, working game systems, and mattresses that can be salvaged with a bit of a scrubbing.

Street performer

You can play a musical instrument, dance in an amusing way, or have a trained animal of some kind. Alternatively you're a bimbo with few clothes or are wearing a costume. People give you money for this.

Mooch

A mooch is something between a beggar, thief, and a scavenger. Someone leave their soda lying around? Yoink! Family at McDonalds didn't finish their burgers? Dinner! Buffet throwing away pizza? Not on your watch! Anyone can mooch, but you're unnaturally good at it and never suffer negative consequences for trying to take a little snack. No one ever calls the cops on you when you're trying to get fed.

Beggar

Anyone can beg, but you're really good at it. Looking cute, looking pathetic, and feeding sob stories are your weapons of choice, and oh how the money rolls in.

Welfare wizard

The system is broken, but you can play it like a harp from heck. You actually get the stuff you apply for and filling out forms is now not a waste of time thanks to your expertise. You can also fill out paperwork and legal documents for your friends and allies as well.

Hired gun

You can wield guns, but, more importantly, the cops and the neighborhood watch trust you and will call on you for help when someone on a shot of minotaur is tearing his way through a kindergarten. They won't hassle you and have a better chance of showing up if you call.
