Sus the Hound
Details
If you want to be from a place considered “wild” by the rest of the empire, you could be from Severos. Outside the few Imperial settlements, most Severosi live in nomadic horse-tribes scattered across the blasted deathlands, surviving within the ruins of ancient arcane fortresses which still repel spirits.
A street urchin, gang member, young thug, or other outcast who grew up on the streets.

Special Abilities
◉ Sharpshooter: You can push yourself to do one of the following: make a ranged attack at extreme distance beyond what’s normal for the weapon—unleash a barrage of rapid fire to suppress the enemy.
◎ Focused: You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence of surprise or mental harm (fear, confusion, losing track of someone) or to push yourself for ranged combat or tracking.
◎ ◎ Ghost Hunter: Your hunting pet is imbued with spirit energy. It gains potency when tracking or fighting the supernatural, and gains an arcane ability: ghost-form, mind-link, or arrow-swift. Take this ability again to choose an additional arcane ability for your pet.
◎ Scout: When you gather info to locate a target, you get +1 effect. When you hide in a prepared position or use camouflage, you get +1d to rolls to avoid detection.
◎ Survivor: From hard won experience or occult ritual, you are immune to the poisonous miasma of the deathlands and are able to subsist on the strange flora and fauna there. You get +1 stress box.
◎ Tough as Nails: Penalties from harm are one level less severe (though level 4 harm is still fatal).
◎ Vengeful: You gain an additional xp trigger: You got payback against someone who harmed you or someone you care about. If your crew helped you get payback, also mark crew xp.
◎ ◎ ◎ Veteran: Choose a special ability from another source.

Hound Description
A deadly sharpshooter and tracker
There’s always a need for scoundrels who can find what others want to keep hidden. Whether that’s a deadbeat gambler trying to skip out on their debts, a treacherous informant or witness who’s going to squeal to the Bluecoats, or the trail to a treasure squirreled away in a secret vault—it’s the Hounds that ferret them out.
Why have a fair fight, when you can stalk and ambush your prey on your terms? The underworld is your hunting ground.
When you play a Hound, you earn xp when you address a challenge with tracking or violence. Take the initiative to hunt down opportunities and targets for a score and be willing to hurt whoever stands in your way.
Do you see the whole world as potential prey, or do you still care about people? Which target in the past gave you the most trouble? Why?
