List of Character Classes

## Overview

### Worker

Workers are large, strong, blue collar, rough around the edges types. Workers are not necessarily lowest on the totem pole. They are proud and sometimes powerful individuals, but the common trait amongst all workers is that they value labor, and they are not ones to shy away from getting the job done. The following lists some examples of the worker class:

* Driller- Operates drilling equipment, either for the mining industry or for scientific reasons
* Construction Worker - builds buildings and spacecraft, the largest and strongest workers
* Union Leader - leadership position, hero of the working class and advocate for all workers
* Pilot - flies spacecraft, and other vehicles like small rockets and high speed rails
* Security Guard - the closest thing the private sector has to marines, these are the only people in the solar system allowed to legally carry weapons

### Manager

Managers are generally corporate cogs in the machine. They are known for being out of touch, ass kissers, and accustomed to a relatively comfortable lifestyle even in the harsh environment of space. Not all managers are assholes though. It is possible to play a manager character who is willing to bend and stretch the rules to help others. What makes a manager a manager is their loyalty to a greater power (that of the corporation). Some examples:

* Middle Manager: doesn't have much political or decision making power, but still would do anything for the company
* Vice President: Super rich higher up, lives and dies by the company

### Tourist

Tourists are often somewhat out of touch, usually pretty rich, and don't often deal with danger or discomfort. They are not used to "roughing it." Tourists are well traveled, and have been to many places throughout the solar system.

* Missionary: a sub-class of tourist, missionaries have devoted their life to spreading their particular religion or ideology into space. They are concerned that humanity has lost its way (God created the earth for humans, and yet they are venturing out into space)
* Socialite: Socialites embody the opposite end of the spectrum from missionaries. They do not work, and instead spend their time traveling leisurely around the solar system. They live a pseudo-nomadic lifestyle, with houses on multiple planets. Others' impressions of them are important to them.

### Scientist

Scientists value objectivity and logic, which sometimes causes them to be skeptical of company people. They don't care as much about money, and are not usually rich (but could be). They are also known to be kind of scrappy, and a little pretentious. They usually work for a corporate R&D department, but sometimes work for a government entity such as NASA.

* Chemist: How can you turn trace elements in the atmosphere of Jupiter into usable rocket fuel? What's the best way to recycle perspiration into drinkable water? Ask a chemist!
* Biologist: Which nutrients do soybeans need to maximize vegetable growth in martian soil? Is there a drug that could allow the human thyroid to withstand the high radiation levels of deep space? I don't know, you need a biologist!
* Physicist: Could a controlled nuclear explosion be used to safely disintegrate a comet and extract its water? What is the most promising propulsion technology for interstellar travel? You're gonna need a physicist!

### Colonist

Colonists are sort of a Bear Grylls type. They are very resourceful, usually a risk taker, very curt, and have a bit of a superiority complex. They tend to think they’re a badass. They are the adventurer type, and they're always the first one through the door to face danger.

* Space Monk: a sub-class of colonist similar to the "monk" DnD class. These people are devoted to a specific quasi-religious organization, the goal of which is to gather knowledge and wisdom (kind of like a normal earth human monk)
* Maverick: A survivalist, who sets out on exploratory missions to the outer reaches of the solar system.
