Dirt are the lowest-level citizens of organized societies. They are essentially considered non-persons by the system, and they are frowned upon even by the Plebis, the second lowest level Caste.
They are rarely able to find jobs, and they depend on trash scavenging and any acts of charity to survive. Dirt are not allowed to live in houses, so they have to make do with makeshift sheds.
Slums of cardboard boxes house millions of people in inhumane conditions. Diseases and skin mutations are very common amongst Dirt, as they have to constantly live under the Sun. From time to time, the
Syndicates use the Dirt as the vanguards in their brawls, and those who survive may have a chance of entering the ranks. As they are sent to battle unarmed and without any kind of armor, very few see the end of the day.
Sometimes, people are demoted to Dirt as a result of a fallout with their local gang leaders. The gangs, acting on behalf of the Syndicates, will seize all the belongings of the unlucky ones, and send them to live on the streets.
