Scout

Scouts are natural explorers and adventurers, full of curiosity and trained to handle the out-of-the-way locations where they often operate. Scouts tend to be independent, signing on when the credits are good and their skills are best utilized and tested. Scouts understand the lay of the land and the orbit of the stars. They know how to recognize danger, locate the basic necessities for survival, and tackle the numerous obstacles their lifestyle brings. The Scout seeks knowledge, tries to solve mysteries, and finds a path through the wild regions, often becoming a decent pilot, handy mechanic, and an all-around tough spacer along the way, able to protect themself from whatever hides over the next hill or beyond the most distant nebula.

Adventurers

Many Scouts become adventurers to see what's in the next star system. They pick up skills that make them excellent members of any team. They are usually the best trackers, trailblazers, and survivalists the galaxy has to offer. Some Scouts are scientists and researchers who learn the skills of the profession so they don't have to rely on others. Some sell their services to the highest bidder. More often, the adventurous Scout has a burning desire to embrace the wild regions of the galaxy and learn to conquer them- either figuratively or literally. Adventurous Scouts call themselves rangers, outriders, hunters, explorers, guides, adventurous scholars, and vanguards.

Characteristics

Scouts temper insatiable curiosity with excellent survival instincts. They make use of Dexterity, Intelligence, and their hearty Constitution, to dodge, spot, or endure the galaxy's many dangers. The Scout has an undying faith in themselves and their abilities that sometimes allows the Scout to call upon reserves of inner strength to get out of tough situations. Scouts like to be the first to Benefit: reach any location, although they also want to reach it in one piece. They can be gruff or silent, jovial or talkative. They are confident and brave, and they often appreciate the wonders that the galaxy has to offer.
