The Outsider
A character from this background came from a society outside of the galactic norm. The character is probably ill-informed about or completely unaware of the politics, customs, and even technology of the rest of the galaxy. They may be superstitious of the strange sights around them or embrace the wonders that they encounter.

Born Engineer
Some characters take to tinkering as children or adolescents, displaying a prodigous skill with technology at a young age.

Modification: The character loves to extend the usefulness of a device or program by boosting its abilities or giving it new functions. A character with this Motivation often adds new parts or code to the original item, ceaselessly fiddling with it even after its function is what most would consider optimal. Some individuals turn modifications into an art form — whether literally artistic, or metaphorically so — through clever use of technology.

Unfinished Business: The PC is working on a long-term project such as a complex computer program or a light freighter refit. It may be personal or commissioned work. While long breaks may be acceptable, the Obligation cannot be totally fulfilled until the unfinished business is complete, and it weighs heavily on the PC's mind whenever the character chooses to postpone working on it for any reason.

Bounty: The PC has an active bounty, earned during an attempt to expose the workings of a criminal or corrupt organization. The PC might have acquired evidence of the organization's misdeeds from data banks through slicing or other technical skulduggery and then attempted to take the information public, whether this meant presenting it to the authorities or broadcasting it via pirated HoloNet feed. The character's background and specialization can both provide additional ideas as to the reason for the bounty.
