The Technician's Apprentice:
You were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to apprentice under a master technician at one of the busiest spaceports on Duro, maintaining and repairing a wide range of starships. This work, though sometimes tedious, afforded you opportunities to learn from a variety of technical challenges. However your desire for a better life led you to take a loan you couldn't afford. The experience has left you indebted to a dangerous loan shark, addicted to gambling as a means of repayment, and reliant on stimulants to keep up with the demands of your work. Now, you seek wealth and exploration in hopes of finding a big score that will clear your debts once and for all.

Loan Shark Debt:
Magnitude: 3
Description: Early in your career as a mechanic, you were offered an opportunity to become an apprentice under a well-respected technician. To fund this apprenticeship, you took out a loan from a dangerous loan shark. Though you gained invaluable skills, you've been in debt to the loan shark ever since. They're becoming increasingly impatient for repayment, and their threats are growing more severe. You're constantly on edge, fearing the consequences if you fail to pay back the loan.

Gambling Addiction:
Magnitude: 2
Description: You've developed a compulsive gambling habit as a result of the stress and financial pressure caused by your loan shark debt. You're drawn to high-stakes games and risky bets, always hoping for that big win that will help you clear your debts. Unfortunately, your addiction often leads you into trouble and brings you into contact with unsavory individuals. Despite the risks, you're constantly tempted by the allure of the next big gamble.

Stim Addiction:
Magnitude: 2.5
Description: To maintain your heightened focus and exceptional skills as a technician, you've become reliant on the stimulant Booster Blue. It enhances your abilities, but the substance has also left you addicted. You find yourself constantly seeking out your next fix, spending a significant amount of money to maintain your supply. Without Booster Blue, you fear losing your edge and worry about the withdrawal symptoms that can strike at inconvenient times.
