Rockerboys
There were these scum out there messing with the world <...> So I decided to put the heat on 'em and make 'em sweat. That's why I became a rockerboy
Special ability: Charismatic leadership
Rockers are able to sway crowds equal to his ability level squared,
times 200
You have a message, and you have the courage to spread it. Rockerboys
don't even limit themselves with music - dance and poetry,
performances of any kind that fill the purpose - moving the people,
opening their eyes to the issues they are blind to, and giving them
strength to act. Choose this class if you listen to the lyrics, love
attention and always have something to say

Solos
<...> I got into a dustdown with a local Booster lord. I flatlined him and went back to my drink. Within ten minutes, the recruiter from Militech came up to me and dropped a buisiness card
Special ability: Combat Sense
Added to all Initiative and Awareness checks, this makes
the Solo the fastest reacting perso in a situation
Solo is a new word, but the meaning stuck with us for millenia.
Mercenaries, soldiers, fighters, those who only feel alive, when death
barely misses them - or rather others like them do. Choose this class

Netrunners
Somewhere out there is a guy with half his forebrain burned out. I wonder if they ever found the body. I wonder if they'll find mine the same way...
Special ability: Interface
This Skill reflects the Netrunner's ability to manipulate
Interface programs, and is the skill used when operating
Menu functions such as Locate Remote,
Run Software, Control Remote, LDL Link,
Create and Delete. Other players can enter the Net, but
can't use the Menu
Netrunners are most often very young, but they move in the Cyberspace
better than computer science professors - because they are born into
it. They learned the strings of World Wide Web as we learned names of
the streets in our block. Choose this class if you are the future,
take ice baths over hot showers and have gigabytes of memes saved
directly in your brain

Techies
So you want me to build a delay switch into the thing? And you don't care about explosion radius?<...>No problem. If you can get parts, I can fix it. Count on it, choombatta.
Special ability: Jury Rig
This general repair skill allows the Techie to temporarily
repair or alter anything for 1D6 turns per level of skill
The heaven is made of the newest tech, and Techies are angels that
keep it working. With only a current source and some scrap metal they
will fix your car, upgrade your gun, boost your AV and make that damn
switch work. Choose this class if you like to sound smart, value tech
over people and want to build the future with your own hands

So get this... This metalhead breaks down the door, shoves my patient off the table and lies down. Massive gun in one hand, bag with fat stacks in the other, and bleeding profusely. Seemed tough, but... His implants alone bought me rent for two months
Special ability: Medical Tech
This is the skill used to perform major surjery and medical
repairs
When booster gangs happen to flatline a cybered-up gonk, they often
rush the body to a Ripperdoc. They dismantle the poor guy (or gal) and
pay the ganger generously. Ripperdocs that have some morals and prefer
his patients alive are called Medtechs and work in hospitals, implant
clinics and often - directly with mercenaries, as combat medics. Of
course, there is also a matter of Trauma Team - the most professional
- and costly - lifesaving service in NC... Choose this class if you
want to be Solo's best friend, know your way around a wound and love
fitting new cybertech in those who pay

Medias
They went right into the Central American warzones with the cybergrunts, and they got the story even when shooting was maximally fierce. That's the part I like; the danger
Special ability: Credibility
The ability to have people believe what you are saying while in
your on-air persona
Truth is a rare beast these days. Medias are fighting ruthlessly over
what remains - sometimes to present it to the people... but do they
even wanna know? It do be cozy in a corporate-issued luxury AV, and
bullets won't hurt you up here. Choose this class if you have an
opinion about fake news, ready to suffer for what you believe in and
can talk real sweet

Drop it, punk. I don't wanna hear your life story, and I don't care what Society did to you. I just wanna see that gun hit the floor. Now
Special ability: Authority
The ability to intimidate or control others through your
position as a lawman
A cop's a cop. What else to say... Whether he got feet on the ground,
or office toilet is the most dangerous place he's been to, we all know
what makes him tick - maybe power, maybe career opportunities, or he
just likes shooting people and feeling righteous about it - there are
no good people in the NCPD. Or at least that's the word on the
streets... Choose this class if you love the NUSA, kicking down doors

Corporates
All the money ain't worth frack. You play this game for power. The power to get things done; the power to make big decisions; to affect things. You make a phone call and the next thing you know, you are telling the president of some bushleague Euronation that he'd better play it your way, or he's history
Special ability: Recources
This represents the Corporate's ability to command corporation
recources. It is used as a persuasion skill, basedon the scale of
recources requested
In a world that moves faster than the government machine can, private
enterprise became more profitable than ever. The suits - corporate
suits, that is - would buy you whole, if only they deemed it
profitable. Choose this class if you can surf the warm industry, love
being a part of something bigger and dream to once become that bigger
thing yourself

Fixers
You make a friend - he'll take you in when the street's too hat, and they'll pass you a bit of datat when you call in the markers. But that's business. I got a slogan..."How much you pay me?"
Special ability: Streetdeal
The ability to locate people, information, etc. This is a
higher form of making a connection; instead of knowing only one
person, you have connections everywhere. In gameplay, a successful use
of Streetdeal allows you to locate and acquire a desired person, place
or thing
Fixers are the blood of the streets, and stability (like in
homeostasis) is a Fixers worst enemy - once the chaos is gone, his
services are of no need to his clientele. Clients won't pay if they're
dead, though... so a successful Fixers maintains a propper balance of
danger and safety, heat and safehouses, supply and demand. Choose this
class if you are capable of doing bad things for the sake of a bigger
good, understand gang wars beyond "these are bad people" and can get
away with anything

Nomads
Guns. Guns and cyberbikes. That's how we hold the line. We don't have a home except the Caravan. We don't have any rights except what we take. <...>There's kids, old men and women - families here. This ain't no boostergang. These people are my family
Special ability: Family
This allows Nomad to call in as many Family members to aid him
as his current Family Ability level x2
The Wildlands are surprisingly full of life. What seems like an empty,
windy desert to the unknowing eye, for a Nomad is a story - the Mono
hums to the north, fresh tyre tracks say raiders near, and that one
jackrabbit in the dirt means a good stew for the family. The city is
no different - ifnwhen a Nomad comes to town, the town trembles. It
may have something to do with big cam Cummins motor in every third
Caravan car running right outside the town, but the effect still
stands. Choose this class if you'd rather die than give up your
freedom, van life is perfect for you, and your soul is the stone your
principles are carved in

Custom classes
You can create custom classes too, but first - think, do you really
need to? Why and how any of existing classes don't fit your character?
Are you going to create a new Special Ability, or only modify the
Career Skills to better reflect your characters goals, features and
upbringing?
Once you're dead set on creating a new class - pick any 9 skills to be
your Career Skills - but remember, that they directly reflect the
career your character follows, be reasonable and talk to your Ref. And
coming up with a brand new Special Ability - your Ref has to approve
it and/or help you with it
