I'm Looking For Someone
You are in frequent contact with law enforcement or other enterprises who might pay for your services. This connection comes in the form of a contact in towns or cities you visit: a person who provides information about the people and places of the local area. You know the edible plants of sandy wastes, and are able to scrounge enough food for yourself and one other person upon them.
Traits
