Backstory
Based on what the player chooses, there are a number of possibilities and backgrounds for the Cyberninja.
Childhood
Outlander
Born far from the Yokai in the slums of Luna II, the Cyberninja was raised on the stories and culture of their people. Unable to find implants to undergo ritual modification, they taught themselves and constructed their own.
This background grants Street Code.
Clan Tao
Child of a ruling clan on the Yokai, the Cyberninja's upbringing was steeped in the martial, cybernetic, and spiritual arts of their people. Though they wanted for nothing, they always dreamed of something more...
This background grants Formal Education.
Clan Megeta
Cursed with the stigma that the descendants of their clan are "untouchable," the Cyberninja's family strugged to raise them in the Yokai tradition. Unable to afford quality implants, they settled for what they could steal.
This background grants Fringe Culture.
Adulthood
Chimera Soldier
Rejecting the edict of their family to serve no master but the Yokai, the Cyberninja sought out Chimera BioPharma. The coredwellers balked at the Cyberninja's demeanor and ways, but their skill with a blade was never questioned.
This background grants +5 Reputation with Chimera BioPharma, +5% Accuracy, & +3% Damage.
Jiyin Biotech Soldier

This background grants +5 Reputation with Jiyin Biotech, +5% Critical Hit chance, & +5% Dodge.
