Miner

You worked underground, mining rare elements or energy. Life as a miner is hard, even with all the technology available today, and it rarely pays well. You feel at home beneath the surface, and have learned not to fear the dark.

What were you mining? Why did you leave? Who employed you? Did you witness any tragedy, and if so how was it handled?
