Simple Balanced Starts

This mod adds 7 starting options to the game, each one designed to fit well with the preexisting vanilla options.

The starts are:


"
When you lost your arm to those flesh eating maniacs, you thought it was the end. Your experience in combat didn't hold up to the sheer numbers you were against. It was only thanks to the valiant efforts of the cannibal hunters that saved you that you live to this day.

Having recently recovered, you wonder where you could go from here.

"
As a citizen of the Holy Nation, you chose to become a mercenary to help protect others while making some cats. Sadly, your client led you and your crew into a skimmer nest, and only you were lucky enough to make it away alive, albeit sustaining some injuries.
"


"
Being naive, you went south into the outlands looking for the mystical city Spring. You managed to pick up roughly where it is, but sadly before you reached the town a bunch of bandits crippled both your legs since they thought it was funny.

Now you're stranded in bandit territory with two broken legs and a ways to go to Spring. You didn't envision things playing out this way at all...
"


"
You trained for years to become a silent assassin, working in the shadows and only resorting to combat when the worst comes to worst. You were the best among your peers... until you botched your very first job that is.

Returning to base after failing a job as poorly as you did would result in death, so now you're stuck wandering the desert, enemies with the empire and an outcast from your home.

"
You managed to get away from those insane battle obsessed reavers only to find yourself stranded and surrounded by bandits on all sides. Great.
"


"
It was a simple run up from the swamps and through shem. Unfortunately, your group caught the eyes of a herd of beak things that quickly demolished the majority of your team and supply. Only you and one other remain, having left the rest behind as gutter food.

You still have some product left, so maybe you can salvage the cost if you make it out to the empire.
"


"
You found yourself bouncing between various jobs as you came into adulthood. Laboring for those far richer than you, you picked up a variety of skills. Mining, tilling fields, and on one occasion, as a bodyguard. Now you find yourself asking if you want something more...
