In the year 2034... Mining can be dangerous, being crushed, suffocated, or trapped and starved to death are only the usual risks. You could also be redirected into the sewer and drowned, shot by other rogue miners, or eaten alive by monsters from the depths. But they pay is good, the right merchants will pay handsomely for minerals or metals, and the wrong merchants will pay the gear you steal from other miners. To start your life as a miner fill out the character sheets below.
Also spend you starter money for gear at Godmund's Shop. (Note: Weapons will stay in your items list and not under arms until you choose to equipped them)

"This should be Saccharine City, the rest of our trip should be through here." Alazzander replies. Penny squints at the city wall and suddenly laughs. Leading you Al-ice and her charge to the area she points to a couple of wanted posters plastered to the cement. One shows a picture of Alazzander, above the sum of reward money ($10,00) above a list of his crimes (Planning to overthrow the government, treason, theft, terrorism.) A second poster shows Pennys face. She rips this down before you can read her crimes and a single wanted poster is left on the wall. Yours. A unflattering photo of your face taken some three years ago stands above the sum $500 and your crimes. (Violence, murder, unauthorised mining, and misbehaviour.)

The fragment you close your fingers around starts thrashing around madly and nips you with what must be mandibles as the critter turns out to be a brassy coloured beetle.

The blue gem is very hard and non-brittle, proving very hard to remove from the main structure.
