Homeless

The Homeless are the rank-and-file members of the UnderWorld population. They are the most common of the Breeds, and, unlike many of the others they can be found in the World Above almost as often as the World Below. They are the only visible part of the UnderWorld in the daily lives of the UpWorlders.

The common bond of the Homeless is that they have collectively turned their backs upon UpWorld society. Certainly, most of the Homeless did not choose to become what they are &mdash; but without exception, all of the members of this Breed chose to remain as they are. The Homeless who make up the Breed that bears their name have discovered the wonder of the UnderWorld, and have simply 'jumped ship' to another way in life.

Their unique nature, straddling the two worlds, makes them the primary source of news and materials from the surface. As such, many Homeless are members of the Traders Guild. Even those who are not Traders, however, maintain some ties with the world of the surface, usually old friends from the previous lives aboveground.
