You're from Akiton, a dusty red planet in the Pact Worlds. On this dwindling world, adaptability is key to survival. From the ancient and blood-soaked city of Arl, to the “thousand lights” of Maro and its gang wars, and all the inhospitable places in between, hylki humans live and breathe alongside the many other people of Akiton and eke out whatever existence they can. Hylki humans tend to be taller and stockier than other humans because they grew up in low gravity, and most have rosy-hued skin ranging from brilliant crimson to dusty rose.
You're trained in
Athletics. If you would automatically become trained in Athletics (from your background or class, for example), you instead become trained in another skill of your choice. You also gain the
Quick Jump skill feat.
