= The Underbelly =


The Vale's rot under the carpet - The Underbelly is filled with The Scum of the society on the Flipside<ref>Topside, The regular inhabitants of The Vale.</ref>, it's inhabitants, also known as Scum, are outcasts from society surviving an overwhelming debt, and battle with lyfe itself, making ends meet by making shady dealings with Flipsiders.


Flipsiders in town, as in, the Keep, Church, and Towners, know of the Scum's existence. Depending on the morality of the characters, they can see them as what they wish: Scum, parasites trying to live off of The Vale's resources and coin, or fellow men and women who are just so truly down on their luck, beggars and vagabonds who just couldn't afford to lyve Flipside, and instead turn to this lyfe.


One thing is for certain: '''The Underbelly is so deep, the only Patron that hears the Scum, is Necra.'''

|-
|GUTTER KING
|110
|You built something down here. Not a Kingdom - nobody'd call it that. But it runs, it pays, and when you say 'do it', people do it. The Keep above think they own this town. You own what's underneath it. Keep the Scum in line, keep the Flipside from burning you down, and don't get careless.
|Manage The Scum. Keep relations stable. Don't piss the Keep off. Don't leave the hideout unless you really have to. Send your goons to do the dirty work for you. Convert people to Scum (willingly). Cry at the end of the round in OOC that your faction was fucking useless and didn't get the maximum reward tier.
|DUKE
|-
|SCUM
|50
|Work for the Underbelly. Break legs, move cargo, disappear people, or keep the Flingers safe. It doesn't pay well, but it pays, and it beats starving Flipside. The Gutter King expects results. The kind that don't require explaining.
|Protect the Underbelly. Protect Flingers by setting up ambush spots. Have Ultimate Swag. Play Dice with your fellow Scum in the common area. Gamble. Get skullcracked by the eventual Keepoid Deathball. Die and then salt in LOOC.
|HARD
|-
|FLESH TRADER
|65
|Organs fetch a good price if you know who to sell to. Kidneys, spleens, an appendix - nobody misses the small things. Arms and legs do pay better, but the paperwork gets complicated. The Trader takes what you bring. The Excidium already wants you. Try not to make it worse.
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JQBPK94UI8]Traffic Organs. Traffic People. Kidnap People. Get arrested by the Keep for those crimes. Get eventually bailed out by your Boss. Do it again. They don't arrest you and instead kill you now. Die and then salt in LOOC.
|EXPERT
|-
|FLINGER
|55
|Coin is the only God worth worshipping, and you've devoted your lyfe to it. You have access to goods nobody Flipside can acquire legally, or easily - and a list of clients who will pay anything not to have their name associated with acquiring them. Keep it quiet. Keep it profitable.
|Be the Emissary for the Underbelly. Be the sole reason the Underbelly has coin to begin with. Become completely untraceable with your hat that magically hides all your features. Get arrested anyway somehow, even though the guard cannot see your name, descriptors, gender or race. Give non-Scum fetch quests. Make a ton of coin.
|THE STEWARD BUT HE'S ACTUALLY USEFUL FOR ONCE
|-
|RIPPER
|70
|Medicine for coin. Surgery for more coin. You'll do what the clinic won't - pull a crossbow bolt without asking how it got there, stitch a face closed that shouldn't be walking around, and charge accordingly. The Pestran relics you carry are not strictly legal. That suits everyone just fine.
|Be the Underbelly Dr House. Revive the Scum that died for the 4th time in a row now. Give that person that's totally not a bandit an organ that makes them The Terminator - except if he was made out of paper, and fucking useless. Make potions. Sell  two exclusive potions - one is all the healing pots combined, but it drains stats, and knocks you out, and the other is just giving someone a fever. Have the Flinger sell your potions.
|MORE MOUSE BITES!!!
