TEXT: The Survivor
  You are a survivor. Your life has been altered by the terror and 
  hardships of the world, and you are inexorably changed by the 
  experience. Your sanity may be diminished, but you are hardy, 
  and ready to continue struggling for the next dawn. It is your 
  wisdom and knowledge that will see you through another day, 
  but that doesn’t necessarily endear you to others. You may have 
  a soft spot for those who were once like you, less inured to the 
  world and its challenges, so you may occasionally find compas-
  sion for them. You do not, however, suffer fools.
  Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Survival
  Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools (your choice)
  Languages: One of your choice
  Equipment: A simple weapon, a tent, a knife, a set of 
  traveler’s clothes, and two days worth of rations.
  FeaTure: NoT oN My WaTch!
  You are so paranoid that you regularly set simple traps before 
  you sleep. Anyone trying to sneak up on you while you sleep 
  does so at a disadvantage. If they succeed, you can act during 
  the surprise round with disadvantage on all of your attack rolls. 
  Additionally, you are considered awake for half of the 8 hours 
  while you are asleep, as you have trained yourself to rest with 
  your eyes open, and at times even while standing!
  This feature does not work if you are inebriated when you go 
  to sleep, or if you have another person sleeping next to you.
   
  SuggeSTed characTeriSTicS
  Survivors have experienced a great deal of emotional trauma, 
  which makes it difficult for them to form emotional attach-
  ments. They can be suspicious, possibly to the point of paranoia. 
  Some survivors have difficulty thinking about the future, dwell-
  ing on the past and their regrets. Other survivors plan for any 
  contingency, hoping to avoid future tragedies.
