Where there is demand, there will always be some one willing to risk everything to make money off it. The UEE defines a poacher as an individual that breaks the law in the acquisition of restricted materials, expanding its definition to include more than just animals in the late 2100's. As a result your treasure hunting can now squarely be persecuted all under the same laws, whether your bringing back gemstones, lizard bones, spider venom, marsupials, ancient artifacts, or whatever else you may find. Your lack of a pass and permissions has made all of your acquisitions illegal... but its a good thing they can't catch you.
Are you Boid Singh, self proclaimed 'King of Poachers'. TF-J3FF is where you made your fortune, and at 29 years old, and over 10 years of experience, you have quite the reputation. People come to you, they ask you to find something they heard existed on the planet, and you follow that lead for a price, and then you capture it, often alive, and bring it back. You caused the 'Girl Flu' epidemic Gamma Sector, but the person paid you in advance, you had filled many a menagerie with bizarre creatures, and you even dug up a rare Heart Ruby for a client. All of which you had made it back, alive, and unchanged. But this time, your searching the lush Dhuusadale Rain Forest for a spider said capable of spinning a metric ton of silk in mere moments. This one would prove far more hazardous than anything you had faced in your career. At 163 cm (5'4") you have a stocky build. Your fairly fit from the varied work you do. Your skin has a slightly reddish tint to it and you wear your black hair in a comb over to try to hide your balding hair.
Are you Douglas Parker, the rookie treasure hunter. Your going down the the surface, not alone, but rather as an apprentice to the renowned treasure hunter Jason Park, no relation to you. Your only 19, and have lived a fairly sheltered life, and this is the most exciting thing you've ever done. It will be a chance to see the legendary Alphys Ruins up close and personal. You had a number of theories about the civilization, but never enough information to really test them. This is two birds with one stone, your learning a trade, even if its not a legal one, and you'll get to see if any of your guess work is correct, and form new theories. You are 180 cm (5'11") and are a bit soft and doughy. You look rather tall and awkward. Thick brown spiked hair, and a clear 5 o'clock shadow makes you look older than you are.
