I got a better idea.. Remove the trait all together and make it a "JOB"
A jailbird is a prosessed convict arriving on the station to work for free labor to pay off their debt to society.
They are tagged as parole and only 1 per shift can appear.
THEY ARE NOT ANTAGONISTS, but nor are they TRUE CREW.
I also think it would be funny cause they can't make any money (0 credits start and such), that they have to rely on free meals and drinks or swipe whatever to make something. Wich is why they should get a trait for the job only and that is able to steal from vending machines, wich if caught by a beepsky will arrest them and security will put them in the brig for normal offenses.
Then again typing this out and re-reading it feels... very dystopian and possible bad taste vibes, but I am putting it out there since it's brainstorming.
I think if the "Jailbird trait" is changed to "One of those fancy special roles" , it would be more tolerated. At this point Jailbird can be used to be a CLOWN while there is one clown.. and I do dislike when staffies go: "I am a clown cause backstory" but then assume to act like the clown... with the actual clown there.
So yes.. maybe we should make it a "job" or something. My idea ain't perfect but that's why we discuss it no?
