Beachcomber
The ocean is both wide and incredibly bountiful, and, when filled with tempest and torment, some of that incredible bounty can be torn loose. Perhaps a ship beleaguered by the ocean upon storm-tossed waves has come to grief, or a storm has raged with sufficient power to swirl up previously buried treasures from the oceanic depths and abyssess and bring them to a peaceful rest upon a beach. It is the beachcombers who walk the borders between the water and the land who come to harvest what others would consider trash and which they consider treasure.
As a beachcomber you must ask yourself, why did you give up your life of outdoor work and being your own boss? What mystery or urge drives you to go exploring in the world?

You left your gorgeous beachfront for a reason, but your skill at scavenging, improvising and wheedling are extremely transferable. Certain kinds of collecters and merchants will come to you about obtaining specific items or solicit your expertise. If you aid several of these collectors, you will be approached by the agents of nobility and the ludicrously wealthy, potentially gaining access to secret auctions and events you would not otherwise have access to.
