| - | ==== Affinity: Astral Protector ==== | + | ==== Affinity |
| //The Astral Protector affinity represents the oldest known expression of the Zerk, emerging from tribal and magically aligned cultures where land, spirit, and survival are inseparable. Their fury is not purely personal, but drawn from wronged ancestors, protective entities, or an internalised mandate to defend territory, people, or ecological law. Among all Zerks, Astral Protectors are the most mystic, channeling raw arcane force through martial action in ways most Spacers would consider impossible without extensive augmentation. Some remain so deeply embedded in non-industrial regions that they reject Federation cyberware entirely, so-called luddites, relying instead on the authority of the land and the certainty of their own strength.// \\ | //The Astral Protector affinity represents the oldest known expression of the Zerk, emerging from tribal and magically aligned cultures where land, spirit, and survival are inseparable.

| - | ==== Affinity: Grinder ==== | + | ==== Affinity |
| //The Grinder affinity emerges from scrap worlds, astromotive hubs, and shipping stations where survival means mastering metal, motion, and neglect. Raised among underslung tubes, live rigging, and drifting wreckage, many Grinders grew up welding before they could read and fighting pests in pressurised piping as a matter of routine. Though their environments are artificial, they are no less territory and a Grinder knows every vibration, choke point, and structural weakness by instinct. They may trade wilderness lore for technical brutality, but no one questions the choice when a chainsaw comes screaming out of the dark and ends the problem permanently.// | //The Grinder affinity emerges from scrap worlds, astromotive hubs, and shipping stations where survival means mastering metal, motion, and neglect.

| - | ==== Affinity: Feral ==== | + | ==== Affinity |
| //The Feral Zerk affinity emerges from deep wilderness zones where civilisation fails and only instinct, strength, and adaptation endure. Raised closer to animals than people, Feral Zerks become apex predators of their environments — towering, physically overwhelming figures with an unmatched understanding of terrain, fauna, and the unspoken laws that govern the wild. They are the most brutal of the Zerks, yet sometimes among the most curious, observing, learning, and adapting with a predator’s intelligence rather than blind rage. Many are luddites with no cyberware at all, having no need for it when the jungle itself has already finished shaping them.// \\ | //The Feral Zerk affinity emerges from deep wilderness zones where civilisation fails and only instinct, strength, and adaptation endure.

| - | ==== Affinity: Chill ==== | + | ==== Affinity |
| //The Chill Zerk affinity belongs to the gentle giants: enormous, easy-going figures who move through life with surfer confidence, gym-bro charm, and an almost supernatural luck. They aren’t thinkers or planners — most peak somewhere between hanging ten and beer pong — but the universe seems to accommodate them anyway, doors opening and problems resolving without much effort. Their rage is real, just rare, and when it finally surfaces the shock is part of the impact: a calm, smiling mountain suddenly deciding something is no longer acceptable. Most people are happy to see a Chill Zerk at the party — right up until they tear the guy cheating at Tarot in half and calmly go back to their drink.// \\ | //The Chill Zerk affinity belongs to the gentle giants: enormous, easy-going figures who move through life with surfer confidence, gym-bro charm, and an almost supernatural luck.
