**Suggested Characteristics**
//Extractors are simple, technical-minded people with heads full of numbers and feets full of blisters. They usually come from working-class backgrounds, and are cut from a rough cloth. Their work goes mostly unseen, although it benefits everyone. This usually leaves them with a chip on their shoulder when dealing with civilians.//
