Good idea. You can help me make poor life choices 
I play an Academic, come swell.
Professor Captain William James T. Adams, of Boston. Areas of expertise are anthropology, archaeology, and general antiquity, If itās, old, esoteric, or people have forgotten about it, then William probably knows something about it.
His life is a matter of public record. Thatās what happens when you are rich. If that interests you I can add a little info.
In the chain gang because he broke the law, and the family made him actually do the time.

I think itās probably unlikely that weād have crossed paths before, but I look forward to meeting you in game. I might be playing one of the few lower class members of the chain gang 
This is reminding me that the Chain Gang have such interesting stories, and that I should interview them for the Review.

Hello! Welcome to the Chain Gang. Iām playing Eliza OāConnor, Irishwoman with an Oceanic accent and in for various murders, theft, and identity fraud. Sheās been nicknamed Surly Sue and has an itchy trigger finger, and doesnāt talk much unless directly addressed.

I donāt know what shocks me more. That this price list exists - or that the prices are so low by todayās standardsā¦
Inflation. The average wage for a factory worker at the time was US$10 / week, with foremen getting $15 - $20. Alternatively, its 10 cents for a shot of whiskey, and $1 for a bottle. So a weekās wages for a serious assault, and a few bottles for a minor one doesnāt seem too weird.
As for the list existing, I guess the gangs were providing a commercial serviceā¦
