Hard Boiled
Tough and streetwise, someone who is Hard Boiled understands that to catch a thief you have to think like a thief. Usually, such a person isn’t above breaking the law in order to get the job done. They’ll use whatever tools are at their disposal and may crack a few skulls in the process. Often, at their core, they are honest souls who wish the world wasn’t so despicable and downright nasty; however, in order to fight for justice, they can be just as nasty as they need to be.
