Kittyyyyyyyyy!!!! The triangle ears and the meow meow!!!!

How many heads?
Pros:
- High attack and defense
Cons:
- EXP penalty
- The lore doesn't treat you very nice :c
Zombie
Home: New Pittsburgh (D15)
Braaaaaaaains.
Pros:
- Can eat corpses directly, skipping all this "cooking" nonsense
Cons:
- Corpse-eating means you get more Crap Meat (ew) and can't benefit from herbs. Of course you could just not use that feature, if you prefer...
Squat
Home: Squat Hole (J17)
they're narsty little fucks, innit?
Pros:
- (We'll fill more of this out after playing as one.)
Cons:
- Kebabs 'n' Shite has some of the worst food
- They're still your classic Depraved Dwarf stereotype, even after being renamed from "Midgets", which you might not be super cool with.
Robot
Home: Cyber City 404 (V38)
Beep boop bitches.
Pros:
- Can overclock their attack, defense, and regeneration, to ridiculous levels if you like.
Cons:
- Overclocking generates heat, and too much heat deals damage. No way to get rid of it but venting between rounds.
- Can't use the hospital tent.
Joker
Home: AceHigh (J30)
Roll the dice, babey.
Pros:
- Card-based buffs are cool.
- Randomized stat modifiers each day can massively buff you.
Cons:
- Card-based buffs are completely random and you have zero control over them.
- Randomized stat modifiers can also massively nerf you. Also completely random, zero control, etc.

Little tricks
- Use a bed "instantly" by not actually getting into it until the newday has arrived. This will keep slots open for other players, if the place is short on decorations.
