Merchant

Never tell me the odds — unless you're selling them, then mark them up 20%.

You've been around trading and commerce enough to have picked up some basic knowledge about buying and selling. Maybe you grew up in a family business, or you've just spent enough time in markets and trading posts to understand the basics.

You're not some galaxy-spanning trade mogul, but you know enough about commerce to spot an obvious scam and understand basic negotiation principles. Your exposure to different trading situations has given you some familiarity with how deals work, though you're still learning the ropes.
