The Loyal Laborer
Note: The Loyal Laborer first appeared in Unknown Armies 2nd Edition, in the source book Break Today. All I have done is update it slightly for 3rd Edition. The Loyal Laborer works, not for reward or recognition, but because toil is in his nature. She does not expect her extraordinary efforts to be commended, though if they are she is pleased. But she does not consider it her due. The only thing she considers her due is the work that gives her life purpose. The Loyal Laberer began as a Chinese concept, and this figure of selfless effort is still found there in greater numbers than anywhere else. While many Loyal Laborers begin as zealots, willing to strive for the greater good of the cause (whatever the cause is), at its apex the Loyal Laborer achieves a kind of enlightened selflessness. To the finest example of the Loyal Laborer, it does not matter whether his work even accomplishes anything. The work itself is what matters. Want to know more about the Loyal Laborer?
