Custon Character Skills?

[Pebbles]

I tried to create my own custom character, and I saw that there are 7 different background: Police Officer, Computer Specialist, Forester, Pharmacist, Insurgence Agent, Photographer, and Psycologist. Do these backgrounds grant my character special traits? If so what exactly? I am so pumped with this new custon my story system. Hope someone could answer my question, thanks!

I posted this in the main 1.3 patch thread but ill re-post it here for people who want to know about the new backgrounds.

Here are the new classes and what they do.
Police Officer: Pack 12: Good with Guns Ability: Far more accurate with guns.
Forester: Pack 12:Skilled at chopping wood: Get more wood and firewood from using axe.
Computer Expert: Pack 12: Skilled at electronics: Uses less Electrical parts when making items (eg radio costs 2 electrical parts not 3)
Insurance Sales: Pack 12: Skilled negotiator: Not 100% on this but I think its like the skill that bargaining is.
Psychologist: Pack 12: High willpower: More resistant to depression and I think can help people with depression more than people without the skill
Photographer: Pack 12: Eye for detail: Not 100% on this but I think he can get bonus items and locations (EG you dont need to give the bum food to know about the secret loot area)
Pharmacist: Pack 12: Skilled in medicine: Can make medicine items for less components.

Just rolled a Photographer through the Decrepit Squat, first visit, to see if the secret spawned without engaging the bum. It did not. I will have to take note of loot, perhaps the 'Job' just increases rare loot drops. That'd be neat.

I think photographers notice signs in people easier, they seem to have an updated bios/ thought more often

These traits/perks do not seem to be working at all.

You meant all of them? I've tried forester,police and pharmacist and they're doing pretty great.

Any news on when we'll be able to make custom professions?

Custom professions would be awesome I'd love to play the game as an Anthropologist- your perk would be 'participant observation' giving you perks in negotiation and morale boost, with one hit kill backstabs.

I try to select a differnt occupation, but it always saves to Police Officer.
