What is your character's social class?

Tess is a billionaire. She's pretty upper class.

Kylo is Supreme Leader. I think that may mean he sets the classes.

Creed... he has money but he doesn't spend overly or look the part.

Klaus... Klaus. Raised as a very 1% upper class experiment, living at the very bottom of society but as an actual person.

Cecil lives in the between land of famous middle class. He's not doing bad financially, but he still has to work, but he's definitely a local celebrity.

Jon is fairly upper middle class. Able to go to a good school, not financially stressed about keeping his job though the raise is nice, etc.

Ahsoka belongs to a sheltered and privileged class, though she isn't quite aware of it as she risks her life to fight for the society that she lives in.

Sabine comes from a well know, if not respected family in Mandalorian society, as well as a famous clan.

Jessica is sort of outside society as she's a superhero, but she is trying to integrate herself into a normal life. She'd be in the middle class I guess? If you didn't know she was a super hero.

Alustin is definitely from a privileged tier of his society and he knows it and uses it to do what he sees as needing done.

Viv is definitely suburban upper middle class, though she is also an outsider since she is an android.

Wilson's hinted to come from a well-off background, upper middle class at least, but his family doesn't give him a lot of financial support as an adult, if any. This is why prior to getting pulled into the Constant he lived in a questionable house ("shack" might be more accurate) by himself in the middle of nowhere. Since his surname, Higgsbury, sounds very stereotypically fancypants English but basically doesn't exist in any real census records, I have a theory that his parents are new-money types who changed their name to something that sounded more upper-crust upon emigrating to the US. (Or his father did, if that was before he met Wilson's mother; I haven't nailed the timeline down.)

Thurlow's from a minor offshoot branch of an aristocratic family and grew up fairly wealthy, but their household's nowhere near the line of succession for the family title, so this doesn't impress anyone in Fallen London, and they were rendered a penniless fugitive shortly after their arrival in the city for unrelated reasons but schemed, toiled, and treasure-hunted their way back into money and influence all on their own.

Aradia and Cirava come from a communally-reproducing society where familial lines of inheritance largely don't exist and socioeconomic class is assigned directly based on physical traits. Blood colour, specifically. Aradia's red blood puts her in the lowest recognised stratum, and as a yellowblood Cirava's in the third lowest category, but they both appear to lead middle-class-ish lifestyles, so it

Wormwood and Bastion are outsiders to society. Bastion doesn't really participate in society at all and is rarely viewed as a person; Wormwood interacts with pig society to some extent, but they have to earn a place in it if they want to live there and they don't particularly fit in. How much money Wormwood has depends on how good the player is at finding things to get paid for and avoiding their demise in DS: Hamlet. I, personally, am pretty good at the first one and not so great at the second.
