Neon Street Rat

Neon Street Rat overview

You can choose the Neon Street Rat Starfield trait from 17 options during the Starfield character creation screen. Upon finalizing your character and leaving the character creator menu, you will no longer be able to pick up additional traits like Neon Street Rat if you didn’t select it the first time around. You can get around this limitation by using a Starfield console command, but not without disabling Starfield achievements.

Fortunately, Starfield allows you to remove traits by speaking with trait-specific NPCs, so you can always remove the Neon Street Rat trait if you find it counter-productive, or not as much fun as you thought.

Unlike the Freestar Collective Settler or United Colonies Native traits, the Starfield Neon Street Rat has no particular faction affiliation. Instead, you gain city-wide dialogue bonuses, and reward bumps for completing missions for Neon citizens.

in-game description

You grew up on the mean streets of Neon. You gain access to special dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions on Neon. Crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can’t be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.)
