These Any Setting lifepaths may be taken instead of a lead. They are small not so great lifepaths that show a character having an unexpected event that shakes up their lives. Anyone can end up on the streets due to Shadowrunners grabbing you in the night or contracting HMHVV. And it's always possible to catch a break and get on a nova-hot trid about shooting other people that are just trying to make a paycheck. There is no lead time into or out of these lifepaths and they do not count toward the number of lifepaths during character burning.
