-(tbd)
+Innate Greaseheart abilities generally concern movement, traversal, survival, and the specialised use of equipment and tools.
+  * **Hardened Vestibular** - The inner-ear vestibular system of the average Greaseheart has evolved to efficiently cope with rapid changes in gravitational forces, sudden and disorienting movement, zero-G, and using vision to stay balanced. This suppresses nausea and dizziness caused by freefall and zero gravity, and blacking out from sudden changes in G-forces up to twenty Gs. This quirk of evolution gave rise to the Greaseheart reputation as fierce pilots and drivers.
+  * **Start, You Bastard!** - Oil-burning combustion cars and second-hand spacecraft can fail to start for a number of reasons - the battery's dead, fuel injection's crumbed, wires are frayed, life support's not sealed properly, a fuse is blown; The list goes on. When a Greaseheart has familiarised themselves sufficiently with a vehicle and it fails to start for whatever reason, their intuition guides them towards the points of failure - a sound in the engine or a smell in the air can provide the first clue.
+  * **Highly Antioxidant Liver** - The frequent proximity to dangerous active processes, hazardous chemicals, and ionising radioactivity has lead their bodies to develop a limited form of protection against these. Greaseheart livers has evolved to better deal with, process, and pass free radicals, oxidants, and carcinogens, protecting the body from sickness((Clean and robust Greaseheart Livers are a hot commodity among certain people...)).
 ===== Historical Factors =====
 Proto-Greaseheart humans were the first of their kind to move away from their home planet and start exploring the universe in full. The men and women of today's stock wear this fact with pride.
