The Concern is mostly worried about profitability and utility. So convicts, uneducated labour, scientists, etc. are all viable characters. The bottom line for application to the roleplay is ‘does this person actually provide merit to the Dome’, and from there any other fateful designs or background horribleness to the writer’s taste can justify why they would take a position that by all accounts is destined to be isolated, inglorious, and potentially laborious.

As for me as the storyteller, I’m not going to be too picky. I want to see interesting concepts rather than water tight alibis. If someone wanted to be a stowaway vagrant who proved useful, or the lone sheriff/security officer, or a corporate pariah in exile who’s mostly actually useless, etc those are all also easily viable paths into the Dome.

The nurturable animals of the Dome also need at least one human paying attention to them some of the time, so even in absolute mundanity a rancher or farm-raised person would also be of easily workable origin.
