Put the unique backgrounds into the general pool

[Spectre]

At the moment I'm sure we all know that you have 'unique' characters e.g a vatgrown assassin will always be male and have the mercenary adult background. I feel that this can be quite restrictive in game when it comes to colonists.

I acknowledge that people have paid extra to get certain backgrounds in the game but I think it's silly that there currently can't be female, vatgrown assassin deathjacks in the game.

The problem really became clear to me with EdB's excellent Prepare Carefully mod which doesn't include the hardcoded backgrounds, and despite the illusion of loads of combinations of backgrounds I feel it would make the game even better having the hard coded backgrounds thrown into the general pool.

but those backgrounds are very unique and sometimes are very detailed
all of your ninja assassins would be traumatized by plantlife and each G-nome biologist obsessed with garden gnomes or the pest guard who was found on bloody field. or the mechanic who joined band of brigands and then overthrew the topman of the band

they're just not generic enough for being in the general pool =P
there'll be more and more variation with the general backgrounds as the time goes on I'm sure of that
