I am obese and out of shape, would I be ok?

I am obese and out of shape. I get scared easily and cower when there is a confrontation in my life. Would I be able to make it in this city? Would I be safe? :(

There seems to be enough of a civilization that you could probably survive as a domestic slave to someone powerful like the Duke of New York, or if you were lucky you could get a job in some capacity at the drag queen opera house.

I doubt you would be obese very long in there, though, especially if you don't fight back.

Slave?! Drag queen house?! :(. I would be afraid to fight back. I usually just go in the fetal position and beg for mercy/scream for help when people threaten me with violence.

No, you would be pummeled within minutes of landing and then dragged to the Ring to face Ox Baker in a fight to the death

I would just tap out immediately and quit the fight.
