Downtown

In the bustling centre of downtown, you find yourselves only with the bare necessities. Proceed from being a tramp to a feared or glorified person.

Skills:
Firstly concerning the level of your skill, it progresses from:
Poor - Basic - Average - Good - Intermediate - Advanced - Elite
When you train a skill, you do not necessary immediately progress to next skill level.
You can learn virtually any realistic skill from doing appropiate things. E.g. Go gym on running machine - Trains Speed or Read Books on Engineering to increase engineering.

Examples skills aside from the basic strength, speed, endurance.
Engineering, can build and fix things and hot wire cars.
Recon - Accuracy, stealth and sight increases. Train this by practicing stalking people or other players :O and what not.
If you train a skill not listed or which isn't self explanatory i'll write what it enables you to do.

Weapons, Clothes/Armour:
Have to buy these from shops or salvage.
Clothes generally do not give any protective/physical bonus, however they add to your fame which makes it easier to interact with NPCs and recruit to your squad.
Armour, wear this when your in a firefight. So make sure you go home and get changed before doing a mission.

Residence:
A key thing when starting off is to find a place to settle, here you can store any extra weapons and clothes/armor you have as you can only take 2 weapons and 1 set of armor or clothes at a time. Also the better the house, the better health you regain if you rest and other general bonuses.

Squad:
Go it alone, team up with other players (if you do so you have to organise who will be the leader and who the lackey ) and recruit NPCs. If your in a squad with other real player you share a residence.^^

Fame:
Your actions depend on which way fame goes either into negative or positive. This affects interactions with others.

You dial it in, listening you hear a recorded female voice tell you, that you have no credit.
'What should we do?' you hear joe say.
You look on your map and see that there is a college nearby, jsut by a $3 bus fare you can get to it.

You ask him, and he has a blank expression on his face.

So do you want to be group leader or Hyper?

You do so and enter the job centre. You are greeted by a cheery fella. He optimistically eyes you up and invites you across to him.

'So you need a job. Well, as you have no skills you'll only get a minimum wage one.'
You see him type furiously on his computer, he swivels the computer round to you showing you your options.

A) Work as a waiter in a classy restaurant 6 hours a night for $7 per hour.
B) Work in a storage facility hauling things around for $5 per hour for 7 hours a day.
C) Work as a night guard in a sewage facility, $15 per hour (can choose how long you work each night)

You'll start in the weekdays, and it is still day. So you thank the job centre worker for his help. You see Thomas waiting outside as you exit.

Now what do you want to do? Explore City, learn skills? Buy stuff? Its a life rpg so can do anything if theres the right stuff and its realistic

Specifically what skill?, i.e. go to gym to train strength or go study in college to learn about law. Or go library to read up on engineering etc.
