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. Player Sheet Name: Weapon: Clothes/Armor: None HP: 100 Status: Skills: Inventory: Money:£100 Squad: Fame: Misc:

A voice murmurs in your head to get a daytime job in weekdays as well. You feel slightly fatigued and also realise you need to find a place to stay.

The cabbie drives you far away from the modern business sector of downtown, you pay him $30. You see the hotel, it is quite dingy and seems hostile. You notice the prices 10 measly dollars a day, the clerk asks you how long you want to stay and you must pay at the end of the duration. The rooms are just clad with a rectangular bed and whitewashen walls with crumbling plaster. It will help prevent tiredness however you may get stiff limbs and it is depressing. Outside you can hear a lot of racket of hooligans messing around. Your stomach also rumbles.

Your about to leave to the fast food restaurant when the clerk says 'Hey, for an extra $10 a day we give you 3 meals a day. However its not exactly the healthiest of meals but it'll give you energy'
You also notice on the board of the hotel, vacancies as a cleaner in a school for 6 hours a day at $10/hr or wokring in MC D's for 10hrs a day at $12/hr

I don't really care if I'm group leader, he can be if he really wants to. But I'll go try to learn skillz! Like go to the library or the college or something.

You get some food and rest, you start reading. Most of it is quite complex and as engineering is fairly practical and requires depth knowledge of physics and maths you only got a preliminary understanding of it. (Achieved Poor Engineering) You soon get bored and venture outside where there is a pub and other entertainment facilities around. You also wonder where Thomas is.

I go and return the book because of it's complexity and get some math and physics book which il read in my job and bump in to Thomas ask him to come to the hotel room and explain everything to him.
You see joe in the library and he tells you how he rented a room which you can stay and sleep on floor in. You'll be warm and not have to worry about weather conditions harassing you however, it'll cause your limbs to be stiff and not help tiredness a lot. Also choose a book __________________________________________ Name: Joe Weapon: Clothes/Armor: HP: 100 Status: Healthy, Slight Hunger Skills: Inventory: Mobile Phone (5$ credit) Money:$120 Squad: Thomas Bainsworth, Fame: Misc: Works as night guard ($15/hr on weekdays, variable work hours) - Weekday, read maths and physics when working.

You do so, topping up your and Thomas' phone using ($10) so he can contact you. You make your way back, where you see an convenience store and also a gym. You take a mental note of where it is. At the hotel, a shifty guy stands at the door, he asks if you have a ciggy or if you can lend him some money

You start to skim over the book. Getting a quick overview of the natural sciences. (Poor Medical Knowledge Attained) You are interrupted by a text message 'Upgrade your phone!...blabla' The thoughts of material possessions remind you that you need a way of getting money. You remember the job centre. However a friendly bypasser seeing your book tells you that you can apply for an apprenticeship in a hospital.

Teh shifty guy says 'next time, next time...' Start reading the maths book and you learn about factorisation and application of maths which will help learn engineering better. At the gym you work out for free as a trial day, you feel tired (Poor Strength Attained). If you return you have to pay. You accept job, and job centre guy sets it all up for you. As you exit walking away from the upper class of downtown there is a crowd of people mugging a business man, you see 3 people still harassing and attacking the man. While the main culprit has started to run away with his wallet and briefcase.
