-=====Character Generation Process===== 
  
-===Step 1 - Choose Skills=== 
- 
-Each character starts play with 4 [[start:rules:skills|skills]]. 
-It is strongly recommended that most characters begin play with [[start:rules:skills:firstaid|first aid]], [[start:rules:skills:datagather|data gathering]] and [[start:rules:skills:maintain|equipment maintenance]] so that they can be reasonably self-reliant. If you do not have one of these skills, you will be reliant on NPCs or other PCs which can be expensive.\\ 
-\\ 
-[[start:rules:skills:gunsmith|Gunsmithing]], [[start:rules:skills:armoursmith|armoursmithing]] and [[start:rules:skills:surgery|surgery]] can bring in a reasonable income during downtime and can also yield some bonuses when looting.\\ 
-[[start:rules:skills:dataanalysis|Data analysis]] can be very useful to dig deeper into plot, as can the four scientific disciplines.\\ 
-[[start:rules:skills:survivalist|Survivalist]] and [[start:rules:skills:trapper|trapper]] will greatly reduce the costs you must meet to remain healthy. 
- 
-===Step 2 - Choose Equipment=== 
- 
-Characters start with no money or equipment. Instead they must take out a loan of up to 5000 credits from the gang.\\ 
-Record a list of what you buy, the ref team will track your debt. You will need to pay a minimum amount towards your debt in each downtime session. You can of course pay off more than the minimum.\\ 
- 
-===Step 3 - Details=== 
- 
-Record your character's name, and any background details you want to bring to the attention of the ref team.\\ 
-Most characters will have a military background or similar, but a law enforcement or security background also works, or you could play a wannabe who never got into the military.\\ 
-It's worth considering why your character is in the Zone. For the vast majority it is all about the money, with a three year tour of the Zone yielding more than enough money for most people to retire on. It is a very high-risk profession though, with only around 12% of freelancers coming back out of the Zone. What kind of person takes that risk?\\
