Players have a list of twelve characters to choose from. These characters possess various attributes plus an Agent Status, gold, one occupational skill and a game start location. The first four attributes listed in each character description are measured on a one hundred percentile scale. The occupational skill though is measured on a twenty percentile scale. When players roll against these scores if their roll is below the number indicated a Success is registered. If the exact value of a skill is rolled then the player registers an On-Target. And if the player rolls above the number indicated a Failure is registered. When an On-Target is generated during a skill roll that player is awarded one level up for experience.

Clergyman

"Priests and Soothsayers alone hear the voice of their respective gods. No other is allowed this privilege, yet so many voices and so many commands... How can a clergyman reconcile such numerous messages? The answer is simple; he will embrace the full breadth of God’s many forms, be they human or alien."

Cultist

"Above all else the cultist protects herself by seeking those with real power. To curry favor at the feet of powerful men is the only true means of security. For if the world is illusion and authority can not be trusted what better way to win success than serving in the ranks of secret influence."

Gangster

"All kidding aside this pretense G-men have of separating government from organized crime makes me laugh. Do you honestly think I could do business without the consent of the Feds?

Inventor

"High voltage current is a play-thing in my hands. With my coil apparatus I make lightning dance on my fingertips. The sheer magnitude of this power is for no one man to control. I stand here between two extremes withstanding the pull to either side, because I alone know the value of my work. It is a legacy I bequeath to my fellow man."

Mercenary

She no longer feels empathy for her kind. The bitter scars left from battle have rendered her a column of stone. Questions of loyalty don’t occur to her anymore because the money she earns has built a wall against such inconveniences. She is a creature of war and as long as governments exist she will never know a lack of employment.

Police Officer

The average police officer walks his beat confident in the knowledge that he IS the guardian of all that is decent and just in the world. The Law is his foundation and he is its protector.

Occultist

"The secrets of the universe are there for the taking. The student need only delve deep into the psyche to attain them. But along the way extreme forces will try to divert you onto a path of unwilling servitude. Do not accept this. Know that there are better paths to take. You need only to master your own heart and mind to succeed."

Soldier

Soldiers follow orders, that is the central edict of their profession. They put their faith in the soundness of those orders because a good soldier knows what the alternative is, chaos. The world can not live in chaos so the chain of command must be preserved. If it were to fall forward progress would collapse and with it would follow society.
