Character files / Classes & careers

Six ways in.
Your story from there.

Fixer. Netrunner. Solo. Tech. Medtech. Nomad. Choose your starting class in game, then find the work and people that make it yours.

Your class is a starting point.

The class picker saves your choice and normally assigns its matching profession at recruit grade. Existing employment takes priority. Selecting a class does not put you on duty or grant a senior rank; use /service when you are ready to work.

Your saved class and current profession can differ. After setup, /class or Inventory → Class & character shows your dossier.

YOUR PLAYBOOK

Build your network.

YOUR PLAYBOOK

06 / TRANSPORT / SMUGGLING

Nomad

Nomad

YOUR PLAYBOOK

Keep the convoy moving.

Take a camp route, carry the crates into a truck you can use, and drive to the drop. Unload each crate and hand it to the fence, or arrange a player sale. Cargo, deadlines, and NCPD checkpoints give every run something at stake.

FIND YOUR WORK

Aldecaldos camp contract board / route destination

  1. 01

    Clock in as a Nomad with /service. Use /nomad camp to find the camp.

  2. 02

    Load the crates into a truck you own, hold a key for, or can use through your clan.

  4. 04

    Follow the route, unload the cargo, and deliver each crate to the fence.

/nomad campLocate the Aldecaldos camp
/nomad statusCheck the convoy and its cargo

Keep an eye on the deadline and protect the cargo. NCPD checkpoints can search contraband; losing the truck or a crate can disrupt the run.

BEYOND YOUR STARTING CLASS

More ways to make a living.

Employment is its own system.
A career can take you somewhere new.

Use /jobs to inspect professions. Visit the employment agency at Kabuki Gallery for civilian positions; restricted professions need an employer or staff. Job grades run from recruit to employee, senior, and boss. Progression and permissions come from employment, rather than a shared class XP ladder.
