Welcome, beginner! You are faced with up to four characters, one of which you will incarnate for the duration of the game: from a few days to a couple of weeks. Each one has a unique role, each one will play a unique part in the story. This page aims at giving you clues at what will be expected from each character, so that you and the rest of the crew will have the most fun and the least pressure in the game.

Each character is rated according to the following criterias:

Talk.gif Talk.gif You need to keep an eye on what is happening around you, to be active in the general discussion.
Talk.gif Talk.gif Talk.gif You are expected to know in details everything that happens on-board. You have an important role in the general discussion.
