Choosing a Character

This page is in progress. The goal is to give an at-a-glance overview of the difficulty of playing each character for beginners. The rating in each category is completely subjective so far, feel free to edit and/or discuss things in the talk page. )

Welcome, beginner! You are faced with 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:

Frequency of connection		Your job can be done easily even if you only connect once a day.
		You might need to be available several times a day, or at irregular intervals.
		You will be expected to be often online, watching and ready to act.
Communication		You can be rather independent, and mostly need to communicate about your own task.
		You need to keep an eye on what is happening around you, to be active in the general discussion.
		You are expected to know in details everything that happens on-board. You have an important role in the general discussion.
Required learning		You will easily know what to do, by reading the wiki page regarding your skill or by listening to other players tips.

		You will need to know many things about different aspects of the ship.
Role-play tip	Personality and main task of each character: some characters will suit you better than others.
