Character Archetypes

Archetypes are what define you as a character. They provide a base level of skills, and indicate your chosen career/profession/path.

Character Creation Walkthrough

We've tried to make creating a character on The Cortex as easy as possible. Here's a walkthrough, so you can see what to expect!

Character Templates

These are applied atop a regular Archetype. They signify a Special Character, and must be applied for. Depending on the situation, multiple Templates can be applied to the same Archetype. We want to see very good roleplaying, before we give out a Template! Templates must be EARNED.

Templates are NOT available at Character Creation.

Persephone is nice, but maybe you want to explore...

Getting Started

Totally new to the game? No problem! Step right up, and start right here...

Helpful Commands for New Players

New to the game? Here's a few commands that can help you find your way around...

Increasing your Skills and Buying new Skills

Increasing your Skills allows you to use your equipment better, and may unlock certain areas of the game (for example, a black market may only allow people with a high 'Notoriety' to get inside).

In-Game Costs

There are a variety of things that can be 'bought' with your Karma. Remember, Karma is not money, per-se, but your ability to make the 'Verse work in your favor.

Jobbing for Karma

There are several types of 'job generators' available to players. These generators are there to help you when you need some RP ideas, or assist you in generating some Karmans.
