I've spent a lot of time going through the wiki, and boy is there a lot to absorb. First thing to say, is to everyone who contributed to this universe and to its original creator, very VERY impressive work. This is good stuff. ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
I do have a couple of questions that I'd like clarified, if I may, and I apologize if the answers are already out there and I just overlooked them.
First, simply out of curiosity, is there some form of hidden numerical system that tracks a PC's success/failure when using skills in RP (dice rolls, etc), or is the outcome largely up to the GM's discretion? It honestly makes little difference to me in the long run, so long as GMs are consistent in their application, which I'm confident they are. I'm merely wondering, since I couldn't find any sort of hard system in place.
Second, the debut character I've made is very much a normal human in what seems to be a world of superhuman cyborgs, androids, and perfect specimens of genetic engineering. She's an above average person physically, of course, but still very much human. I suppose this question is a two-parter:
1) Does a "normal" human character have a decent shot of not getting killed in her travels, provided she doesn't choose a safe (but ultimately boring) life as a garbage barge deck hand?
2) Should her RP life afford her the opportunity, would it be advisable to seek out genetic upgrades or cybernetic implants later on down the line?
I realize that these are probably very open-ended questions that could have a variety of answers. The main thing I'm trying to answer (besides my own curiosity) is how to get the most enjoyment out of my RP experience.
Thanks for your feedback!
