 Please don't abuse the history part of your character's bio by using it to engineer your character's skills. What we mean by this is we don't want characters coming into the SARP with years of intense training as an assassin or with scars from a battle that you weren't around for. You're starting at the low end of the rank scale so making your character a veteran don't make much sense. Please don't abuse the history part of your character's bio by using it to engineer your character's skills.

 If you haven't already, you will want to figure out what your character owns. To be fair to all players, each of their characters initially starts with three-thousand KS (or equiv lent) on his/her electronic money card, minus the cost of items the character starts with. Military characters are also usually loaned a predetermined bundle of standard-issue equipment such as uniforms for no cost. The equipment varies by faction.

-If you want more than three-thousand KS of items to start with, your character can go up to seven-thousand KS in debt, although this is not recommended. You might also save money by buying used items, which usually are around fifty to seventy percent the original cost of the item (I pity you if you buy used soap, though). To make things easy, for things that aren't found on the price lists, one KS is about equal to one US dollar.
