Guide to Character Records

When creating a character, you may want to fill out their Medical Records, Employment Records, and Security Records. These are found on the bottom right of the General tab.

Some tips:


 * 1) Cross Reference. Make sure that all your dates line up with both each other, and a reasonable level of realism.
 * 2) Keep it simple. Abbreviate, cut short, and even just refer to non-existent external files if you need to. If you don't, you may find you run out of space, as the records do have a limit, remember.
 * 3) Make it believable, even if it seems silly. This mainly applies for the previous jobs, arrest history and education. Make up some places and such, even if the names are basic or somewhat silly, use them! Mostly for schools I stick to just the city they're in (Say, Olympia) and then take the level of education (Say, University) and then clump them together (Olympia University). You can add variety, like saying Olympia University of Medicine/Law/Robotics/Science, etc., but just make it semi-believable.
