{{Hatnote|{{Color|red|'''Note:'''}} Since roleplaying is essential for playing on Paradise, it's recommended that you read [[A Crash Course In Roleplaying]].}}
{{Color|red|'''Roleplay requirement'''}} ranks how much roleplaying is required for you to have a fun round. While all roles benefit and are more enjoyable with roleplaying, some roles REQUIRE it to have a good round. A high ranking means you need to go out, talk to people and roleplay with others to have a good round. A low rank means you don't have to roleplay to have a good round, but it's still very much encouraged.
{{Color|red|'''Mechanical Difficulty'''}} Defines how difficult the role is to play from a mechanical standpoint. A high ranking means it will be difficult or a lot of different information and skills will be involved. Low means it's easy to pick up.

Jobs

Your Role is what Nanotrasen has hired you to do aboard the space station, the NSS Cyberiad. It defines what equipment you start with, your ID card access, and what your duties are aboard the station. From roaming around as a lowly civilian to grilling up burgers as a chef, or even fighting off Syndicate agents as a member of security, there is always something to do.

While aboard the NSS Cyberiad you are also likely to encounter some interesting new species working alongside you.

Note: Since roleplaying is essential for playing on Paradise, it's recommended that you read A Crash Course In Roleplaying.

Roleplay requirement ranks how much roleplaying is required for you to have a fun round. While all roles benefit and are more enjoyable with roleplaying, some roles REQUIRE it to have a good round. A high ranking means you need to go out, talk to people and roleplay with others to have a good round. A low rank means you don't have to roleplay to have a good round, but it's still very much encouraged.

Mechanical Difficulty Defines how difficult the role is to play from a mechanical standpoint. A high ranking means it will be difficult or a lot of different information and skills will be involved. Low means it's easy to pick up.
