Assistant
[[File:]]
Civilian
Superiors: Everyone
Difficulty: Very Easy
Guides: No external guides.
Access: Nothing
Duties: Try to convince the Head of Personnel to give you a job or a department to take you in and give you work.
This job has no access. But it's good to play if you are a newbie, because they don't have any special responsibilities and there is no limit to the number of Civilians on a station. Civilians also make ideal applicants for gateway explorers, genetic test subjects, and other roles as they're not tied to any department and are therefore more or less expendable.
Civilian is also a good choice if you're simply interested in roleplaying - you don't have have any work to do so you're free to roam around and interact with the inhabitants of the station.
If this is your first time playing it might be worth going over The Basics or looking at a few Guides and learning about the various jobs you can do.
Overview
As an Civilian, you'll want to either get a job or just assist with various jobs around the station. Feel free to ask over the radio if anyone would like any assistance. You don't have any access, so it'll be pretty hard to get anywhere, but this is still a good job for new players. In order to get a job, one must head south of bridge, to the Head of Personnel's office.
Custom Jobs
You can choose between either inventing a custom job title and having the Head of Personnel give you the title and appropriate access, and asking people over the radio if they need assistance. If you take the first option, consider a reasonable job that isn't something overpowered or self-antagging, here are some examples..
Good Examples
Actor, Animal Breeder/Caretaker, Boxer, Carpenter, Explorer, etc
Bad Examples
Assassin, Firestarter, Gunman, Hitman, Killer, Serial Killer, etc
Traitoring
It's easy to stay under the radar as an Civilian, as you have the least-respected job on the station. Loot a belt from primary tool storage and load up!
The number one advantage of traitor Civilian is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of how to outrobust an Unathi with your bare fists.
