Roles
This wiki page contains some references, jokes, sarcasm and assorted references. Please do not follow it to the letter and make sure what you do respects the rules of Paradise first.
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.
