Hmm… Well it probably won’t let me use points until I select my “Path”. Whatever that means. May as well take a look.

  Aaaaaand my choices are limited. Hooray. Why did it even show me the paths I can’t take to begin with? Also don’t both choices seem kind of similar? Could I see what the operative purpose of each path is before selecting?

  Moderately informative. So shall I be the invisible rogue of the shadow path? No, I don’t know what is out there, and information is going to be my key to survival (and figuring out what has happened to me). Looks like I am bound to the Spy path. Somehow finding others, gaining their trust, and getting any knowledge I can from them seems like the best choice to me.

  Crap. Wait maybe this can be a good thing. It certainly will help build and maintain any disguises I need. Though I can’t say I like the idea of being a genderless creature with no form of its own. Hey, Screen, could I get a brief explanation of my “new” race before I continue?

  Fuck me gently. So until I can steal someone’s face, I am likely to be attacked on sight if they have any clue as to what I am? That’s just fucking peachy. Well, no point caterwauling about it. Nothing I can do anyway. And to be honest I have a feeling that if I had chosen Shadow, it would have been similar or even worse.

  I guess it’s time to move on to utilizing beginner points.

  I’m not sure if that is a lot or not, but it is nice to know that my injuries got me something with this whole thing. Doubling what I would have had available should be useful.

  How about we take a look at the Titles first.

  Well, those first 2 are definitely interesting. The third has merit, but I really don’t want to be forced into solitude by my choices here. I’m going to have a hard enough time just with my racial… problems as it is. The last one is right out. That might have been an interesting choice if I had a different path and knew what I was doing here, and where here was. I don’t want to limit myself for instant skill growth. So, I won’t. Honestly, that description, uuuggh.

  Alright so I have my Titles selected. What’s next?

  Looks like I can't access titles anymore. One of my Titles gave me some skills, so let’s see if a Perk will do the same.

  THERE IT IS! I don’t think I can afford to spend more than this. I think I should skip out on the Multi-Processing perk. It would be nice, but the cost to gain doesn’t balance in my opinion (what do I know? Nothing.) Okay. Basic Knowledge is a really expensive must, linguist is also a must. Ambidextrous will be useful when pretending to be someone. And while True Regeneration looks like it could be dangerous, I think guaranteeing that if I am not dead that my body is in the best condition it can be is important. I don't want to spend any more on perks, without knowing what the other sections will cost me so I stop reading through the list. 34500 points down.

  11000 points left for skills, items and attributes. I chose

  I’m thankful the Infiltrator Pack gave back most of the extra points that would have been wasted on the skills previously gained from my title. With that done I should have a decent chance of living long enough to at least meet another person. I hope. Now is that it for the Self Editor?

  Ah. So I don’t just have the face I was given? Now I have to design my base form as a Doppel? Well, let’s take a look at me.

  All of a sudden, I was looking at myself (I think). If I concentrated on one feature I could change it. I took my time, tweaking the features bit by bit. It seemed that my features could range from femininely masculine to masculinely feminine. I know my description is confusing. Believe me the entire process and results were too. Also of note, when the racial description said Doppels are androgynous, it wasn’t joking. In both the current and ancient meanings of the word.

  I’m not sure if I was a male or a female before all this happened. I couldn’t give myself purely masculine or feminine features though. The screen would revert back to the initial look whenever I tried. I guess I am bound to a gender indeterminate life now. As my base form at least.

  In the end I designed myself to be 190cm tall, with 78 cm long arms, 95 cm long legs, slightly pointed ears, emerald green eyes, short black hair, on a rounded face, and a fit but not excessively muscular body.

  Freedom! For good or for ill. Now before I do anything else, I’d like to check my current status again now that the whole self editing thing is complete. Check out what abilities I received, and see if I can figure out how this whole thig works.

  Huh? What’s with the locked title?

  Ahh. Dang. Welp, no point in worrying. Not like I’ll know what I’m missing out on. Just like my past.

  Can I sort out my skills a bit though? That’s really ugly. Ah-hah! I can, just have to concentrate on what I want. Okeydokie then. I am going to put the perks and skills on a secondary screen, that way I only have to look at them if I want to see what level they are at.

  Now to take a look at the abilities granted.

  Looks like my skill levels determine how useful my abilities will be.

  What do attributes do?

  Well that is informative. Not that I'll remember most of this.

  Now, what say we get up and have a look around. See if I can recognize anything. I also need to try and find those items that I used points to get.
