Your skills will be determined by your character's abilities and background, and will be provided by me when you message your CS. Everyone will begin at level one, with five starting skills each at one point of mastery. New skills can be learned based on your experience during the game. For instance, if you are an office worker that has never shot a gun a day in his/her life but is forced to use a gun during the events of the game, perhaps even training with it, the Shooting skill can be earned. Level ups will occur after a major goal has been accomplished, and will only take effect once your character has fallen asleep and awoken. While what skills you earn are based on what you do, your skill improvement (IP) is entirely up to you.
