System ideas, because I don't get paid enough to format

Class (splicer) limitations ; Your basic mage/archer/warrior group is in that order Houdini/Lead Head/Spider

You will get a discount to your bonused area, in addition to the flat out bonuses you may get.

Houdini; The plasmid junkies. You get THREE, that's right, not one not, not two, but three, plasmid points to start out with. In addition all future plasmid upgrades come at a -1 price for you. (Laugh at the inferiority of your peers who must pay 3 ADAM for what you buy with 2!) You also get +3 in your EVE skill.

Lead Head; The ones who still work the triggers. Their hands jus' ain't mangled enough yet the pansies. You can start with two main weapons instead of one main weapon and a pistol. All future gun upgrades are -1 cost for you. You get a +2 firearm bonus and a free +1 to your health at creation.

Spiders; You wiry freaks shouldn't bend that way. You start with an additional free melee weapon. You don't get any sweet discounts, so you get more base bonuses. +3 Climbing, +2 Reflexes, +1 melee at creation. However you're also wiry, not bulky. So a -2 starting health.

--------
Job: Where you found your niche in Rapture. What you did before crap went down. Not your history as much as where you found you were useful once the city was built. This effects your melee weapon to start with.

Artist; You performed, sang, sculpted, painted etc. +1 Reflexes if you were a physical (painting/sculpting) artist, +1 Persuasion otherwise.
Athlete; You played golf, baseball, football, or soccer. +1 Melee, or reflexes.
Officer; You enforced the law, or as much as Ryan's will passes for the law at least. +1 firearm.
Dockworker; You were the backbone of industry. Or maybe a lowly smuggling parasite. +1 P.def or sneak.
Engineer; You kept things working fine, and now that you don't have to do that you remember how to open them up again. +1 Hacking.
Doctor; You helped (or hurt) the people with medicine. +1 Medicine.
Researcher; You helped develop the tonics that damned the city. +1 Eve or +1 Science.

Traits. These are the hooks and edges of your character. A GM will give you two or three once your character is accepted, these are primarily for plot purposes.

You can never remove a trait. They can be added by GMs however.

------
COSTUMES. These are what you wear. Your starting outfit will not confer any bonuses to you. All bonus granting outfits/pieces are bought or found.

A costume consists of:
Your mask.
Your suit.
Your accessory.

For example, a Houdini splicer wearing a Goat's mask, a white suit, and accessorizing with a tobacco pipe.
