   * We always appreciate more detail about your character's history.
+**Please note:** There is only so much that one person can achieve alone, so you will find that your contacts you gain from your backgrounds are far more useful to you than any personal abilities you might have.

-IC, the characters in Classified meet up once a month on an online Virtual Reality chatroom called #CLASSIFIED#. OC, players meet up at (location TBC) every Tuesday during term-time to play their characters' online avatars. Sessions start at 7.30pm and finish at 10.30, with some time for players to be briefed on the results of their turnsheets before play starts.

 As the game is set on a Virtual Reality chatroom, players can come to session in any form they like. If you can come up with the costume, you can wear it to session! (Offensive or indecent costumes excepted). This also means that there is no combat or task resolution during sessions (hacking takes too long to do and is too complex to do during a meeting) - if you think you can do something unusual in-session, ask a GM!

 You may take one Investigate, one Socialise and one Act action in your turnsheet, each of which can be doing entirely different things.
-Finding information from your contacts is more likely to get good results, since they're almost certainly better placed than you to find out what you need to know. Trying to go out and find the information yourself is always more difficult and more risky - that's why you have contacts! However, your contacts are people in their own right - they're unlikely to put themselves in danger unless they really trust you. Sometimes doing it yourself may be the only way.
