I loved "Meet the Skills" in DE and I'm loving it here.

Be interesting to see how you translate some of the skills (like Authority and Esprit de Corps) to a setting where all of the OCs aren't expected to be cops.
Authority is mostly unchanged, just tweaked so that it's relevant to your OC's background and narrative context. In another way, Authority also evaluates how assertive you are and how to control others. Esprit de Corps reflects your OC's sense of belonging to a social group or clique they're part of, so it can be anything like the book club you're part of to the company you're working for, if that makes sense!


Psyche skills are up next!

I have a question regarding the plot! Will this be able to support slice-of-life threads or is this going to be more serious in tone?
You can definitely have slice-of-life plots, and you're free to opt out of participating in site plots (that would probably be more serious in tone). There may be events where it can affect the environment of the city (e.g. political upheaval, etc.) but there are also other locations you can roleplay that's not confined to Elysium City. Hope that answers your question!

Next up are Physique skills:
