  • Programming – This aspect of the skill allows the use to design and develop functional programs.

Outsider can be taken as a Minor or Major Hindrance.  Taking it as a Major Hindrance means the character is of the lowest of the undesirables – tainted” genetic lines with non-Ayran ethnicities.  In game, it means there is something physical that makes their status obvious – skin color, facial feature or physical tattoo for instance.  As a Major Hindrance, the character gains the effects of Poverty as well.
