When your first character reaches level two a secondary ability becomes available for all characters that you have, the second ability must follow the rules in the abilities section. The Moderators will help you balance said abilities, but if it looks too overpowering we reserve the right to ask you to decrease the strength of the ability to be appropriate. Though this should only occur in the case of horrific "min-maxing".
Secondary abilities are often the same type as the primary ability [[Genetic, supernatural, experimental etc.]] , but not always. They tend to sync well together, but it's not unknown for two power sets to clash. In the world of SIGMA, two abilities is a very rare character trait, considering that a very small portion of the population has them.
However, abilities are becoming increasingly common in the population of SIGMA. As of this moment it has increased to (1 in 150) births, however not all of these abilities are immediately known or even noticeable and quite benign.
The sole exception to the rule is the town of Chalk Bluffs, which was recently subject to a mixed Sigma, I22 and Majestic raid on a scientific facility. Chalk bluffs has had a 100% birth rate for individuals with abilities, often presenting with dual abilities. Researched has revealed the Forced Evolutionary Zone, or F. E. Z. an area surrounding the town that alters development of individuals gestating within the womb.
Many individuals who were once denizens of the town have moved on to other areas, and have taken their Forced Evolutionary genetics with them. This has been occurring for at least three generations prior to discovery.
The world's population is going to shift.

▶ All previous monthly prompts are now open again, however they can only be completed once per account meaning that if one of your characters has done it then the others may not.
▶ I don't like my OC and I want to switch them out, but don't want to lose their rank and EXP.
You can now transfer the rank and EXP to a new PC, however once that is done you cannot transfer the EXP and ranks back to the first character as they will drop into NPC with those same stats. Special exceptions exist, however you must inquire with the moderators.
▶ If my first OC is at least level 2 and I switch their EXP with a new character, then is that character allowed to have dual abilities in character creation or is roleplaying its development required?
On character creation is fine.
▶ I want to have a double agent, is this allowed?
At the moment no, as we would have to figure how that would get into the plot.

There has been some confusion concerning what can and can't be used as a uniform and who can and can't have informal uniforms that aren't combat ready among multiple people. We hope this announcement clears things up.
If your character is a:
▶ INF : Assassin and combat types.
▶ SOL : Pretty much every soldier melee or gunner.
▶ SUP : Or example helicopter pilot or tank driver and later into the story arc Mecha pilots.
▶ MED: For the field medic subtype (EMT/Paramedic specializations).
Then they require a military oriented uniform or urban combat oriented uniform.
Combat uniforms should be
▶ Subdued in colour and not neon (neon hair incl, but hair streaks are okay) Also Re: Eye colours are whatever you like.
▶ Should be functional, and protective and have close toed shoes.
▶ Should be at least urban combat in aesthetic if not an official type of uniform: Think Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil. Many of this outfits are not formally military, but are functional for combat.
Classes that are allowed non military outfits:
▶INF: Hacker subtype and espionage subtype - Hackers do not really leave the base much. Espionage change outfits a lot and blend into crowds. They aren't required to participate in combat.
▶ MED: Doctors and nurses are expected to wear clothing that is suitable for the hospital environment, it can be casual work wear. Often a lab coat will be required, and will give off that medical worker impression.
▶TEC: If you TEC is not combat oriented in general, so they need clothing that is appropriate for working with machinery - but it is allowed to be casual work wear.
▶ Everyone is required to wear close toed shoes.
However, if a character shows in mission and has no example of a combat uniform on their application it is assumed that they will be wearing one of the generic uniforms in the place of their uniforms if one isn't specified. Like in the image below:
