Players choose three training programs, which both describes their career history and how many points go into each attribute (called VERBs since you always use one in challenges), and each training program gives them an ADJECTIVE (ie. 'quick', 'logical', 'patient') which can be called upon during challeges for a small bonus to rolls.  These are always helpful and permanent adjectives; players can acquire temporary or harmful adjectives during the game.

Player characters also start with three CONNECTIONs, chosen from the campaign setting's guidbook (the city's "Transmission" dossier).  The character has a relationship with each connection described by an adjective; players are discouraged from choosing the same adjective as any other relationship of theirs or other player characters.  These connections can be called upon before the game for favours to improve the character, or during the game for favours, but each time players use these connections, they become more involved in the plot.

Players also start the game with some useful OBJECTs, which have adjectives of their own.  It is advisable for each character to have the adjectives "linked," "display" and some form of "input" so that character can access the ubiquitous Internet-equivalent at any time.
