The Dossier

2 min read

Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.

Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.

Profile text

What it is

Let the city know who you are, or keep them guessing. Your profile is a card: a round photo on a city strip, then rank, respect, cash and achievements. A lock means others cannot see that field. You still see your own numbers. Editing sits in a sheet, not open on the page. Message and send cash sit in the header of someone else's profile. Photos are checked first. What you hide (rank, respect, city, family, achievements, cash or stats) stays hidden from others, including lists and search. Hide your rank and it stays hidden in lists too. How much street cash someone carries is never public. Searching for part of a name uses the same list as Players. Hidden rank and respect stay hidden.

Where to find it

Your own profile, via your name. You open someone else's profile via their name.

How it works

The text is at most 400 characters.

No links and no slurs. The same filter as messages.

There's 15 seconds between two edits.

A new photo is checked first. Until then only you see it, labelled under review. Others only see an approved photo.

Your profile shows the style you bought. The button opens the shop in Arsenal.

Under the name it says since when the account exists, in the date form of your language. If that date is missing, the line stays hidden.

Without a photo you see a gold silhouette in a fedora. A photo under review is a small label, not a bar across the photo.

Costs, returns and limits

Costs nothing. The style by your name come from the pieces you wear, not from your bio. The title line sits under the nickname. The chip next to it says whether the piece is on.
