Tier 1: Bystanders are the only native Tier 1 archetype.
Karma Cost: 0. Bystanders will never require Karma to play.
Focus Points: Bystanders receive no focus points. However, they get all the shared traits all Professional Focus Classes get at level one, allowing Bystanders to have higher wealth and education stats at Tier One than other Tier One characters, to promote Bystander play.
Age Range: 18-100.
Modifiers: None. Changing your Archetype to a Tier 2 Archetype loses you the Karma Battery trait.
Advancement: Can become a Regular Human, Rookie Metahuman, or Prototype Synthetic. Staff approval is required.
Karma Battery: We believe that the Bystander is the most important archetype in SuperMUD. We would like every player to consider maintaining a Bystander alt, and especially for this Bystander alt to be involved in action scenes in SuperMUD, to serve as witnesses (for court scenes for example), hostages, and most importantly, victims of collateral damage. To reward players, Bystanders will permanently be in our game design as the easiest way to gain karma.
