Initial extensions

The character development system of Perpetuum is quite similar to other role-playing games, but there are some key details that need further explanation.

Since your character's human form does not appear in the game, the only way to gain new abilities is to develop your digitalized, alternative ego (Spark). There are available softwares (=extensions) for all the activity types each costing a certain amount of extension points.

The experience or learning system of Perpetuum is time-based. That means destroying enemies or completing missions will not affect the amount of your available extension points. The flow rate is 1 extension point/minute for every account owner regardless of if you log in and play, or not.

Keep in mind that it's not the character who receives points, but your whole account! Let's say you have 1000 extension points, and you spend 100 on your first character. You will have 900 points remaining for all of your characters.

The extensions highlighted in yellow are those, which are received by the current decision (e.g. selecting your school). The grey ones are those you already own. The number in the bracket after the extension means the current level out of the maximum 10.
