Roles

Overview

Your role is who you are. It determines your goals, starting equipment, responsibilities, and access. Do not however pick a role solely for the purpose of getting nice things, you are expected to play as it. If you want to roam freely with as little responsibilities as possible, being an Assistant is your best bet.

Most roles require you to have played on Sol's Descendants for a minimum amount of time and/or spent a minimum amount of time in a certain department or role. This time accumulates in real time by being in an active game round and in the relevant department or role.

Some roles (meant for beginners) become inaccessible when you have a certain amount of time in roles or departments. This is indicated in the tables with a maximum time (for example <10h). For example: the Technical Assistant role becomes inaccessible after spending 10 hours total in the Engineering department. The idea is to prevent experienced players from blocking these roles for new player who want to learn.
