	'''Summary:''' This is the meat and potatoes of your application: you start with your backstory and a blank list of objectives. The '''Backstory''' is what it says it is: it's the background to your character deciding to antagonize their workplace. It gives you a reason to do what you're doing, gives you the drive to keep going when you run up against an obstacle, and gives you something to consider when negotiating if you should get caught. Enter something thoughtful here. We want to see details that would actually motivate a person to do things that could get them in serious trouble, or put them in extreme danger.		=== '''Summary:''' ===

	A good example: My daughter is very ill and I can't afford the upcoming surgery that could save her life. NT denied my raise, but a shady guy in an alley told me he could get me millions if I sabotaged the station I work on. He wants me to steal several important things, blow up the research bay, and make sure the research director dies to send a message. I don't really have a choice.

	==== Objectives: ====		=== Objectives: ===
	A blank '''objective''' has three fields, and a sliding scale which I'll talk about last. The Title is a simple title for the objective: to continue from my earlier example – The titles for three objectives might be “Steal Important Items,” “Destroy R&D,” “Kill the Research Director.” The Description should cover all of the actions you're planning on taking to complete that objective. These should be specific enough to tell you what you want to accomplish, and perhaps a worst case scenario, but you aren't expected to describe every single way it can go wrong. If you have a reasonable expectation of something destructive or lethal happening, then you should include that in the description.

	'''''It's very important for you to set your intensity appropriately.''''' Don't set an assassination as an Intensity 2 objective, and don't set a theft as Intensity 5.

	It will detail and allow selection of all of the equipment that you'll ask for in order to accomplish your objectives. The tabs are each pretty self explanatory, and contain a full list of the possible equipment you can select. When selecting equipment, please consider what you need to complete your objectives. Don't try to haggle with admins by high-balling your initial request. This is supposed to be tied to the backstory and justifications you wrote earlier, and is supposed to be appropriate for your character. If you're a shy assistant who gets along well with their coworkers being manipulated by shadowy syndicate men to betray NT, bold and flashy martial arts or dangerous, destructive explosives aren’t going to make a whole lot of sense.

	Don't ask for guns if you don't have any objectives of intensity 3 or above, unless you can provide some kind of reasonable gimmick that requires them (like Arms Dealer, for example, which would probably be Intensity 2 due to its spreading of illegal material). Probably don't ask for ammunition if you don't have guns, unless you’re getting creative with something. Don’t ask for explosives for a theft objective. If you’ve justified your objectives properly, what equipment is necessary should be pretty clear.
