Creating your first agent (or Character) is very easy and this guide is designed to help walk you through the process.
The choices you make during the agent creation process will give you a headstart in your chosen career path but don't worry if you change your mind on what you want to do. If you do want to change your area of expertise it's best to not delete your agent as deleting an agent will cost you Extension Points. It's a much better idea to simply change what your agent learns to suit what you want to do rather than starting over.
You start the character creation process by designing what your agent will look like and then either choose your prefer style of game-play or choose a more advanced character creator to fine tune your agent.

You can also rotate the camera with the mouse by holding the right mouse button or move the eyes by holding the left mouse button.
