This nanotechnology allows those who can effectively control it to perform feats that appear almost magical. The Omni-Tek Corporation has set out to monopolize this technology, and thus colonizes the planet to make their job that much easier. It is at this time that the game begins. From the minute a player enters the world of Anarchy Online , he or she is completely immersed in Rubi-Ka. Many options are given during character design so that different characters in Rubi-Ka can be easily distinguished.
Players can then configure everything from height to weight to hair color and style.
Next up is the job selection, where one of twelve subclasses can be chosen, including Soldier, Martial Artist, Nanotechnician, Fixer, Meta-Physicist, Doctor, Adventurer, Agent, Engineer, Enforcer, Bureaucrat, and Trader. Players can choose between working for Omni-Tek, rebelling with the Clan, or becoming completely independent and playing both sides. Once the character enters a town, the skill points must be distributed between over sixty-five different skills. Even from the very beginning of the game, a character can become truly unique. A booth in town can be visited by players looking for adventure.
