As you take the first step in creating your character, you determine which Volume they belong too. A Volume is like a special book from which you can choose things for your character. You just answer three simple yes or no questions, and you get the **Volume** given the exact combination. Here are the questions:
1. Does your Operative live under a false identity? _There are many reasons to do so, but this gives life another level of complexity. Operative will end up a Runner, Professional, Insider, or Crusader._
2. Has your Operative killed someone before? _Murder is extreme, but sometimes necessary. Operative will end up a Irregular, Professional, Rector, or Crusader_
