PARG
Permanent ARG

Hi there!

First, sorry for my english, this is not my native language.

QUICK INTRODUCTION
I am building a PARG, MMO equivalent of an ARG. Permanent ARG; sandbox story ongoing for a year with or without players interactions. Of course players interactions can change the result of the sandbox experience.

I have created a color level system to help out the player interaction with my actors and NPC:

- Red being one way from the player towards the game
- Orange include some game interactions with the players (SMS, Email)
- Yellow is a full bi-directional interaction (Phone call, physical events, etc...)

The game will go one for a years but for now we successfully funded the first season (3 months)

MY QUESTION
I wish to introduce class to help players tell to other what skill they have. I would like to know if some puppet master would like to brainstorm on how ARG mechanics could apply differently from one class to another. Here is the class system I have done so far:

- CyberTech : The codebreaker, specialist in all hacking related mission
- Soldier : High APM skill and in the field action (live drop)
- Scientist : Online research and investigation
- Sniper : High level of concentration, espionage, stalking and hit mission

Scientist is what I had in most of the past ARG I did (The Secret World, Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade, Yellow Curtain...) Soldier take on live drop, geo-caching and other physical related mission. CyberTech hack terminal, intranet, break code and cypher. But Sniper is a little more elusive. I wanted a class for long espionage / stalking mission, but I feel I am missing potential game mechanics for such a class.
