	When a character ventures out into space, they put themselves at risk of injury and death; with greater risk in certain areas and with certain occupations. Each character can brave death several times before eventually succumbing to their injuries. When a character is "killed", they are revived at the nearest medical hub with new injuries and implants, leading to a scarred, rugged character. Eventually, a character that has died too many times will be truly killed, and the beneficiary named in character creation will inherit that characters' life.<ref name="robertsspaceindustries.com"/>		When a character ventures out into space, they put themselves at risk of injury and death; with greater risk in certain areas and with certain occupations.

'''Player characters''' are the "avatars" of the players of [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]. These characters follow our commands and allow us to act through them, ultimately affecting both the universe and the players around us.
