The way I decided to try to implement these things was by removing classes and levels, in favour of a "Constant Character Development" style of play, the idea being that your starting skills are based on your characters previous occupation before the current campaign. From there it is up to you how your character proceeds, what skills they use and how they develop as a character.
Your options on developing your character range from focusing all your efforts into maybe being the best Surgeon or Doctor possible, Training yourself in a variety of skills and becoming a jack of trades or simply focusing in being a mercenary for hire.
Your characters goals and motivations are up to you, the way you play is up to you, the final future of your character is all. up. to. you!

The setting for PASSIVE™ is that of a future where humanity (Called the Khin in this) has spread out amongst the stars to colonize other planets, so being set in the future you can expect alien races with varying technological levels and society's, interstellar faster then light travel, energy based weapons, and yes; even MECH ON MECH BATTLES!


Keep in mind that this IS an ongoing project, the fact I've been working on it for the past 3 years (admittedly not continuously) means that I've worked out a few base rules, but still the majority of the game is still either empty or barebones.
If you wish to put forward ideas and help out, any help would be greatly appreciated, though this is my baby, so don't take it badly if I reject your input.

As I work on the RPG, I shall be updating this thread with the information, I'll never take away anything I've posted, even if I decide that it either wouldn't work and come up with another way of doing something, I'll simply move it to another part labeled something like Outdated/Unused Information, that way some of you may be able to take it and make something that could work out of it.


A final thought. I would appreciate it if no one openly ripped off any of my information for personal gain, like I've stated a few times, I have been working on this a long LONG time and hopefully plan on being able to produce a working RPG game by the end of it... I plan on receiving no money or donations whilst having this thread up, if you REALLY want to help out in any way I welcome it, but my main goal of this is to make something people want to play and works.
