4. User Personas

Facility Personnel

Facility Personnel are players who take on roles within the facility, such as reactor personnel, security, and maintenance. They are responsible for managing reactor and facility incidents, including meltdowns, freeze-downs, overloads, and self-destruction. Their primary goal is to ensure the safety and security of the facility by responding to emergencies and coordinating with other players.

External Emergency Responder

External Emergency Responders are players who take on roles outside the facility, such as hazmat, fire department, police, FBI, and homeland security. They drive vehicles and respond to facility alerts, incidents, raids, and evacuation or lockdown situations. Their primary goal is to assist in managing active emergencies and ensure the safety of the facility and its personnel.
