It's been a day, the forum got buried, no new votes. PROGRESS!!
You thank Alice for listening to your troubles then go to cool your head in the freezer of her fancy refrigerator, wait. You notice several things someone of her salary would normally never be able to afford. You ask her about it, and you see her turn pale for a few seconds. She explains to you that she is a member of the most well respected mafia in the state, she asks if you want to get back at the company and your fiance, without thinking you agree. She says within the week the company will be gone and done for with her help. And, well... let's just say the man we saw that day won't be seeing your fiance again.
1 week later
Alice informs you that the old company discovered the mafia was involved in their collapse and tells you to grab a gun from her weapons cabinet, you see several guns that interest you, but a man of your experience shouldn't be handling anything above a pistol. Alice hands you a silencer and tells you to practice some in her underground shooting range. What did you focus on most?
Alright guys, we can now pick starting skills, the introduction is over, and we have our first mission. I'll put the skill choices under a spoiler
Gun Skills
Marksman - Imrpoves accuracy, and how far away you can no scope enemies from.
Mechanic - Who needs a "professional" to fix your gun when you have duct tape?
Gun Comprehension - This is what you need to use better guns, otherwise you'll be in more pain than the enemy.
Reloading - This can save your life in high enough levels, comes with an automatic 5 comprehension, if made main focus it has 10 comprehension, and another takes its place.
Melee Skills
Fencing - Something you dabbled with in college, you NEED this if you want to use knives and swords.
Boxing - Requires no weapons, and you can use brass knuckles to increase your damage.
Kick Boxing - Steel toed boots increase the damage of this.
Muay Thai - If used correctly killing something with your bare fists isn't just a pipe dream anymore.
Speech Skills
Negotiator - We'll need this if we want to avoid a gang war.
Ladies Man - One of Freed's own desires is a wife and child, if we don't accomplish this then I'll use Random.org to find out if he commits suicide in EVERY update after he grows depressed.

If you can't decide on what you want to vote for then just say random.
