Looking at playing in the Manhattan missions in a couple weeks-- the GM wants to build up a buffer of Season 4 missions-- and I've been trying to figure out what the badge codes mean. So far, I have:

Black: extremely limited (criminal? Person of interest?)
Red: limited visitor
Blue: ?
Blue with white: ?
white: ?

Also pondering having a character rent an apartment, possibly with a (fake) student SIN-- what kind of lifestyle cost would that require?

Thanks!

Many thanks, KarmaInferno! I try to be a good player, and do the OOC legwork as well as the IC legwork. ;)
Not to mention, I'll probably be the only player in this group with a face-like character (secondary face, 11 dice influence minus changeling penalties for being strange).

No problem.

There's additional Manhattan info in the Rotten Apple PDF supplement:

That one ya have to pay for, though.

So the group I am in is going to be moving on to Manhattan and while I have bought and read The Rotten Apple, I can't find information on passes. So I did a little digging and found this old thread. I checked the SRM4 FAQ link and its deader than disco so I thought I would ask, does anyone have a pdf for the Manhattan season? Bull, I am looking to you here ;)

There's always one PC who just can't go with the flow.  They have to have something that sets them apart.  Something blatantly obvious to everyone who plays with them.

Woo found it myself.

Passes and You (SRM 03)
Manhattan has several levels of passes that grant access to the
city and the services within, such as subway access. These are
managed in game through lifestyles and fake licenses.
White and Blue passes are available as Lifestyles. A Luxury
lifestyle includes a White Pass. A High Lifestyle includes a
Blue Pass. These passes are included with the lifestyle at no additional
cost.
If players want to purchase individual fake licenses, they may.
The permissions that come with each type of pass are explained
as follows:
White Pass: The character is treated as a full-resident and has
full access to every neighborhood and unlimited access to the
train and subway system for themselves. Unlike commuters,
full-residents are able to access all stores and boutiques without
restrictions.
Blue Pass with White Stripe: The character is treated as
a preferred commuter with regular passage to Manhattan.
While the character has full access to Manhattan’s neighborhoods
and public services, such as, the train and subway, she
is considered part of the “bridge and tunnel” crowd and may
find that she is unwelcome in certain exclusive boutiques.
Blue Pass: The character is treated as a commuter with regular
passage to Manhattan. While the character has full access
to Manhattan’s neighborhoods, the character only has access
to the train system taking them from the borough registered
as their residence to the neighborhood that their office building
is in.
Red Pass: The character is treated as a visitor to Manhattan.
While the character has full access to Manhattan’s public
neighborhoods, restricted areas such as Terminal are forbidden.
The character has no access to subway or train systems
and must use the city’s taxi and air-taxi system.
Red Pass with Black Stripe: The character is treated as a restricted
access visitor to Manhattan. While the character has
access to three of Manhattan’s public neighborhoods, restricted
areas such as Terminal are forbidden for restricted passes.
The character has no access to subway or train systems and
must use the city’s taxi and air-taxi system.
Black Pass: Considered a criminal by the Manhattan
Development Consortium, the character is permitted to
travel to a single neighborhood. A specific path from the character’s
entry point to the neighborhood will be highlighted in
AR. If the character travels more than a few blocks off of the
path, NYPD, Inc. may be notified.
