Okay, OCs are coming in, the only question remains...

What's going to be reader class? Multitasking will be possible but later on and of course it won't be as efficient but we have to start with something.

You start off as human but might change to another race if it's possible to achieve with power or ritual.

You'll be starting off in Empire lands but you won't have any affiliation so if you want to go to the Realm of Sands and for their Mistress to impress her you might do that as well... Or go to Order and request to become a squire / priest and be tested to give up your physical form and become immortal armored wraith... Just, you know, forget about any real 'contact' unless your significant other also becomes a soul knight.

Also, what I mean by advanced classes is : as a Rogue you won't be able to become Knight but as Warrior you will, other way around you won't become Assassin or Kunoichi as Warrior but might do it with Rogue. Archer will never become Loremaster but he'll excell as Stalker while Mage will never be a good Ranger but can become High Inquisitor or Cultist.

Think over the choices, look over all classes and races I mentioned in lore and decide because this choice will affect whole story.

Warrior

Pretty obvious. You're gonna be big and burly, capable of using the heaviest weapons and armor. With enough training you're gonna become melee killing machine that will be capable of amazing feats of strength. May achieve the highest heavy warrior classes.

Rogue

Light class that specilizes on using light weapons to engage with enemy. Not really tanky but can use light armor for protection and can sneak around. Pretty good at taking down single targets. May achieve the highest light warriors classes. May also learn to master medium armor.

Archer

Light class that uses ranged weapons and light armor. May also master light armor. May pick between using bows, crossbows or throwing weapons. The only class that can master range combat classes. Good mix between taking down small groups or single targets.

Mage

Start off as apprentice who has self taught some basic magic but you might eventually become archmage and achieve the power to use all types of magic but it will be a long road and until you'll become truly powerful you'll need support or you'll be overrun. Can only use clothes and light armor.
