What kind of classes and races are available?
Class is not appropriate for this system, the player may or may not choose a background for the character, but the character is defined by his skills and attributes, not a class. There are three races available, all of which are human: Flame, River and Mixed. The racial composition of the player’s party can have a huge affect on gameplay, influencing the magics available to a character, the items and skills he can learn and the people he can interact with. How do characters develop in the course of play? Characters gain improve based on how they use their skills within the game and when they complete quests. There is no simple experience point system, rather it is based entirely upon skill use with occassional opportunites to assign points as the player sees fit. How do their characteristics affect gameplay? Both combat and non-combat skills play very important roles and the characters react differently to the player depending on the racial and sexual composition of the party. Will I h
