For anyone wishing to play a character, just follow the steps shown in the image. Listed below is also a text-based summary as a sort of assistant primer to help provide clarity to your choices.

Step One: Get a Job
Characters begin play with a Job of their choosing, which can also be considered their class. Jobs provide proficiencies for weapons, and a subtle means to equip gear other than the character's arsenal. This includes new clothes, armour, and accessories. There is now also the option of starting as a Gobbo race, which is an option taken in addition to a job.
Note: The first letter of your Job's name will be your designation (Shown to be [A] [B] [C] [G] [H] [R] or [W] currently)

Step 2: Educate Yourself!
From your Job, pick two skills. An example would be a Highwayman taking [Aim] and [Threaten] after choosing a Rifle for their weapon. This allows them to constantly improve their chance to hit with their shots on top of dealing extra damage, and the ability to cover allies through intimidation.

Any two skills from that class are suitable.

If you decided to choose a Gobbo, then you only pick one skill from your class. The second skill is chosen from your racial options between [Beast Tamer] and [Journeyman].

Step Three: Arm Yourself
Of your available proficiencies, pick one. You'll get the standard weapon of that group, which will be visible in the next image for full detail. A summary of the weapon groups will be listed below.

Melee Weapons

Axe - Blade-headed weapons with a high damage output and capacity for inflicting a variety of debilitations on defenders.
>Carver - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Str: B] Traits: Beast Killer, Harvest

Hammer - Blunt-headed weapons with a high damage output. Focuses on denying defenders advantages directly.
>Humility - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Str: C, End: C] Traits: Power Smash, Smash

Knife - Short, bladed weapons with a tendency towards devious or clever strategies. Best in the hands of an opportunist.
>Promise - Hit: A, Dmg: D [Dex: A, Spd: B] Traits: Backstab, Anticipate

Polearm - Length weapons that employ establishing an advantage for the wielder. Overall well-rounded and capable of fitting to any playstyle.
>Company - Hit: B, Dmg: B [Str: C, Dex: B, Att: D] Traits: Beatdown, Sweep

Sword - Bladed weapons of simple enough design for anyone to employ. Flexible in use and able to be effective with any wielder.
>Duty - Hit: B, Dmg: C [Str: C, Dex, C, Spd: C] Traits: Cleave, Slice

Shield - Wielded protection. Standard issue to anyone who begins play with an Axe, Crossbow, Hammer, Pistol, or Sword.
>Switch - [HP: C, Str: C, End: C] Traits: Impact Brace, Slam

Ranged Weapons

Bow - Always held in two hands, employs the skills of the user the most. Often holds more traits than other weapon types.
>Ranger - Hit: B, Dmg: C [Dex: B, Spd: B, Att: B] Traits: Beast Killer, Flurry Shot, Imbrued Shot, Puncture Shot

Crossbow - Fires smaller, heavier projectiles than a bow. A good alternative for anyone not willing to train in archery.
>Pinion - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Dex: C, Att: B] Traits: Imbrued Shot, Pierce Shot

Pistol - Compact, hand-held firearms. Powerful and intimidating, but difficult to aim while in combat.
>Outlaw - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Dex: B, Spd: C, Att: D] Traits: Richocet, Speed Loader

Rifle - Long-barrel firearms. Stronger and mildly easier to aim, but slow to recover.
>Persuasion - Hit: C, Dmg: A [Dex: B, Spd: C, Att: C] Traits: Point Blank


Step Four: Deploy
Just fill out this character sheet and have the top line in your post name, and you'll be ready for play!
Note: Make sure to always post your character sheet when you post actions, take your turn, or otherwise are doing something in game. Also be sure to link to posts you're interacting with. Think of it like the wire on a classic controller: you can't play if it's not connected!

The prince charges forth, shouting a command before his blade swings. "I banish you to the darkness!" The blade slices open Fawkes, and shatters the skull when following through. As the remains of the traitor falls to the cobbled stone, a disembodied voice echoes throughout the streets.

"Fool, I am Fawkes, letter of blood. I'm already one with the blood, one with god. I live within the darkness! I live within the void!" As the final pieces dissipate to ash, the voice lets loose a laugh of madness. Surely he will be seen again.

"-first to die!"

With a flourish of his weapon, Fawkes splits into four copies of himself. Each takes a step away from the other and one [Cleaves] the duo standing at the stairwell.

This is the final path. Proceeding from Path A will take one extra turn to show up onto this screen, and proceeding from Path B will have the characters show up next turn.

You may now act. Please be sure to link your posts. Hope everyone has a nice day!
