~ Character Classes ~

Classes vs. Occupations
Character Class is what you are, something you train to be. It is not your Occupation, more commonly known as "job", unless you make it so.
Example: Nynx is a Healer (her class) but is also a nurse (occupation).
Example 2: Jamal is an Archer (his class) but mans his family farm (occupation).
I'm having trouble finding a class right for me...
If there is a class you would like to use that is not on this list, please ask a mod for permission first. Any class that you personally create may only pull traits from a max of two preexisting classes.
Side note: If you are not an elemental, you may not use elemental abilities regardless of class. With the birth of the elementals, that magic surrounds them and only them as they have a direct connection to it. A.k.a No shooting fireballs, summoning rain, shrouding yourself in darkness or light (even though those elementals have died off), etc. There is a reason elementals have ruled the world for this long.
