Journey to Greatness
    The town of Al'Grad, kingdom of Nilas, was quite and stagnant, sliding constantly to it's own death as people just trudged through their pathetic lives never trying to become anything more.  The year is currently 240 of the New Dawn era in the world of Ethien, and this year is when you have decided to become more then just another peasant.  You've trained your whole life so far to start your journey, and be damned if you won't get what you strive to become.

Info on the world of Ethien:
Magic exists but is incredibly taxing on those who wield it, it is also illegal in all forms in the kingdom of Nilas.
When born everyone is designated a profession, status, and town to live in.  Not doing as told by the monarchy is treason and people are routinely executed for trying to lead free lives.
Connections with the outside world was cut off over 200 years ago, and as such your knowledge past the kingdom's borders is non-existent.
The technology level is medieval.

Rules:
Everyone is Human.
All character sheets and actions must be pm'ed.  You are allowed to say what you are planning in the thread, of course you are also allowed to lie.
Other then that, stay within reason, and have fun.
1d10 will be used for all actions, with 1 being incredible failure and 10 being over-shot.  in-between rolls will have various effects depending on the action.

First 5 people will be accepted, others will be put on a waiting list.

Stats:
Strength-Affects damage, carrying ability, strength reliant actions, and crafting that denotes strength ex: Wood Cutting, Smithing

Important Starting Skills:
Melee Combat- Modified by strength, constitution, agility, and dexterity in order from most important to least.  Denotes general skill with all forms of melee weaponry including unarmed attacks.  Can only become level 3 before being capped, after that training into weapon specializations is necessary.

Ranged Combat-Modified by Dexterity, agility, and strength in order from most important to least.  Denotes general hand-eye coordination when dealing with fighting at a distance, capped at level 3.

People Skills-Affects actions dealing with people from persuasion, to bartering, to just getting information from them.  Capped at level 3.

Magic:
Devided into 5 categories, but they tend to overlap a bit at the edges.  There is rumor of a 6th school of magic, but it is currently unavailable.

The Unseen:A school of magic devoted to powers of the mind, practitioners gain the abilities to read minds, see over large distances, influence people, and even create invisible weapons and barriers.  Based in Willpower, secondary in intelligence.

The Ritualistic-A school of magic devoted to preparation, and powers of the spirit.  Practitioners have huge fields of skills, but their magic requires planning, fore-thought and sometimes sacrifices.  Magic in this field is cabible of summoning demons and spirits, and enchanting items, while also having secondary roots in alchemy and The Unseen, however unlike other schools they are not able to use magic without runes, magic-circles, or special items and books.  Based in Intelligence, second in Willpower.

True Power-A school of magic devoted to primal forces.  Practitioners are rarely subtle but require little to no preparation or strict training.  Their Magic is restricted to the elements with the addition of bodily magics such as augmenting strength or healing.  Based in Willpower and second in strength and constitution.

The Order-While not technically illegal or exactly magic, this school is devoted to the worship of higher powers, which may or may not actually exist.  Their Magic varies upon their beliefs but is fundamentally in healing others, calling holy power to help them or harm their foes, and protecting themselves and others.  Based equally in Intelligence and Willpower.

The Crafters-This school of magic is solely based in creating and destroying, whether it is potions, people or weapons, they can not work without raw materials.  However with the materials they require, and planning and focus they are capable of nearly anything physical.  Of course this broad range of specialization comes at a cost, whatever they do is usually weaker then what another mage would do.  With the exception however with making non-magical objects, something only they are innately capable of.

Turn 0:Good Morning
Ahra:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You hear the work bells ring off in the distance, they chime 3 times meaning it's recommended wake-up time.  Rolling out of bed you stretch and feel the dust crack on your arms, showers have been broken for the last week and it's getting bad, there's been fighting over sponges.  Looking about your little shack you sigh, a cot, a chair, a wooden box with some ancient bread in it that doubles as a table, and a small pot tied to the wall for water.  You turn around and grab your pickaxe, you sleep with it in your fists people are always trying to steal it.  You get up and look out the door, the other 9 miners are emerging from their similar little shacks and working their way towards the breakfast area, smells like semi-rotting porridge again.  You have about 20 minutes before the guards will come and herd you all into the mines.

Dwarmin:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You feel a streak of light fall on your face, groaning you roll over just to have the sheets ripped off of you.  You look up and smile when you see Cassandra lean over to kiss you.  Sighing you realize it's soon time for business for her and unless you want to pay with money you don't have to spend time with your beloved you need to leave before the noble pigs arrive.  Today was however your day off, but sadly her job never ended.  At least it was early morning.

Cerapa:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The sun peeks up over the distant hills and light falls into your bedroom.  The circle you had been working on fizzles and turns to smoke as the light hits it, interesting side effect for something that summons a fucking apple.  You bang your head against the floor while trying to imagine what was wrong with that one.  From outside your door you can hear the foreman yell  "GOOD You're up Jonny boy, get your lazy ass down to the work yard I hear the shipment of tar has arrived and I think you're the perfect person to tar in the new roads, sound like fun!"  You sigh and reply with an enthusiastic Yes Sir, unless he decides to make you tar the road with your bare hands.

Pyrate:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You hear the school bell ring once, must be morning already.  Grading those planning schedules for the little noble bastards who get to choose their jobs took you all bloody night, and they will be arriving within the hour.  However this early the security for the night has probably left, and the teachers except you shouldn't have arrived yet.  The Restricted Libraries are only a 10 minute walk away, and you have about 50 minutes until anyone starts arriving.

Tersr:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You hear the work call being yelled out and get dressed, combed, and have eaten breakfast before you realize it's your day off.  You contemplate going back to bed but realize that there's about a hundred productive things you could do today, such as running private messages for a bit of extra coin.

Ehm k, so please only restrict your reading to your own spoiler, unless your spoiler happens to include specific instructions to read another spoiler.  So accepting turn pm's now.
