[@ClocktowerEchos] Alright that's about what I expected. Now, I don't want to give things away, partly since I'm still deciding between which two concepts I want to commit with. So what about a commoner basically becoming a warrior on her own, no being actually enlisted, but something less official. 

Sorry about being vague here, just don't want to set any expectations.

I can see her masquerading as a noble which would be a pretty cool character thing.

The other way I see this is that they've become so unnaturally gifted at a particular lore that they were snatched up by the army due to potential military value.

Currently conceptualizing both my characters while I sit through IT infrastructure buildup meetings. XD I really should be paying more attention to this. lol

Do you mind if I design my Novogorodian as an old, experienced, undisciplined, confrontational, drunk private?

The only adjective I have an issue here is old. If he was consistently  undisciplined, confrontational, and drunk, he would have eventually be removed long ago; the PRN still have standards even if they are laxed.
