[quote=Azathoth] Are Guardian, Mage, Shade, or Necromancer the only options? [/quote] Here's what Brand had to say about it, [quote=Brand] I'm giving all of you free reigns on your characters, the only stipulations is that you keep them human or mostly human, and that you use the context of the world to create them, as Lucian did with demonology and vampirism. I'm giving all of you a few liberties as you create your characters. Don't feel like you're confined to the world as it is, but I do ask that you don't stray too far from it. You want your character to be part of a league of assassins? Cool, do it. Want your character to be a famous war general or pirate? Do it. Chances are the better you write and the more down-to-earth you keep it the more likely I'll allow it. As GM I'll be the one keeping all of your characters on level ground with one another; I don't intend for characters being able to steamroll one another, so don't worry about that. Just remember, anyone can die. [/quote] So basically, do what you want, within reason.
