I'm not busy today, so I'll be working on the OOC along with Twilight. As for the class list, I've created a barebones one for the mean time. I might add/remove classes later on, but this is the general list that I've come up with. If there are any requests for certain classes, or questions for why certain classes aren't there, ask away.
There is a 'class change' sort of thing like the games have, but it will be limited by a fair amount, given that we will not be using a stats system. For example, a Myrmidon will not be able to become a Mage; to me, that is a ridiculous change. A Myrmidon could decide to become a Sword Knight if their character likes horses and wishes to become a mounted swordfighter.
WEAPON CLASSES
Lord (Sword or Lance) → Knight Lord (Sword/Lance/Horse)
Lord (Axe) → Great Lord (Axe/Sword)
Fighter (Axe) → Warrior (Axe/Bow) or Hero (Axe/Sword)
Mercenary (Sword) → Hero (Sword/Axe) or Ranger (Sword/Bow/Horse)
Myrmidon (Sword) → Swordmaster (Sword) or Assassin (Sword/Dagger/Knife)
Thief (Dagger/Knife) → Rogue (Dagger/Knife) or Assassin (Sword/Dagger/Knife)
(*for these classes, I know that their Paladin counterparts only use their specific weapon type in Radiant Dawn, but with the absence of third tier classes (a reason which I'll cover at a later time), I'll be supplementing that with their ability to use a second weapon type depending on what each third tier was given access to in the game*)
Lieutenant (Lance/Armored) → General (Lance/Axe/Sword/Armored) or Great Knight (Lance/Axe/Sword/Armored/Horse)
Soldier (Lance) → Halberdier (Lance/Armored)
Pirate (Axe) → Berserker (Axe) or Warrior (Axe/Bow)
Archer (Bow) → Sniper (Bow) or Ranger (Bow/Sword/Horse)
(**essentially the same as a Ranger, only their 'lores' would be different: Rangers would be like mercenaries, while Nomad Troopers are like tribespeople)
As for Laguz, all species are available: you could be a typical tiger, or a frog, or even a gerbil. In place of that, however, there are certain species that have been pushed to the brink of extinction or are full blown extinct (just ask me beforehand and I'll tell you if whatever species you choose is endangered and rare in number or whatever).
As a result, there is a certain hierarchy of animals in each 'tribe' - for example, the "Beast Tribe" is still ruled by Lions, and the "Bird Tribes" have a power struggle between the Hawks, Ravens, and Eagles (which used to be the ones in control until their dying numbers was an exploited weakness for the Hawks and Ravens).
With the way I have the setting... set up, there are two major portions of land that are divided close to the middle; the Western and Eastern Separations. Nations are spread out among these two land masses, with one in each separation garnering the most influence of its specific separation.
Ha gerbil laguz XD. So the class list, is that the classes that are available? The tier ones obviously. As for laguz, considering there is a beast tribe. I'm guessing tigers and cats those would still be around and not extinct?
If you are interested, please say so in the OOC so I know exactly who and how many people we will have! If it gets too large, I might have to close it off at that certain number.
