Classes

Classes are subcategories within a singular or group of species that serve to differentiate characters by appearance, skill set, traits, and attributes. In Fortune, both Ninjas and regular players are differentiated by class.

Overview
In addition to choosing to play as one of several species (or just one species, for non-Ninjas), Fortune players will choose to play as one of several different player classes. Though each player class in Fortune has a distinct appearance, dress, and skill set, player classes are designed to be balanced, with no class intended to be clearly better overall than any other. Obviously, however, all classes for Forum Ninjas are vastly superior than those available to regular players.

There are three classes for Ninjas:
 * Shadow Ninja
 * Ninja Wizard
 * Ninja Warrior

There are also three classes for non-Ninjas:
 * Serf
 * Beggar
 * Mine Worker

Differences Between Ninja Classes
The Shadow Ninja, Ninja Wizard, and Ninja Warrior classes will have different focuses, abilities, armor, and other attributes.


 * Shadow Ninjas are the reconnaissance masters of the The Metropolis, who seek, find and destroy those who want to end Humankind's seed.


 * Ninja Warriors are the powerful mechanistic soldiers of The Metropolis, equipped with powerful weapons and indomitable advanced mech-like suits of fiercely devastating power.


 * Ninja Wizards wield the power of "spells" to complement their weapons and to overpower their enemies.

Differences Between Non-Ninja Classes
As a non-Ninja, you will play as either a Serf, Beggar, or Mine Worker. These exciting classes offer a variety of different activities and features:


 * Serfs will work a designated plot of land on the outskirts of The Metropolis. You will have the exciting task of growing crops or tending livestock in order to feed the Ninjas and fuel their ongoing expeditions.


 * Beggars will stand on street corners throughout the Metropolis, playing the challenging and thrilling game of soliciting donations from AI bots and taking their verbal abuse. Beggars are also responsible for the important task of city trash removal.  At the end of each day, all donations earned will be confiscated and distributed among the Ninjas.


 * Mine Workers will plunge deep underground into dark, poorly lit caves. Dodging the dangers of cave-ins and toxic fumes at every turn, you will happily clink away at large chunks of rock day in and day out.  Any valuables you find will go toward making more powerful armor and weapons for Ninjas.
