When creating a character, you can enter a name, choose the character's gender, select a general age, pick an origin, and customize your character's appearance. Name, gender, age, and appearance are cosmetic only and have no gameplay effects; your character's origin, however, does affect the game. Specifically, it determines your character's starting stats.

Don't worry too much when choosing your origin. Just think about two points: the stat you want to focus on and the stat that you don't want to increase. All of them start with the same equipment, and 8 out of the 9 origins start at level ten. The Waste of Skin starts at level 4, but it has exactly 6 less stat points than the others; in the long run, they can all reach the same maximum level.

Cruel Fate	10	12	10	9	5	14	500	10	60
Waste of Skin	10	9	10	9	7	9	10	4	54

When you're picking a beginning class, it is not a shackle, or anything that keeps you tied to that play style. It merely gives you starting stats for certain characters. When you pick your class, make sure you have time to learn your characters strengths and weaknesses.

Classes Comparison Chart

Table lists all the starting classes and the weapons that can be used by the classes right at base blood level. The four numbers listed below each origin are their starting Strength / Skill / Bloodtinge / Arcane levels. If a weapon isn't here, it's because no origin is applicable to its use. Weapons available to all origins are marked.
