Swordsman
Ah, the gentleman's blade. A weapon of versatility. It can stab, it can slice, and it can stun when you hit them in the face with the pommel. There isn't any situation a good sword can't get you out of, not a one.

Vanguard
Some say the best defense is a good offense; they obviously had never heard of a shield. You prefer a 'sword and board' any day of the week.

Brawler
There's a tense silence as impending violence crackles between two men. You can feel the tension in the air. Most men would be nervous, scared even. You… you're praying that he's going to pull a weapon. Start something… anything. You'll finish it.

Swashbuckler
You're somewhat of a show-off at times, especially when wielding a blade. All that prancing about isn't without it's merits, however; you make for a difficult target to hit, even if you look a bit foolish with your twists and tumbles. So long as you forgo the armor…

Farmer
The sun, the dirt, the wind in your hair, and above all else the ability to nurture life - these are the reasons why you chose a life in the field. Without you, life in the city would be impossible. You are the backbone of society, even if they don't appreciate it.

Alchemist
Men have many different problems, most of which can be solved alchemically. Some may have accused you of wizardry, but that's just foolishness. This is science. With your knowledge you can brew life, and you can brew death - both of which just happen to fit inside a convenient little bottle.

Blacksmith
The heat of the forge, the rhythm of iron slamming against iron, the smell of metal in the air - all of it sets you alight. You hold the power of creation in your calloused hands. With this power you reshape earth and ore to fit the design you choose for it.

Carpenter
You are a shaper, a remaker. Iron is rare, and hard to deal with - but wood, now that's everywhere. The work you do has impacted everyone's life in some way. They take for granted the dresser as they open it, they take for granted the chest they store their food in, they take for granted so much of what you do. But without artisans like you, society couldn't exist.

Engineer
The world around you follows a strict set of rules that most people aren't aware of. Not you. You know the laws of physics, you know what is possible and what isn't. You can make things people haven't even dreamed of. You are the future. Magic will never defeat science, not while you have anything to say about it.

Tailor
A man uncovered is a pitiful creature, susceptible to all manner of injury and exposure. You craft the draperies which adorn warriors and citizens throughout the empire, giving comfort and protection against a harsh world. The tailor's craft is as much art as it is practical application, much of the world's beauty comes from your fingertips.

Diabolist
The arts of Diabolism are often reserved for the psychopathic and masochistic, requiring a mindset far removed from that of the average man. You have come to taste the power of magic, specifically that of Diabolism, and there is little that can keep you from this path of dark enlightenment.

Divinator
Magic… it's the power of creation, and it's often tragically misused. But you see that there is a great potential for good in this power.

Pagan
You scoff at the idea that magic is newly reborn. No, magic has always been present in the world of Eden. It's in the air we breathe. It's in the earth beneath our feet. It's in the water we drink. If the masses had wanted to find proof of Magic prior to the Awakening, all they had to do was look upon the world around them. Fools.
