There are ten '''character classes''' in Shartak, and for each character the player must choose one when they begin playing. Each class is capable of having a similar game experience, but there are some differences in mechanics and abilities which lead to unique playing styles.
+
They are ten character classes in total, five classes for the natives, and five classes for the outsiders.  Natives can choose to be a warrior, scout, shaman, villager or cannibal.  Outsiders can choose to be a soldier, explorer, scientist, settler, or pirate. Each class has it's own advantages and disadvantages and their own special skills.
  
−
The classes have different [[HP|hit points (HP)]] limits, [[Items|starting inventories]], and [[Skills|skill]] opportunities. Characters in all classes begin the game with 175 [[AP|action points (AP)]] and regenerate one action point every 20 minutes. Scouts and explorers regenerate AP until they have 80, while 75 is the AP regeneration limit for all other characters.

Natives are the original inhabitants of Shartak. They dwell in villages deep in the jungle: [[Dalpok]], [[Raktam]], and [[Wiksik]]. A group of cannibals also inhabits the shunned village of [[Rakmogak]]. All natives can understand one another and use items such as [[blowpipe]]s and [[healing herbs]] by default.

Character Class Overview

They are ten character classes in total, five classes for the natives, and five classes for the outsiders. Natives can choose to be a warrior, scout, shaman, villager or cannibal. Outsiders can choose to be a soldier, explorer, scientist, settler, or pirate. Each class has it's own advantages and disadvantages and their own special skills.

Native Classes

Details on Native Classes can be found following these links.


Outsider Classes

Details on Outsider Classes can be found following these links.

Other important details

Village Choice

Almost as important as choosing what type of class you are going to be is what town you want to start from.

The Native Warrior, Scout, Villager, and Shaman can start from one of three villages, Dalpok, Raktam, or Wiksik. If you choose to be a cannibal, you must start in the village of Rakmogak.

The Outsider Soldier, Explorer, Settler or Scientist can start from one of three towns, Derby, Durham, or York. If you choose to be a pirate, you must start at the shipwreck.

Character Guide

Character Guides are also good on choosing how to level up your character, and which type of character you wish to play.

Along with these, some clans have their own character guides to help new players. Those will be listed within the Character Guide section.

Clans

Another aspect of character creation is clans. You can choose to belong to a clan straightaway, and build your character to suit that clans needs. The other option is be clanless for awhile, then choose later one based on RP reasons, or simply wishing to be part of a clan. You can drop a clan at anytime, and join one as well. More detail can be found on the clan wiki page.
