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.
