I'm really interested in this. The whole pseudo stat side to this RP would make it much more systematic, but I think it would fit for something like this. I say go all out. Big skill tree with maybe even the possibility to gain more points by doing some dope shit in the roleplay. Like borderline text game level shit, nah mean? I would suggest making a legit, separate CS topic in the other forum for reference. This shit would help make combat much more than just "Ok you wanna win this fight or should I?" 

But yeah, I'm digging the little lore you got going already. I really want to see what else you can add to the world, but so far, I can see myself making an Ascendant. Let me know if you need any help figuring stuff out, I would hate for this to be lost in the interest check phase.
