[@Lugia] Will do. Character's done, so feel free to look at it whenever! When will my character be inserted into the story IC? Also I made this character on the assumption I'm starting at level 1, but do I start higher?

You could insert yourself into the story right now... but it might be better if you started at level two with this equipment...
[hider=Starting Equipment]
Silk Robes: Basic, but comfy robes meant for mages... they don't provide much in the way of defense, but they also don't make it any harder to cast magic. DEF: +1, MDEF: +2

Steel Staff: A basic steel rod that was probably not actually meant to be a staff... steel RODS are mass produced for their reliability, and ease of gathering materials, but steel STAVES are a bit harder to come by. Damage: 1d6 + STRmod

As for how to level up, well, in your case, you'll be given a random spell (I rolled a 3 for 'Thunder' magic), and you'll gain stats as such...
roll a d3 (or a d6 and divide the result by two, rounding up) for each individual stat, add half of your class' stat bonus to each (again, rounding up.), and calculate your new MP and HP after that. I may want to put the actual per level additive in each class... I'll go edit it in.

EDIT: Done. These per level stat gains are in [ ].
