If it helps, I plan on playing a dude. Was thinking either a prince (though we seem to have a lot of royalty already, so not sure if we've enough kingdoms for that), or a commoner/street rat who got in either through trickery, coin or relations. Or just a noble of some sort.

For classes, prince would probably be cavalier or wyvern rider, commoner would be a thief, and the noble could be anything. I haven't settled on any one idea yet, though.
