Current Classes:
Obviously everyone cannot be Ethan or another hero of this game, however you can be your own hero and take your own path through Earthia. Every character needs a starting point though, and this is where to begin your journey. If you want to go anywhere in DarkStorm you will need a class, and you can choose any from the following. Class abilities are in the "Spells and Abilities" section for your reference.
Seconary classes are not listed here for they do not affect one's stats. Please check the ability page for information on secondary classes.
