Each Class have different Stat Progressions. Few races give Progression Bonus in one or two stats.
Base Stats are based on Race + Class Bonus.
Each Character also have 4x10% Progression to place in any of the Stats. Max is +20% Progression.
RACES:
1. Humans:
The inventors, the soldiers, the builders. Also, the destroyers - it's because of Humanity War that Terra is uninhabitable place and the remainder of the Humans (and other races) have to live in Star Cities.
Humans are stout, bright people, with variety of skin, hair and eye colour. They are good at every job but rarely excel in any. Their life expectancy is around 100 years.

2. Numans:
Product of late Terran genetical engineering, a new, upgraded version of Humans - these are Numans, excellent soldiers, brilliant scientists and wise governors. Unfortunately, due to artificial origins, Numans are disconnected from the Ether Space and thus cannot cast any Magic. This problem persists even in their descendants.
Numans, until only recently, weren't considered fully human and had limited rights and priviledges. That have changed thirty years ago, but some Humans still view Numans as 'freaks' and 'mutants'.
Numans' tweaked DNA allows them for longer lifespan; there are already Numans who have more than 150 years. Interesing fact is that children born from Human-Numan union will always be genetically Numan themselves.

3. Myrkh
An ancient race of forest-dwellers who once shunned technology. However, during the War, some Myrkh allied themselves with Guria Empire, built few ships and explored space. Those Myrkh were survivors of Humanity War and thus, descendants of those are now living in Star Cities.
Unfortunately, the Human Council have yet to give Myrkh full rights and priviledges - because of that, Myrkh are often servants (if not slaves) to Humans, or are used as cheap labour. Often, Myrkh live in large ghettos, often in poorer districts.
Myrkh have 30% shorter lifespan than humans, albeit they give birth to more offspring than Humans, allowing for stable population.

4. Mu
In the year 302 of Space Era, a large starship arrived in Solar System and by next month, it crash-landed on the Moon. It's passengers were Mu, tall, thin, pale humanoids with dark indigo hair and no earlobes. They established peaceful relations with Humans. After the crash-landing, they migrated to Space Cities, their intellect and knowledge boosting the Humans' technology and exposing them to Crystal Magic.
According to Mu themselves, they were once powerful beings living on a planet in distant galaxy, but an entity of 'dark matter' threatened the world, so on board of several ships, they began millenia-long treks across the cosmos. By chance, one of those ships arrived on Sol.
Mu are weak soldiers but powerful mind beings. They can detect each other from range of half a kilometer, they're also telepathic - they can send messages directly into Human and Myrkh minds, albeit Numans cannot receive them at all, indicating a link between Ether Space and telepathical abilities.
Mu rarely eat, sleep and drink, and they are able to absorb energy directly from sunlight, albeit this cannot replace normal nutrition. Their life expectancy is a bit longer than Human, and Mu females always give birth to twins - a boy, and a girl.

~~FIRST CLASSES~~
CLASS NAME: Swordsman
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
30% 30% 0% 35% 40% 30% 5%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 ACC, STR, SPD
Primary Stat: ACC
Weapon Ranks:
Blades: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Ceramic Knife
Fluff:
Once a respected caste, today Swordsmen can rarely find employment anywhere else than as mercenaries or bodyguards. Even in the Star Armies, Swordsmen are a rare sight.
They focus on fast strikes and high evasion, and combined with laser blades or cutthroat razor, they can be competent fighters.

CLASS NAME: Hacker
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
30% 20% 0% 40% 40% 25% 10%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 ACC, +2 SPD
Primary Stat: SPD
Weapon Ranks:
Pistols: D (+1)
Starting Weapon: Finchester K20
Special:
Can use Hacking Tool
Fluff:
In the modern times, a simple pickpocketer won't do; a skilled Hacker must know how to bypass doors and forcefields, how to open locked chests, and how to break into computer terminals and control units.
Hackers rarely enter combat, but when cornered, they use pistols for self-defence.
---
CLASS NAME: Armorman
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
40% 40% 0% 20% 20% 45% 5%
Stat bonus on creation:
+2 STR, +1 DEF
Primary Stat: DEF
Weapon Ranks:
Blades: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Ceramic Knife
Special:
Heavy Unit: -1 MOV
Fluff:
The basic unit in Star Armies, the Armormen sacrifice mobility for sheer strength and thick armor. They're quite skilled in blades, and a successful hit is often lethal to their enemies.
---
CLASS NAME: Rifleman
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
30% 25% 0% 45% 25% 30% 10%
Stat bonus on creation:
+2 ACC, +1 STR
Primary Stat: ACC
Weapon Ranks:
Pistols: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Finchester K20
Fluff:
Another standard unit in Star Armies, the Riflemen often shoot at enemies from behind Armormen. Even an untrained Rifleman is quite accurate and with physical training, heavier guns aren't a problem.
They also have decent health and defense, just in case they have to fight in close combat.
---
CLASS NAME: Cannoneer
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
35% 45% 0% 40% 15% 30% 5%
Stat bonus on creation:
+2 STR, +1 ACC
Primary Stat: STR
Weapon Ranks:
Cannons: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Titanium Cannon
Special:
Heavy Unit: -1 MOV
Fluff:
Cannoneers are providers of long-range fire support. Their cannons can be deadly, if not a bit unwieldy due to their weight. Some of the cannons have special effects, and Cannoneers are the only ones who can operate Howitzers.
Cannoneers have to excel in strength and accuracy, and for that they sacrifice speed. If caught off-guard, a Cannoneer can often be easily double-attacked.
---
CLASS NAME: Drake Rider
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
35% 35% 0% 30% 25% 30% 15%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 STR, ACC, DEF
Primary Stat: STR
Weapon Ranks:
Blades: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Ceramic Knife
Special:
Mount: Drake (+1 MOV, +16 STR for carrying units)
Fluff:
Drake Riders are owners of one of the two reptilean breeds, the Drakes. These mounted soldiers are used as shock troops, blazing into enemy formation to curbstomp the resistance and get out after absorbing few hits.
---
CLASS NAME: Wyrm Rider
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
30% 30% 0% 30% 35% 25% 20%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 HP, ACC, SPD
Primary Stat: SPD
Weapon Ranks:
Pistols: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Finchester K20
Special:
Mount: Wyrm (+2 MOV, +12 STR for carrying units)
Fluff:
Wyrm Riders are rarely seen because their mounts aren't as durable and strong as Drakes. However, they make for good couriers and thanks to training in pistols, they can harass the enemy with fast attacks and then retreat from front lines.
Rarely exceling in anything, Wyrm Riders have a decent resistance; that's because Wyrms' scales are more resistant to ether energy.
---
CLASS NAME: Crystal Mage
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
25% 5% 35% 15% 30% 15% 45%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 MND, SPD, RES
Primary Stat: RES
Weapon Ranks:
Crystal Magic: C
Starting Weapon: Live
Fluff:
Healers and unit support, the Crystal Mages are relatively new in the Star Cities; that's because only recently the three Terran races were exposed to Crystal Magic by Mu.
As they're non-combatants, Crystal Mages keep decent health and speed just in case they get attacked.
---
CLASS NAME: Sol Adept
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
20% 15% 35% 25% 25% 10% 40%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 MND, ACC, RES
Primary Stat: ACC
Weapon ranks:
Solar Magic: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Bolt
Fluff:
Ancient caste of spellcasters that is drawing the power from Ether and Sun. Their tomes are lightweight and they Sol Adepts are fast, accurate units, sometimes being called magical 'snipers'.
---
CLASS NAME: Dark Matter Mage
Stat Progressions:
HP STR MND ACC SPD DEF RES
20% 20% 35% 25% 15% 10% 35%
Stat bonus on creation:
+1 STR, MND, ACC
Primary Stat: MND
Weapon ranks:
Dark Matter Magic: C (+2)
Starting Weapon: Flux
Fluff:
Another caste of magicians hailing from old Terra, the Dark Matter Mages use the dark essence of the Ether, which is as powerful as it is unstable.
Dark Matter Mages weild heavy tomes and to counter the resulting disadvantages, they often have high strength.
