OVERVIEW
A class represents the skills, training, profession, or specialized path an individual follows throughout their life.
Unlike species, which describe a character's biology and origin, classes describe what an individual has learned to become.
A person's species does not determine their class. Most classes are available to any species that meets the necessary physical, mental, or organizational requirements.
For example, a Human, Synth, Warframe, or Xylos could all become Netrunners, Combat Medics, or Blade Runners through sufficient training.

GAINING A CLASS
Most classes require years of education, apprenticeship, or field experience.
Some organizations actively recruit candidates.
Others require sponsorship, difficult entrance examinations, or survival through dangerous trials.
Certain rare classes also require compatibility with unique technologies or biological phenomena.

MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES
Many individuals combine knowledge from multiple fields during their careers.
A Combat Medic may later become a Bioengineer.
A Netrunner may receive military training as a Blade Runner.
A Nomad may specialize as a Vehicle Operator.
Such combinations reflect an individual's experience rather than replacing their original training.

CLASS SPECIALIZATION
Every class contains numerous specializations.
While two people may share the same class, their equipment, tactics, and expertise can differ dramatically depending on their profession and personal experience.

CLASS AND IDENTITY
A class reflects training—not destiny.
Individuals frequently change careers throughout their lives, retire from dangerous occupations, or pursue entirely different paths as circumstances change.
What someone becomes is determined by their choices, opportunities, and experience rather than the species into which they were born.
