Don't even worry about the race/alignment thing. What I'm mostly looking for is the class.
Y'see, we're going into the world as ourselves. Just take yourself going to class, and suddenly, you're walking through the market square of Neverwinter. And you can't get back to the real world.
From there, you have to take what you know, adapt, and the world itself begins to awaken within you powers that fit the setting. Getting a Sorcerer, for example, gives you access to, well, magic. We'll RP how you start or figure out casting...
