We could always play the pretenders before they were up to the level of being considered a pretender. When they first tried to convince their own people that they were more than mortal.
But to answer the question I like what I tend to like in most RPG games.
Rangers, Druids, Paladins. Altho I do also have a fondness for Pans. Also:
any mounted knight
Assassin
Antlered Shaman
Wolf Herder
Maverni Druid
Abysia Demonbred
Ri (Tir na n'Og, Tuatha King leader unit)
Triton King of Oceania
By the way, you might ask the devs for the stats to include Bogus and his crew (their original DnD group)
Independant: Grey lord. I mean, seriously, etheral knights just rock.
Not-capital-only: Skopets. Kind of fanatic character looks fun to roleplay.
Capital-only: Demonbred. I think they are nice.
The machakan spider assasin
The ape hero that atracts apes
That skillful mage of tienchi that heals wounds
Ulm smith or the svartalf
the master of the games
