Well, you can submit a backstory and I was going to let you choose ur roles.... but I didn't realize the game just promotes them into whatever class it sees fit, so that diminishes the "interactive" portion
There is still some choice to be had during promotions from here on out and I'll let people select which branch of the skill tree they want to pursue.
So for instance,
@Irishman can choose between these skills for his next promotion (or he can just tell me to STFU and pick for him)
