New RPG system (in progress) needs class help!

[creativeassault]

Hello, I represent a new up and coming (hopefully) pen and paper role playing based company, creative assault original media.

For our first project, we are experimenting with a social/political based contacts / favors take over the city type pen and paper role playing system

its D10 based, and the party is a group of anarchists/terrorists/revolutionaries (depending on who you are asking, I guess)

the class system comes in three parts, first you pick a political camp or template, then a class archtype (combat, medical, engineering, skilled, or speech) and then there are a handful of classes to pick for each archtype.


the political 'camps' are

Capitalist
Corporationalist
Communist
Fascist
Socialist
Nihilist
and Survivalist.


so, for example, a capitalist combat based character would be a mercenary, a hitman, or a bounty hunter, where a nihilist would more likely be a psychopath, or an arsonist.

The templates are very exaggerated and characterized, to make viable for gameplay

I am having trouble coming up with different kinds of classes, mostly because I am finding difficulties attributing 'good' qualities to things like nihilism and fascism.

If anybody has any ideas for more classes I would be very excited to hear them. Thanks in advance.

Sorry this is coming 2 years late, but here are some aids for you:

Definition of Nihilism:Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.

Definition of Moral Nihilism: Moral nihilism (also known as ethical nihilism) is the meta-ethical view that nothingis intrinsically moral or immoral. For example, a moral nihilist would say that killing someone, for whatever reason, is neither inherently right nor inherently wrong.


As for fascism, they tend to surround themselves with people who are "like them." I am not sure how this would translate into a game.
