YOUR FIRST CLASS!

A Primer For Parents and Children

Has your child started seeing stars? Or asked what the tiny blue, gold, white, or green specks in the air are? If so, that means that they’ve started System Integration and will soon be capable of earning their first [Primary Class]!

While most children will begin this process between the ages of two and four years old, every kid is different and it’s perfectly normal for that to happen a little later. However, if your child is over the age of nine and still not a class holder, consult your [Doctor], [Priest], or other System Professional about manual integration options.

In this pamphlet, we’ll cover some of the most common tactics and techniques for tailoring your child’s first class, and for answering some of their many questions about the new world that they find themselves in. Like what does it mean to attain a class? Or how does a class impact daily life?

Maybe you have questions too, like how to tailor your child’s first class or how to help them find resources they need to improve their leveling.

Ready to learn about classes? Great, let’s [Dive] in!

CLASSES ARE:

Fundamentally, classes are a way of fitting into the world. They’re a combination of the way that a person views themselves and is viewed by others. Over time, our classes can shape our attitudes, beliefs, and in some cases even things like our physical appearance! That might seem scary to think about at first, but it’s important to remember that classes are a lot like clothes in some ways. If you find yourself not liking a class, you can get rid of it and get a different one! No matter how old you get or how long you’ve had a class, YOU are always in control of who you are.

Classes are fun! As you level them up, they let you learn cool, exciting, and powerful skills that let you make all sorts of stuff, move in ways you might have never imagined, or do a whole list of other things that we don’t have space for here. Classes let you dive deeper into the mysteries and subjects that most interest you! Isn’t that cool?

Want to learn more? Great! But, before we go on, we need to cover one of the most important parts of the System: Leveling.

LEVELING:

Levels are a numeric representation of your class mastery. As you practice your skills and do the things that define your class, you’ll level up! Levels are like candy: having more is better! Usually, levels give you more stats too, which can help you in all sorts of ways.

How do you level? While each class is unique, there are a few general concepts to keep in mind that will keep you growing:

Mix it up: Doing new things, or doing old things in new ways, is a great way to level up fast!

Practice diligently: Be mindful of how your body moves and the things you think about when you use your skill. Trying to do more with your skills is a great way to expand your horizons and earn more levels.

Study primers, manuals, and other class-specific texts: Almost every class in the world has had other holders before you. Many of them wrote down their insights and experiences, providing a great source of knowledge that you can draw from in your own journey. Many of these texts are available in Libraries across the continent. Like always, if you have a question or need to find something specific, ask a [Librarian]! They're great sources of knowledge!

Get individual help: There are all sorts of [Coaches], [Therapists], [Teachers], [Mentors] and other professionals that can provide advice if you have class-specific questions. They can be expensive, but the specific help they offer can be well worth it for breaking through the plateaus that naturally form while leveling.

However, it’s important to stress that levels and stats aren’t the only thing worth worrying about. It’s entirely possible to live a happy and fulfilling life without attaining particularly high levels in any class, and attempts to maximize levels can lead to all sorts of negative emotions, especially since leveling speed slows at higher levels. Trying to push past 60 in any given class can be difficult, and is often limited to a few outstanding class holders.

When in doubt, just relax and chill out!

GOOD STARTER CLASSES FOR CHILDREN:

Helping your little one get their first class is a moment of joy for most parents. However, it can sometimes be daunting to pick a good one that will translate well to a happy childhood, so here’s a list of useful and practical classes for children that have stood the test of time.
