I'm glad you know grammar and are willing to capitalize, but you need to learn how to space your information, or else it looks like a big blob of text. I've formatted it to be a bit better.
So by race, do you mean class? Can I choose my faction later? I want to know each side a bit more before deciding. I don't pick my relative/mentor, right?

Thanks for fixing that. Yes, by race I meant class. Sorry for that confusion. You can choose your faction later but you will have people trying to recruit you to either the Government, or the Rebels. The Mercernaries don't really care. You actually do pick your relative so that way it is more to the player, but if you want me to pick your relative/mentor then just tell me.

You are in an apartment in the slums with your relative. Until you choose a faction this will be your base. What are you going to do next?

I'm glad to be appreciated, you're welcome (although I made a noticeable error...when will there be edit? XD). And yes, I want you to name my relative.

"So, what do you think of the war, [insert name of relative]?"

"Well, it all started about 20 years ago. The government had switch hands and the new mayor came in, only the new mayor decided to make some changes. Felix, the mayor, thought that he could be the last mayor. So he made the Felixation Acts, creating a dictatorship. The Police became stronger, and the people were taxed more and more. That is when the Rebellion was made. The people rose against the police, but after Felix put down every riot the rebels became quiet, for the time. Two years later you were born, and your parents didn't want you to grow up in this place. So, they decided to escape. Normally you can't leave unless you have the right spell, but it was an eclipse, and the way out always thins when that happens. Your parents ran to the nearest city, knowing they were followed. They dropped you off at the nearest orphanage with that journal. They ran in another direction, and were killed when they refused to return. After this the rebellions began again. The rebels became organized, and more secretive. For the past 18 years they have hindered the government. Now the battle is at a stalemate, but it can take one thing to change it for either side." Uncle J. Says.

Ouch, the logic of time swirled... better not start paradox. No wait, it's the present time. When I read lost colony I thought it was in the past.

you can pick it now or later. It is up to the player.

Until you choose a faction your cousin's house will be your base. What will you do first?

"Things are...rough I guess you could say. We are on the verge of civil war. The "Mayor" wants his way having complete control. The rebels want freedom for the people. As long as I stay safe I don't pay much attention."
