here's the story if you don't know what geneforge is
Geneforge 3 is a fantasy role-playing game with science fiction elements. It is, of course, the third game in the Geneforge series, and it tells the next chapter in this epic tale. However, I have been very careful to make sure that experience with the previous games is completely unnecessary to enjoy Geneforge 3.
The Geneforge saga tells the story of the Shapers. They are a secret sect of powerful magicians, with the ability to create and design life from scratch and mold it to suit their purposes. They can create hordes of deadly, totally obedient servants, and send them to do their dirty work.
the Shaping mechanic makes Geneforge stand out a lot. You can create your own monsters, give them the skills you want, and command them. Creations get stronger the longer you have them
They are incredibly powerful and influential, and pretty much control their world. Regular people and creations both depend on and resent the Shapers. Some hate them enough to rebel, which is the overall storyline of the series. As Geneforge 3 begins, the rebellion has finally broken out.
ok that's enough depending on what sect you choose, then you start somewhere
Sects Shapers: the ones who believe their powers should be kept secret, they feel no emotion for the life they create, and are very strict
Rebels: for various reasons they believe people should know at least some, they have feelings for the creations, and are more lax
Trakovites: they believe the power shouldn't exist and should be sealed away (unplayable)
classes: Shaper: Agent: stealthy and quick, you usually work alone or in small groups best at magic weak in shaping
Shaper: you create the life, though you are physically frail you can make many creations at once best at shaping weak at melee
Guardian: you are the guards and tanks you are best at melee but weak at magic
rebel classes:
Servile: you escaped their rule and fight for the rebel cause best at melee, weak at shaping
swordsman: the rebel equivalent of guardian
life crafter: equivalent of shaper
Operative: equivalent to agent
Shock trooper: quick and deadly you are best at shaping, but weak at magic

you head to the shaping center, with it's many platforms and pools, there are a few people shaping creations, but no instructors as it's early
