Just start with whatever you prefer,

Want a balanced character which focus on melee? take the warrior

Want a tough character? take the knight,

Want a dual wielding character? the swordsman,

Want an archer? go with the bandit,

Want to use miracles or simply feel safer with a healing spell at the start? take the cleric,

Want a mage? go with the sorcerer.

Want someone balanced with no particular strengths? take the explorer and you'll also get a bit more stuff to begin with

Want to build your character from nothing? just go with the depraved.
