You will play one of what has come to be called Storm Knights. Stormers are people who can brave the reality storms. Storm Knights are stormers who have taken it upon themselves to stop the High Lords' conquest.
It may seem odd that stormers from other realities would fight against agents of their home cosm. It should be made clear that many stormers end up in the service of the High Lords, or at least don't become Storm Knights. Also, the High Lords are often seen as dangerous beings or tyrants in their own cosms and targets of rebellious groups. Storm Knight are those stormers who have decided to thwart the plans of the High Lords.
This doesn't mean all Storm Knights are pure of heart and deed. Far from it, many Storm Knights operate from selfish desires, such as revenge, money, personal glory, or hatred of other High Lords. Some are swept into action, by either conscription with a resistance group or for simple survival. Some secretly serve their High Lord, striking at their enemies to give their master an edge. Some were transformed in the invasion, native to Core Earth, and want to save their home. Some have joined the cause simply because they can. There are many reasons why a stormer becomes a Storm Knight, but they all have one thing in common; they aren't bystanders of the Possibility Wars.
The main book and the supplements have many character templates. You may choose one of these for your character. But these are not character classes, just guidelines. And I certainly encourage you to develop your own background, instead of using the one that comes with the template. Click on the template link to see some of the many options; these are mainly to give you an idea of the character types from the various cosms.
