I think clerics are a good starter character. Being able to heal yourself is a bonus when you're starting off with no money. Fiesta doesn't let you get rich very easily.
There isn't much customization with character's faces and hairstyles, I'm afraid. They might be releasing CS items for that, who knows.
Try the Wiki we have here if you have any problems. We have guilds for quite a bit of stuff. I haven't actually used the tutorial thing they have in there before, so I would have no idea if it'll be good enough. I'm guessing it's probably good - better than nothing anyway.
Oh and keep your scroll material drops. (When you pick up an item, just roll your mouse over it, and if it says Scroll Material, then keep it! Especially the ones called Summoned Beast Leather (Low Quality).. they are rare-ish). Scrolls are something you need in game a lot later on, and you might go into Scroll Production (you can read about that in Wiki) so it'll be good to keep those drops. xD
Oh and you can't restat in game yet... so be careful of what you put in.
Deal or No Deal Champion!
