The Novice is the starting point for all Human characters in Ragnarok Landverse. When you create a new character, you may choose from different Hairstyles and Hair colors. Novices do not incur any EXP penalty upon death, and regain 50% HP when respawning. Once Job Level 10, Novices  can change into one of the following First Classes:

* [Swordman](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/swordman)
* [Magician](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/magician)
* [Archer](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/archer)
* [Merchant](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/merchant)
* [Thief](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/thief)
* [Acolyte](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/acolyte)

Alternatively, they can choose to become one of the Expanded Classes:
