I love the classless-ness. I think you should be able to simply choose a few things you did in your childhood, get some basic skills depending on what you chost, then be free to do what you want. There should be some little label saying the class you're closest to though, or something, else it would be kind of hard asking for hints. "Hey, I'm a grey elf... good at this and that, but not those skills, and I'm good at this aswell".
