Nocturne's human class system is a slightly-reworked take on normal Fire Emblem progression. You start by choosing a weapon, and then choosing one of the attached Basic classes - Swords gives you access to Myrmidon, Mercenary, and Guard. Once you reach 200 posts in that class, you can choose one of 3-4 promotion options based on which weapon type you want to unlock; a Sword user who wants Axes becomes a Hero. Elite classes are unique upgrades attached to each Advanced class, offering a more impressive name and additional level progression; Heroes will always upgrade to Champions. You still follow these rules when creating a Pre-Promoted character, and thus need to define what class path your character took.
Note that any Basic or Advanced class can spend 1000 gold to swap to another class of the same tier and will grow normally from there, but Elite classes cannot change class. Also note that weapon specialization classes (Swordmaster, Berserker, Halberdier, Sniper) receive a free basic (aka non-magic/heroic) weapon of their choice upon promoting to that class (Basic->Advanced) from their primary weapon type - anything from Iron to Killer. Only the class's default weapon type qualifies; Mastery does not allow you to pick other types of weapons.
Swords
Basic classes:
Myrmidon - light swordsmen who rely on mobility rather than armor
Mercenary - medium swordsmen who strike a balance between mobility and armor
Guard - heavy swordsmen who rely on their durable armor to protect them
Axes
Basic classes:
Barbarian - axe wielders who favor aggression and speed to carve through foes
Fighter - resilient warriors who can shrug off blows and return them tenfold
Lances
Basic classes:
Soldier - light-to-medium armored lance users who balance mobility and durability
Knight - heavily armored fighters who can hold fast against any foe
Bows
Basic classes:
Archer - lightly armored bow users who rely on range and mobility to stay alive
Lance
Pegasus Knights - lightly armored fliers who ride white pegasi into battle. Weak to bows and Wind magic.
Wyvern Knights - heavily armored fliers who ride vicious wyverns into battle. Weak to bows and Lightning magic.
Cavaliers - passably armored lancers who ride thunderous warhorses into battle. Weak to Fire magic.
Basic classes:
Mage - students of anima magic who attack foes with blasts of fire, wind, and lightning
Acolyte - (usually) pious magicians who pass judgement with blasts of consecrated light
Shaman - initiates of the dark arts who attack with living shadows and congealed darkness
Cleric - (usually) unassuming staff users who wield rare staves for defense and utility
Majin->Divine Majin - mages that turn their magic inwards to increase their physical abilities. Starts with one magic type of their choice, gain a second type at 300 posts. Cannot class change into any other class.
