One day, across the galaxy, several people are abducted from their systems and brought to a hostile world full of savage beasts and rebellious androids. There they are secretly filmed, for a popular pay per view reality show: Crucible. Why pay per view? Because who'd broadcast such violent struggles for free? Survival is your goal...and you must put aside your differences and band together in order to do it. Survivors are given basic weapons suited to their profession. More advanced weaponry can be found on the hostile androids that roam the place. Any race is acceptable, after all, people are stolen from across the galaxy...
Weak Magic for swordsmen and gunslingers is acceptable.
If you want powerful spells, your character must specialize in magic.
