The full title: A Different Choose Your Own Adventure Story by Your Friendly Neighborhood Arachnid(Also Known As "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Overly Long Title")

All you get to know about the setting at this point is that it's dark. And I mean literally. Also, there are multiple sentient species, most of which are in general quite ignorant of each other.

Vote 1.1: Species:
A: humanoid
a)human: Just like humans, except adapted to the dark.
b)fae: Human-like, but about half the size and with bat-wings as well as natural magics.
c)dwarf: They're dorfy.

B: non-humanoid
a)spider: Like normal spiders, except sentient and social. Specify the approximate size you want(ranging from about handsized to human sized)
b)spirit: You are a spirit, either born naturally or created magically, that has somehow gained sentience.
c)daemon: Like spirit, except instead of gaining energy naturally, you need to feed on a specific emotion to thrive.

1.2: Profession

A: farmer/hunter: Any society needs those who produce food, so that others may thrive
What kind of farmer:
a) vegetable: You produce the kind of vegetation your society needs. Also covers fungi.
b) herder: You produce meat products from farm animals, whatever they may be
c) hunter: You hunt small game near the civilization, either using traps or some weaponry.

B: Soldier: You defend yourself and others, or perhaps you're just a merciless killer working for a cause.
a) militia/watchman: you work for the militia of your town/village. Boring job, most of the time, but you'll likely get killed when things stop being boring.
b) guard: You're a hired guard, either protecting caravans or people who can afford to hire you to protect them.
c) monster-hunter: The caves further from civilization are full of dangerous monsters that can easily kill a man, but whose meat or other parts are often prized delicacies or can be made into luxury items.
d)paladin: You are a member of a religious order, aiming to make the world a safer place(for your own species, anyway). You do your job out of genuine conviction that you're doing the right thing(though the respect, prestige and luxuries offered to those of higher positions don't hurt, either)

C: craftsman: Farmers may bring the food on the tables, but you're the one who builds the said tables as well as the tools used by farmers. Too many options to distill into a short list as well as too dependent on species, suggest your own.

D: mage/scholar: You are one of those who had the drive and the talent to master the arts of magic. Specify preferred school(you can be imaginative) as well as whether you lean towards spells or spirits.
a)scholar: You seek knowledge, either of history, of philosophy, of the laws of the nature, of the laws of magic or of some other subject. Specify the subject.
b)general magician: You do whatever requires magic in the general society, ranging from entertainment to repairs to enchanting to seeking ore.
c)priest: You tend to the spiritual needs of the people. You're likely to also do healing amongst your other duties.
d)healer: You're a dedicated healer, who can perform almost miraculous feats on human body, restoring life to those at the gates of death.
e)battlemage: For you, magic is the most powerful weapon. Refer to 1.2 B

1.3: gender/sex:
I will only take votes for this via PM.

1.4: other
Suggestions, critique, praise?

1ac. I fukken loev Dorfs. I am also intrigued by Batelves, who seem like a likely candidate for characterhood.

2da. With a title like "Are You Afraid of the Dark" references must be made. We are specialists in ghost stories, ghost lore, and I guess exorcisms I guess maybe.
