questions from a noob to PS:T

So, I've noticed something immediately different about PS:T as opposed to the BG series or Icewind Dale was the character creation. so I have some questions about that. 1. do you always start as a fighter? 2: is there any form of alignment? 3. how exactly do you change class and alignment, and 4: what classes are avalible? Please no plot spoilers i'm just wanting general answers here
