Here are some ideas of classes:

Knight:He starts with steel armor,shield and sword,with 2 healing potions.He doesn't have any spells at the start and ranged weapons.He has good armour,block and one-handed but weak magic and light armor.

Alik'r Warrior:A Redguard only-class,he starts with the same equipment alik'r warriors have in Skyrim.They don't have ranged weapons or spells.He starts with stronger one-handed. Where did you get the idea that there would be fixed classes? I suggested small backstory options that functioned vaguely like classes in the original post, but that would be more like "you have warrior training, so you don't start with a spell, have slightly different dialogue from the NPCs at the beginning, have a few minor skill bonuses, like maybe 2 perks from any Warrior type skill tree and a one or two rank bonus to warrior skills, and maybe have the option to request a melee weapon if somebody offers to get you a weapon." Or, "you have mage training, so you can pick one extra spell to start with, have a minor rank bonus to all mage skills or a medium rank bonus to one or two magic skills of your choice, you get slightly different dialogue and the option to mention that you don't need a weapon, and maybe increased magicka by like 5 points."

That staff system sounds rather like too great a departure from previous games. However, perhaps there could be a Lesser Staff of Project [Insert Spell Here], where getting one of these for a spell means you can cast it more effectively with the use of the staff. Both one- and two-handed staves could exist; one-handed called staffs, two-handed called staves.
