I think the best way to start with one factor is just that: start that way, but allow for divergence, mainly through multi-classing. So you could have the PCs all start as street ruffians (1st level rogues) and then find opportunities to diversify their skills, within a limited number of options. Maybe one has latent magical abilities and takes on a level or three of sorcerer. Etc.Or you could have the party start with only non-magical classes, because magic is outlawed by something akin to the Magisterium of Philip Pullman, and then force them to take a level in sorcerer or druid or wizard as their latent magical abilities manifest and they have to navigate hiding it from the authorities.</blockquote>
