Armageddon is set up -exactly- as you describe. However, it is an RPI - with the accent on "intensive." It's also permanent death, and you can't play a mage with your first character. It isn't an option. Magickers are considered "karma" skillsets and you have to earn the karma to play them through your roleplay. The staff watches the game, and award karma to people who have shown they can handle the responsibility of more intricate roles. The "classes" are -not- balanced, this is intentional, and for that reason, only people who have shown responsibility can play those roles.
If you don't mind getting your feet wet with some more "mundane" skillsets, and learning the ins and outs of the game, the politics, etc. etc. - with your first few characters, I would highly recommend Armageddon.
