As far as mortals go, you've basically got three categories:
Primes are sods from the prime material plane.  We give may give you lot a hard time for being clueless, but most of us know it isn't really your fault. Out there, your average berk don’t concern himself with the structure of the multiverse, whereas out here you can’t ignore it.  A street urchin from Sigil knows about the Great Wheel, whereas a farmer from Krynn knows about turnips and dragons. And probably what dragons like turnips the best. So it’s unfair to treat you as completely ignorant.  

Petitioners are dead berks.  Deaders. Simple as that. Once lived, now dead- not to be confused with the undead. They aren't ghostly or zombiefied. They’ve gone on to serve their gods, or fulfill any death contracts they entered. They look just like regular folk, although many have a divine mark on them somewhere. Usually you'll find petitioners in the realms of their respective gods, awaiting whatever fate they were promised with very little memory of their previous life. But they live and work and serve as agents of their gods in Sigil, too.   

Planars are all the rest of us that aren't primes or petitioners.

 

so if you're a 'deader' can you offend the god you were tied to while being a deader and get 'removed'?  that would be an interesting take, somewhat similar to a paladin trying to regain his paladinhood, you're trying to regain your gods favor because what happens to an unattached deader?

I dunno.  Scholars have said that petitioners are living their promised afterlife experiences.  That sounds kind of nice to me in places like Bytopia, the Twin Paradises.  Not as nice in places like the Hells, where night hags are known to shape petitioners into wormlike larva and sell them to devils that have a use for tormented souls. I bet some of those poor sods try to give 'em the laugh and get gone.  Petitioners don't tend to remember their former lives.   Some religions promise reincarnation or becoming one with their gods.  Does that happen? 

Some people don't follow religions at all.  There's a faction in Sigil that call themselves the Athar- they don't believe the gods are anything holy or to be worshipped.  What really happens to them after they get put in the Dead Book?

  

this sounds kinda fun.  do you guys have any room?  what would I need to get to play, if that's what you guys are doing?

Yep.  If Tolkien can do 9 for a...half of...a book, I can do 7 I think.
