Glad the system has piqued your interest Garuru!
Yeah, technical stuff is reserved mainly for professions, though Guardians get a good bit of combat related stuff.
As for renaming Martial to Normal, I don't think that quite fits. Martial kind of implies that the character has spent a long time developing their combat skills or are just naturally good at hitting things. If a character would be "normal", then they wouldn't be martial.
Which brings up a point. Player characters all have three parts to their identity because they are usually pretty special. NPCs and some simpler enemies might have nothing more than a race or a race and a profession. A "normal" person just wouldn't have an aptitude. If a GM wants to run a game where the players are "normal", they can just leave out Aptitudes.
For example, Batman would be a Humanoid Criminal Martial character (probably with some Craftsman and Scholar thrown in via feat shennanigans. Possibly even a smidge of Entertainer or Guardian. Batman knows everything, but I digress). A regular blacksmith would probably just be Humanoid Craftsman. A rat would just be Bestial.
