How to make custom "classes"?

So, I'm making an advanced party system and I cannot find out how to do this. All I need help with is making a custom "class" (as C/C++ would put it), then how to make something a part of that "class". Example:

["Class" Name]
-Name
-Age

("Object") is a ["Class"] and inherits all variables from it.

Then something like:
// ...
    var/I = new(//The object that inherits all the variables)
        I.name = "Test"
        I.age  = 5


If anyone understands what I'm trying to do here, please help me. Thanks!

They're called datums in DM. You create a custom datum the same you would to make a new mob.

mob/var

customClass/var

I figured I use datums, but wasn't sure. How would I create a new [object] of that datum?

I have:
PARTIES
    var
        name
        members=list()

mob/verb/Create_Party(mob/M in oview(usr))
    PARTIES/P //=new(?)
    P.name = input("Enter name:","Name")
    P.members += usr.name


I know it wont work, but how do I do that?

Exactly like creating a new atom...

new /atom

new /PARTIES

//IDK if you are talking about you being the party or adding someone to it. In this case the mob is you and you do not use usr.

now you just add the New() proc.
