Mm - my problem with the jobs on a personal level is that I feel it becomes easy to fall into the trap of being defined by that job. Being the semi-legendary figures that they are, I think that's to be expected. So.. Aerghwab not belonging to any of those was a conscious choice on my part. He's a former pirate, is passable with a sword or harpoon, a far better hand with an axe, and can more than hold his own in a fistfight. Depending on how the story goes, one of these may end up becoming strengthened but, at least to me, these types of things are something to grow into and be discovered by the character organically via roleplaying. But that's just me, I like to play out growth. Somethin' about that "monomyth" frame of storytelling. 
As far as the sidebar conversation, FFXIV is incredibly light on published lore, unlike a long-standing property like Warcraft which has a large quantity of lore built up over the last 20 years. Less so, I would argue, in terms of quality or even originality - but I digress. A lot of our RP here, I think, hinges solely on player interpretation of what we're given. There's plenty of inconsistency, not only comparing 1.0 to A Realm Reborn, but even lore posts or website information versus what's presented in story quests. It seems to me that we'd be better served meeting somewhere in the middle rather than arguing over who's right or wrong.
