Vaughn has been, and always will be, a bit of a rogue. This is a ten-year-old character, and it's been a lot of fun figuring out the things this character can do from his origin as an elf from Alfheim (the light elves that have glowing auras, bastard children of Baldr), to slave-turned-pirate captain, to his current incarnation of a combination of both pasts reworked to fit in with FFXIV lore.
That said, RPing multiclass jobs isn't much of a stretch. He has his talents and his weaknesses. Originally, he was a master thrower. Anything ranged, he is a (near)perfect shot. Wildwoods having superior eyesight was only a bonus. But he can use blades with proficiency, as long as he can hold it in one hand. Bastard swords and larger he doesn't touch as they are longer than his arm, which to him seems unnecessary. And while in game he is level 50 in both WHM and BLM, he technically is a very crappy mage. Because of a story point, which allowed him to be able to manipulate aether to begin with, he has all the power of a developed mage but the inability to control it. Some of the most interesting RP I've had was when his magic goes haywire ("Suddenly wind!").
He got better! Though, not much...
He also doesn't see "Jobs" as being a Bard, or White Mage, or anything like that. A job is what you do that makes you money, and class is your status in society. When in an RP and asked about his Job, he replies with "Secretary of a safe house." When he gets funny looks and asked about his class, he's a "former companion," a status that (to him) is below beggar. And, as such these points, he acts like it. While OOCly he's dabbling in every class/job, ICly he's just a jittery, mentally unstable mess of a commoner.
