Here's another thing:
Getting tied up in identities that are rooted in game mechanics.
Yes, the guilds have root in lore. Â The mystic ones more than the martial, to some degree, since only really the Gladiator's guild which feeds the bloodsands in Uldah has any kind of serious sway/
But really none of this requires you to assume that because someone has an axe they define themselves as a Marauder (Hammer is not a maurader, but carries a large axe because it's a practical tool for a giant person in an anime world. Â Can't cut a gate down with a sword, as he says.)
Hammer's a siege smith and retired soldier, with a side serving of extreme malevolence. Â No marauder involved in the char, at all. Â He can, and does, brawl, but if you tossed a sword, a spear, or anything else into his lap, he'd probably try to kill you with it. Â He's just old and has handled most weapons enough that he can try to murder you with it better than any greenhorn would. Hell, he's gone to the grindstone with a The Stick/lead filled shillelagh for most of his time there. Â That doesn't even exist in game.
Hammer's defined by what he actions he takes, what foul worded game he talks, and whatever motherfucker is unlucky enough to start getting hit by whatever motherfucker he has in hand after those two fail.
Not by a class name or guild.
