Moved to RP Discussion forum section since it fits here better~
Originally, Kylin was very much set as a conjurer prior to the lore changes and when it focused more on the elemental aspects over healing. I've since had to gradually get him away from it after they made the changes to the class and put him solidly in the Thaumaturge/Black Mage role. Hailing from a family that's very well versed in magic (and has its roots in Ul'dah), the thaumaturge and black mage fit him perfectly.
I never really delved much beyond the mage classes for Kylin (IC nor OOC). For ARR, he's still going to be very skilled in the magical related stuff and so his thaumaturge skills are still going to be at the forefront. However, he'll be switching his primary training into Arcanist/Summoner and become extremely fluid in those abilities, more so than black magic even.
Seeing as a portion of these past 5 years was devoted to Ky buffing up, he's also taken up swordplay to an extent. This is mostly exclusive to single-handed swords. While he's certainly not as advanced in the art as others may be, he's much better at it than he was in the past and can stand his ground with more ease when physical combat is closing in on him.
He's also going to be pretty good in mining, although that's largely a part of him overseeing excavations (and sometimes museum projects) on behalf of House Felstar more so than actual mining.
Summary: Thaumaturge/Black Mage, Conjurer, Arcanist/Summoner, Gladiator, Miner.
