A discussion took place in FC chat last night over how many players play characters that are ICly "Jobs" (Dragoon, Paladin, Scholar, Black Mage, Warrior, etc.), and how many play IC "Classes" (Archer, Lancer, Gladiator, Thaumaturge, etc.). I believed most, or a large percentage of characters play Jobs. Another believed most play Classes. It was a lighthearted discussion, and I hope to keep this the same way. I am not looking to scrutinize characters, or argue against someone playing certain types of characters. I am not really looking to make anyone feel like they need to present lore information to support their character (even though I usually like to discuss lore). I also know that many characters fall into categories outside of the narrow Jobs and Classes of the game. I tried to include as many options as I could think of in the poll. Please vote. If you feel like it, I'd love to read about what your character is, and maybe why you chose to make them that way. Edit: Oops, I didn't allow multiple choices in the poll. Choose the best poll choice for your main character, but feel free to post about your other characters as well. -- I'll start. Show Content 'Kiht Jakkya' Kiht Jakkya has skill in several classes. She was a Lancer for the longest time, but trained as an Archer for hunting. She uses knives as secondary weapons. Now Kiht is primarily an Archer. She still uses knives, and pole-arms are more of a thing she will use in the occasional spar, but no longer in serious battles. I'd say she falls into the Class category, and does not have Job-related powers. She is a Hunter and a Scout but those titles are more descriptors of what she does for a living (which are jobs by dictionary definition, I know, but tell SE that!) It just so happens none of the Jobs in the game suited my plan for Kiht despite the countless times people have given her the needed hooks and plot devices to be a Dragoon. If the game had a Ranger or Beastmaster Job at least mentioned in the lore, I'd have Kiht be either one in a heartbeat. I'm sure some people have gone that route regardless of lore, and they may be on to something. I'm very cautious with character development though. Interestingly enough, she has two Dragoon soul stones that she does -not- use. 90% of the time, she doesn't even have them on her person. They are plot devices I have been left with from past RP. They may have use in a future story, but in most of her RP, they never come up. Show Content 'Qara Hotgo' Qara Hotgo is a Dark Knight apprentice. That means she fits the bill of being a Job. I decided to take her this route because I wanted to explore the story dynamics of a relatively ordinary Xaela refugee having the desire to become something more powerful in order to change things. But why Dark Knight? I wanted to meet the challenges that the swiftly-developed stigma and stereotypes have cast onto the Job, and make a character who is one, but -isn't- what many people might expect. I have my own idea of what a genuine Dark Knight should be, and wish to portray that, and believe I can abide by lore when doing so. Otherwise, Qara is seemingly ordinary aside form the unique nature of being an individual. Kiht Jakkya's Wiki || Qara Hotgo's Wiki || Tumblr for Both
