It is primarily training that defines the Dragoon.
Though primarily used for comedy, the Hildebrand Quest shows that even an old doddering fart of a former Dragoon can launch himself in the air (and nearly die).
Mind you, if you were not a Dragoon during the war, why would you want to be one?Â
They exist and were created /SOLELY/ to murder dragons. Dragons are now Ishgard's allies and given the Dragon's propensity to be sore little babies about EVERYTHING, I'd believe that Ishgard would do a lot to ensure you don't have any more aspiring dragon killers.
There was a humongous thread (caused by me admittedly) about future Dragoon RP.
My response was to retire my character (Though he hates his new desk job in the temple knights).
We /KNOW/ about 8-9 of the active dragoons already occupied by NPCs, thus the reason for my choice fore retirement being that being an active service dragoon iss akin to Warrior of Light in exclusivity. Actually it is more likely you went to void ark or crystal tower or any of the 24 man raids IC'ly than being an active service Dragoon post war.
Not only that but Traditional Ishgardian Dragoon training is /highly/ traumatic, on par with historical equivalencies of the Janissaries in old turkey (Willingly induced PTSD rage sort of stuff is the short hand).Â
So ask yourself /why/ you want to be a Dragoon and what merits does it gain from being one that cannot be achieved via being a Temple Knight or other settings. Lore book was a bit of a nut punch to extant Dragoons but a lot of us have moved on in ways, (lots of retirees, turned adventurers, reassigned). If your character disappears once the title of dragoon is removed, rethink the character.
