This is some advice a person on a different forum had for me:
"I do not know how far you've delved into the 2.1 sections of the story, but I'm quite confident Miranda would be fiercely pleased to have a role in the Scions by the end of story at present. Philosophically its right on track. Having said that the quarreling and bickering of the Cities and the politics of infighting promised in the next patch will likely make some fascinating story fodder for you.
Miranda could easily be a cnj, thm and arc. Jobs wise as stated above, each job leaves room for your character to be an independent, itinerant version of each. The Paladin is told to not be a servant sworn to the Sultana, but to all people for example. The jobs most in keeping however, are indeed Whm (not fully committed to Gridania's vision but blessed by THE whm guru to serve beyond), Blm (a wizard who weilds destructive power but using it to safeguard the world from the void). Or Smn (a rebel researcher seeking the lost arts as a way of fighting the primals). All of them allow an off the beaten path direction for storycraft and I think a clever enough effort could write two or three of them into one interpid soul. Why however? What is her passion? What is she protecting, what is worth going to war for her?"
Other RPers, however, seem to think that lorewise, it is very difficult if not impossible for a character to be a Job class and that the storylines are just a way of telling a story to make you feel powerful. So what do you think? Would it be pushing Mary Sue territory to have one or two Job classes IC?
