So, slightly different topic than normal, here; I was designing a collection of side characters for a "main" RP character's story that I was creating. All of these characters are from The First Shard, the world of the Shadowbringers expansion, and each of them had a different job; these jobs helped provide backstory to both the main RP character as well as the story as a whole, giving context to a number of details. Yes, I'm the type of guy that loves to create detailed backstories for even minor characters. What can I say? I love writing. However, I've ran into a slight issue; namely, I don't have all of the jobs for each of the characters figured out as of yet. I've got a number of other details of the characters all figured out, as well as three out of the six jobs figured and accounted for, but the jobs of three other characters still elude me; hence, I've decided to ask for help here, as the Discord kept getting off track and discussing stuff about Endwalker. As a small guideline for myself, I decided to restrict the characters to specific job types; each character has a choice of jobs for each role (Tank, Melee DPS, Physical Ranged DPS, Magical Ranged DPS, Pure Healer, and Barrier Healer). I've already got three of the roles filled up so far, along with a general idea of where I'm going to be going with their characters: - Pure Healer: Astrologian - a healer hailing from the Rak'tika Greatwood; bit of a fundamentalist, but a dedicated life-saver regardless. - Barrier Healer: Scholar - an intellectual currently researching The First's history in II Mheg; has made a partnership with a Pixie for protection. - Magical Ranged DPS: Red Mage - A former assassin from Eulmore; now wanders the region as a sellsword. With these roles filled, all there's only the Tank, Melee DPS, and Physical Ranged DPS jobs left to fill. I don't quite have any write-ups about the other three characters written as of yet - I was going to figure out the job first, and then go from there on character development. That being said; does anyone have an opinion on what jobs would be interesting to see in The First? I've got the choices below: - Tank: Paladin, Gunbreaker, Dark Knight - Melee DPS: Monk, Ninja, Samurai - Physical Ranged DPS: Dancer, Bard, Machinist So, what do you guys think? Out of the nine jobs across three roles above, which ones do you think would be the most interesting/fitting for The First? Keep in mind; I'm not asking anyone to write the characters for me, I'm legit just wondering what jobs I should be considering to write about. This is just to give me an idea on how to start; every character will be my own creation, I just want a little nudge in the direction that you guys would want to read. So, thoughts?

That is true; they have Dark Knight on The First, and they're referred to as Virtue Hunters. Also, several other jobs were called different things on The First; can't remember the specifics, though. Yeah, I'm just trying to avoid accusations of "special-snowflake syndrome", you follow me? Haven't had many bad RP experiences here, exactly, but I'm still hesitant about pushing my luck; you can thank Reddit for that. Is there a board here where I can post a Bio for this character? I'd like to get some potential feedback, see what I could change, and what ideas that get brought to the table.

Currently attempting to create an RP character; I was going to be playing as a Ronso from The First, travelling around as a sellsword. I had the idea for said character to be making heavy usage of darkness-based abilities; while Dark Knight, BlackMage, and Astrologian are all technically options, I had the idea for another particular job: Reaper. I know that, on Eorzea, the Reapers were created by Garlaen farmers as a form of defense; however, would it be possible for someone from The First to be able to become their equivalent of a Reaper? I mean, the worship of darkness is common there, scythes are available as weapons - with one character in Shb even using attacks similar to a Reaper, nonetheless - and the mage questline does show that it is possible for someone to open a connection to the void. However, I've tried talking to some other sites before, and haven't gotten any consistent answers; some say it's impossible for a Reaper to develop naturally on Norvrandt, while others have said it's theoretically possible. So, what about you guys? Is it possible for a Reaper to be created on The First? Any advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Question I wanted to ask; what are the Jobs that are canonically available in the world of The First, during the events of Shadowbringers? Like, what Jobs would someone canonically be able to learn if they were from that world? From what I've found so far, I've seen Warrior, Paladin, Bard, White Mage, and Black Mage from the Warriors of Darkness in the MSQ. I think The Jongelurs have Ninja and Red Mage as their jobs, and Ran'jit seems to be a Monk mixed with Summoner - although I have heard some say he's a prototype for the Reaper, of all things. So, that leaves Gunbreaker, Dark Knight, Blue Mage, Machinist, Dancer, Dragoon, Samurai, Scholar, Astrologian, and technically Reaper and Sage unaccounted for. Can anyone confirm whether or not any of the above jobs would be available to someone on The First? I'm still working my way through the MSQ myself, so if anyone can answer my question, I'd be grateful.
