@Faye - I actually borrowed the name from a character from the anime Durarara!! >w< I thought the name was cute so I adopted it. Also yiss kitties!
@Unnamed - I do, actually! I want to incorporate what I have in-game onto the forum, which brings me to what I feel like should be an obvious question, but one way or the other I'm not sure? The character is a black mage, maxed out (with several other jobs, but I don't think incorporating those as canon would be realistic). Is that okay? Or is she starting fresh in the growth department? I'm less interested in having her grow in abilities and more about going on a more personal journey, all things considered. (I'll have her history drafted once I figure out how to create her wiki page).
@Miryn - I'll be sure to ask if I come up with any! Thanks for the welcome!! <3
For combat-related classes, I'd probably keep it to a couple for "mastery" so avoid what others would call "special-snowflaking". It doesn't mean you'd have to be useless in the other ones, but a person who can do everything would feel a little stale, no?  I don't think anyone would have any issues with a couple classes, maybe one job, and a few crafting/gathering of decent skills. An example would be Franz, the character I play, who primarily fights with an axe or uses a tome for arcanima. He's not particularly the "best" at any, but if I had to place him somewhere in the leveling scale, he'd probably be a Marauder-Scholar mix for RP. He knows his way around a forge and hammer well, so smithing of any kind is where he'd excel. Naturally, he's got basic competence in the other crafts, but in practice, not so much. I'd assume he knows how to chop down a tree or pick some plants, but he may not know much about it.
For Black Mage, would there be a reason she studies magic from the Void, rather than say, the astral/umbral magic a Thaumaturge uses?Â
Edit: Here's a nice write up by Sounsyy on some of the class/job history.

That makes a lot of sense, yeah. I was planning on keeping her expertise to a minimum, because having her multiple jobs would feel really confusing for me. Black Mage and Goldsmith (goldsmith actually makes more sense than black mage due to her history and upbringing) are what I'm looking at right now for her, and there is a reason for her turning to the void as opposed to Astral/Umbral magicks. I'll have that outlined in her history as well :3 And thanks for the link! It will definitely come in handy x3 OwO
