Yeah. After reading on the lore of many of the jobs, the impression I got was that the majority of the jobs, as opposed to the classes, had a pseudo "Luke Skywalker Jedi" vibe where "the order is nearly or completely extinct and becoming one is nearly impossible. But hey, you're the WoL and you're special so have at it."
I wouldn't be surprised if my character ends up also just being a Pugilist or some sort of hand-to-hand combatant and is only an OOC Monk through in-game mechanics. Amazing feats like unlocking chakra is something that I'd look into later down the line after my character has gone through some development. I don't have any intention of being an uber powerful character, especially right off the bat, unless it fits the development (one of my SWTOR characters did but that's only because it developed naturally in the story. My other alts were average at best).
Once I've played through the Monk storyline, I'll likely have a better understanding and a desire of where I want to go. Prior to that, he's pretty much just a guy who owns a pair of brass knuckles and knows how to kick.
