You made a mention of a shy personality that leads the party into battle as a tank, this is something that I intend to do (my character development is still in its elementary stages so its not definite). There are a few ways that I have thought of on how to justify a character with this sort of "flaw", but I am still in the works of it all. Obviously if I can't make it work then it won't be... But time will tell.Hahaha yea i knew some one out their would try this out. If you can figure it out I love to read read your story.
Great post, I just wanted to say that I found it humorous that you mentioned an idea that I had .

(I wanted to be a Miqo'te mage of some description), so I guess I picked THM as it seemed like a good starting point for Solo play, whilst still fitting within the characters aesthetic.You must of put a lot thought in to that. good hear some one trying  work around personality and body shape.
I would say it fits the attitude I am taking with him, he's not scrawny by any means, but he's not super buff. Though he is a magic user, he believes in the quote (paraphrased) A strong mind requires a strong body, and a strong body requires a strong mind (can't find the actual quote).Â
He has trained how to survive in the wilds without the use of magic, and will most likely take some mundane class to reflect that (most likely PUG/ARC), but certainly not a class that uses two handed weapons.

I definitely picked my class because I think it's cool. It might be because the guy that introduced me to MMOs always made me be a healer. So once I got the chance I made a cool sword person. Since then I always liked picking classes that use swords and have cool armor. Then that same person pretty much yelled at me all the time when I would tank. In the end It helped me play better, but playing games now is a lot more fun without them~
Does this class fit my Role Player?
I'm new to RP and I have never done it. So I've no idea if it will suit my character. I've thought about what type of character I'd liker her to be, but I guess I still have a lot to flesh out. That said I guess I'm pretty shy and my RP may reflect that.. I may have to change what class I play? =\
How do I role play with the change of classes or subclass ( Dragoon, or Lancer and monk)?
I.. I dunno!
