Character: Erik Mynhier
Primary Weapon(s): Sword and Shield
Class-equivalent: Paladin/Gladiator (possibly Dark Knight later)
Style: Protective
Offense/Defense/Versatile: Defensive (offensive later as the game develops)
Strengths: Honorable one-on-one combat
Weaknesses: Subterfuge
Summary:
Erik's father was a Ravager (what I am calling the DKnight class until it is officially revealed, then I will recon it) in Ala Mhigo before its conquest. He was trained by his father for the first few years of his life as is the custom for Highlanders. After being cast out and the subsequent death of his father, his training shifted to that of his mother who was a conjurer until he was like 16. He moved to Ul'dah and found gil to be hard to find, so he started working as a merc to survive. In that time he realized he was more comfortable with combat then he was with healing so he resumed his martial training. He chose gladiator because several of the forms, despite using a shield as well, were similar to the two-handed techniques used by the Ravagers. His training, including his conjuring, was long but fruitful. All was instrumental to his selection by the Sultansworn to become a Paladin.
Extra:
Due to his professional and cultural background, Erik often forgets that people are not as honorable in combat as he is. There have been numerous instances where he has been tricked in battle or has refused to press what he would call an unfair advantage.
