- The lone Dragoon (though, not a Dragoon. RPing a Dragoon!? That would be preposterous! *Sarcasm*)
- A member of the Holy See's Knighthood, journeying from Ishgard to wage war on dragons beyond the icy wastes. Self discovery, romance and comedic scenes ensue.
- The above, but a far more serious character.
- The disillusioned youth whom has come to question his/her faith in Halone.
- The heretic. Exiled from Ishgard under suspicion of worshipping the dragons. Otherwise known as "The Renegade Concept".
- The civilian. Remains in Ishgard all their life, never questioning the Holy See or the Fury. Is a good person all their lives. Dies. Exciting, yes?
Though, all these ideas have been re-used so many times they're starting to look and feel like recycled waste. So... Merrh, I'm at my wits end for ideas.
Those are all good baselines, I think. As starting points, they can make a fun character. I wouldn't be overly concerned with whether someone else has already done it first; as the saying goes, "there is nothing new under the sun." No character with a decent amount of thought put into him can be defined in a couple of sentences anyway, and I am a firm believer that a character should be shaped by the present (i.e. what happens during the course of RP with others) more so than his/her past.
