Regarding Dark Knight... - CrimsonMars - 04-05-2015
I dunno. I might make my alt into one if I can without making it mary-sueish. I'm not going to try real hard to work around the lore, though I imagine it to be snowflakey like Dragoon or White mage.

Hard mode: Don't make it Guts from Berserk.
Impossible mode: Don't make it have anything to do with MUH DARKNESS.

There've been people RPing with invisible greatswords since launch, people RPing as DRKs since launch and people already head-canoning their own lore for it despite it not even having been announced that early.
In comparison, there's almost nothing you can do to fuck up. Just go with it.

Well, we don't know what lore they're gonna be throwing at us as far as I'm aware. But I'm pretty distracted all the time...
If it can fit properly into my story and I actually think it can work, who knows. People make everything snowflakey. Don't worry about stuff like that and just do your thing as you please.

Yep.

Again, we'll see.

I'm not too worried about what other people may say about it since the rp community is relatively decent.

Off topic but how do I edit a poll? I want to add another option.

And btw, I really need to watch/read that.
RE: Regarding Dark Knight... - Chris Ganale - 04-05-2015
Ganale will be a DRK mechanically because greatswords, but he also has emotional issues from various things which could prompt a swerve in that direction. On the other hand, negative feelings don't seem to be a driving factor in 14 DRKs.

I'm one of 'em.
Thought I tend to use the winglet model without a shield.
I'll probably play Dark Knight job-wise. Obviously I won't be one in the lore, just a dude with a two handed sword.
I just hope that not all their models look like 500 pound buster swords like the artifact weapon.
RE: Regarding Dark Knight... - ThatOldDusk - 04-05-2015
I plan to change into one, I like giant s'words and I like the Paladin/Dark Knight aesthetic. but I am making great efforts as to not be Edgelord McSnowflakepants #928.
One needs to remember that jumping on board the DRK boat doesn't necessitate listening to Linkin Park...or having dead parents.
I have ideas in place but its all lore dependent and how flexible it can be. Still playing a lot of it by ear. :/
RE: Regarding Dark Knight... - Steel Wolf - 04-05-2015
The way I'm spinning Steel's Darkity Dark Darkness is just an expression of power--tying her martial skills with umbral energy. Nothing really that much deeper than that. Not hugged by a Voidsent or a walking fount of depression.
Should the Job class the use of personal trauma to tap into their power, or be fueled by some passion or rage a la The Dark Side, then she has some experiences to tap in to, but her husband's death hasn't been the full focus of her characterization. I don't expect that the Dark Knight will change that.
RE: Regarding Dark Knight... - Seriphyn - 04-05-2015
Isn't being fueled by anger or rage basically Warrior? Their eyes glow red and everything.
Dark Knight seems more magical from the few attacks we've seen, whereas Warrior is purely martial and potentially closer to what some folk want.
