So! Whenever I'm lite-RPing in my own personal headcanon through a dungeon, in my preferred RP glamour, I always say to myself "But I'm not a paladin" akin to supahotfire's "But I'm not a rapper". Technically, I suppose Kale is a 'master gladiator', but I'm not particularly keen on that word, given it's associated to the Coliseum, etc. Instead, in my head canon, I came up with the term 'sipahi' (from the in-game items) to basically mean a heavily-armoured Ul'dahn swordsman who can also fight in a cavalry capacity. Maybe like how an Ishgardian GLD is called a 'knight'!
Do you have any particular "alternative class names" that you use for your character? For example, maybe your character is an axeman but not a 'marauder' insofar as he/she lacks the 'Lominsan pirate' associations. An assassin rather than a rogue. It might be less fluid for conjury or thaumaturgy, given that the names of those disciplines in-universe seem pretty 'fixed', but there's no need to restrict that for the sake of this exercise.
Curious to hear of people's creations!
