Absolutely. Â I want to make him a character that cherishes family and friendship over all else, and he becomes a gladiator out of necessity. Â His dream is to become a Dragoon, following in his father's lancing footsteps, along with the stories of Dragoons his father would tell him when he was younger. Â
IC, regardless of his desires, he learns the hard way that the strongest thing one can do is sacrifice for the better of others. Â He feels obligated to care for his family, to DEFEND them. Â His patron will be Azeyma, as he swears to Her when his father dies that he won't ever allow anyone he loves to be hurt again. Â I want him to make this pledge when he's young, so it is a bit naive, but it becomes a part of who he his.
OOC, I've always played a DPS character and wanted to try something different. Â My original intention was to just nab some of the early skills to cross-class stuff with Lancer, but I really ended up liking it, and the small crew I met while playing said they really liked how I was playing it (healer never took a hit!) Â At that point I realized that from an RP perspective a character's strength doesn't necessarily have to rely on his chosen discipline, but rather how he implements himself into WHATEVER role he is in.
