    Does your character have a "theme"?

    I'm wondering if I'm the only one who does this in video games. Every character has a "theme" associated with them.

    One is a samurai/dragoon main - very tribal looking individual and his clothing sort of looks as if it were pieced together from whatever Allagen tech he could salvage and wild animals he could hunt.

    Another is a dark knight/red mage - kind of a blend of dark magic and swordsmanship. He's the individual in my profile picture.

    Now I want to create a third, but I'm not sure what sort of theme it should follow. I really am drawn to machinist and paladin and possibly ninja for this one, but I'm not quite sure how those two would mix. I'd like your suggestions and input on the sort of theme I could follow for this character.

    And if your character(s) follow a theme, I'd like to hear about it! Maybe it can give me some ideas. Thank you

    I went for military themed for Red Mage and Machinist

    For most of my other jobs, I try to stick to an asian theme.

    For my main, Paladin, you can see the theme I go for in all my glams in about 3 seconds, just look at the art I commissioned below and you'll figure it out. Or just look at my current glam in my lodestone profile. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...cter/11140107/

    My pld glam is sort of a mixture of sultana sworn and brass blades. Most of other glans are modern street or urban glams. I got an iron chef eorzea glam for culinarian.

    My crafters follow a very "businesswoman"/"noblewoman" theme. Everything else I try to go as ladylike as possible... with some exceptions like MCH, tanks, or dragoon (though damn, now I want to try a "battle ballgown"-type glam).

    9/10 my classes are set up to look like the actual aesthetic of the class(samurai like a swordsman, paladin as a knight, dragoon...well, it uses the level 50 augmented gear, dancer with nice flowing skirt/dress, etc). The only exceptions are during holidays. Or like right now as I saw a piece of art and I'm going to test a new glam for my GNB.

    Each character of mine has their own charisma or theme, I always enjoy taking care of such things ^^
    (I don't level all classes on the same character; rather, I make new alts).

    Not really. If my character has a theme, it is the concept of yin and yang. She isn't defined by any of the jobs I choose to main as I feel this too constricting.

    The lore surrounding my own character is she shuns her magical prowess despite being gifted in the those arts. Her ability to manipulate aether is off the charts due to her Lunarian lineage. However, she takes after her father who is proficient in melee combat. If I were to choose jobs to fit her personality, it would likely be NIN and RDM, but neither of these jobs are currently my main.

    My character follows the theme for almost every class. Meaning my MCH is wearing the Late Allagan Aiming set (that high tech look), my DRK is wearing darker "edgy" type stuff, my SCH looks like he's a professor, my DNC looks like a dancer, yadda yadda. The only classes that are "standardized" in theme for me are the casters (BLU, SMN, RDM, BLM) who are wearing the Kokuko PvP set to make them look like a black fox spirit.
