Apparently, "Viper" is used in place of Buccaneer in some Korean and Japanese MMOs. It also makes me think of assassin, like Assassin's Creed, which even the armor kind of looks like. But they don't really want to go with assassin because it sounds bad (even NIN's ability with that name moves away from it becoming Dream Within A Dream). So Viper works to "get around the censors", so to speak, by kind of hinting at "swashbuckler assassin flirting with the gray areas of the law" without outright cementing it as a "lawbreaker" or "evil" class.

Not to mention the two swords could be like the two fangs of a poisonous snake (viper) which kind of make me think of something like the "Wolf Fang Fist" from Dragonball
so what will happen if the job doesn't include any type of DoTs in the form of poison??

btw snakes are venomous.
