character question: What jobs are canon to your character(s)?

[Local_Custard]

This game allows you to play any and every class/job that is available.
What jobs are canon to your character's personal lore? Do you have any lore around those jobs?

as some examples:
Rhel'a canon jobs are: dragoon, bard, gunbreaker, red mage, culinarian, fisher, miner, and botanist. I am contemplating if I should make sage a canon job (even though I struggle with how front loaded it is).
However, being that he is an everything alt I do much much more with him.

He became a dragoon after taking up the lance. He likes how high dragoons jumped and thought it would be fun. He would excel in equal parts fail. Sometimes he would be a body imbedded into the floor or somehow manage to find himself up in places he probably shouldn't be (like tangled in a mass of rope on a ship). He is also a floor tank sometimes. When he does manage to stick the landing (like say in a foe), however, he is hard to shake off.

He became a red mage because he saw X'rhun Tia. That was his main motivator. He does alright as a red mage and is willing to take up the role of caster if a party employing him needs it.

My fragile Middie with zero muscle tone is from a noble Gridanian caster family. Her original canon job was Conjurer and her parents wanted her to become a White Mage but she's more of a free spirit who wanted more versatile magical powers. She's been a pro Red Mage for years, it's what she truly enjoys.

My main (started at Gridania): WHM, BRD, DRG, DRK, SMN (but not SCH)
My main alt (started at Ul'dah): PLD, SAM, RDM, MCH, SGE
My alt alt (started at Limsa Lominsa): NIN, DNC, WAR, SCH, ACN (not SMN, this is for the purpose of doing caster role quests)

During Shadowbringers, my main was the only one traveling to the first. My main alt helped with Werlyt and my alt alt helped with Bozja.

My previous main character, whom I've now retired after EW, went from WAR to DRK to ROG (don't worry, I was playing NIN... albeit badly) to SAM, while my current one is a PLD/WHM/DNC All-Rounder. My first alt is a GNB/RDM, while my neglected second started out a THM (BLM in-game, though I make a point not to play it because it scares me), then a PLD/AST/RPR All-Rounder, but is getting demoted to either AST/RPR or just RPR going into 7.0

After stowing away and fleeing Ul'Dah, my WoL became an arcanist and later a Scholar while trying to make a new life for themself in Limsa. They remained such until ShB where they gave up healing and started shooting things as a Machinist. Going in to EW they went the way of the Gunbreaker - most in part because it felt like a nice mix between the shields of scholar and the explosives of machinist.

I don't foresee them changing to a new job any time soon as they seem to be enjoying the ability to protect others.

Paladin during ARR, Dark Knight after ARR permanently.

If I go and try to right in detail lore I'll sit for hours doing so lol

[ZephyrMenodora]

Primarily a White Mage, though has a strong leaning towards Summoner, Paladin, Warrior, and Monk.

I continue to view all other classes he's adept in as hobbies or community service, especially the other Gridania jobs/crafts given that remains his home town.

I have a new alt that I'm playing exclusively as a Gladiator RP wise. I don't really have the time to multi-level a second character, but since I did ARR nearly 10 years ago it's nice to remember what I pretty much forgot and have a new appreciation given I understand more about what is happening this time around.

[Vencio]

Paladin & Bard

Paladin: From Foot Soldier to Templar Knight (whilst in Ishgard) & now a Holy Knight/ Free Paladin of the realm & beyond without allegiance to any major Nation but the Adventurer’s Guild.

Bard: Partially carries a small flute & though Vencio isn’t an Archer he learned a little of the musical/magical aetheretic components to help him sooth his thoughts as a means of therapy & comfort (No he does not carry a bow & isn’t fully a Bard/musician).

Mao is BLM. Mao dabbles little bits in WHM (to help others during overland adventures) and DRG (out of respect for Estinien whats Mao considers as Mao new Big Brother) buts Mao is first and foremost BLM. Mao was adopted when Mao was baby by Dragon Momma. Her tried raise Mao best she could but when long-eared soldiers came and attacked Mao dragon family and killed Mao Big Dragon Brother, Mao Dragon Momma knew her could not protect Mao forevers so Dragon Momma left Mao at entrance to Ul'Dah, hopings that some two-legger would take Mao in. Mao spent months as street-urchin tryings to survive in city. Then one day, when Mao gettings beat up by Hyur kids, some Lalas in black robes scared Hyur kids away and told Mao, "Come with us. We will teach you how to channel your hate." Mao considers Lalas to be wise and powerfuls.
