"Okay, elven last names are dependent on their class, which we will get to in a minute." Brock explained to Shadow. "As an elf, you have the innate skill of farsight--meaning you can see farther than a human, and see things a human eye can't. "You also have boosted magic resistance and the ability Keen Eye--your accuracy can't be lowered, and you can detect ambushes.

He next addressed Robert as he switched over the name generator to "Dwarf". "Dwarven last names tend to reflect earth, rock, mountains, jewels, and fire--and are also dependent on class." he explained. "Dwarves have naturally high defense, and have the skill Nightvision--meaning you can see normally in dim or dark conditions."

After generating some dwarven names, he reported "Brilom...Keda...Musan...Kinun...Thinor...like any of those, or do you need me to generate more?"

"We'll get to classes shortly." Brock replied. "Sirena characters are a magical agility class, so they make good minstrels, runeblades, rogues, rangers, and fighters. Their names tend to have a Spanish or Italian flavor.

"Next is deciding your class." Brock explained. "This is what role your character plays in the party."

He next displayed the current classes on the main screen. "If you need me to explain what the classes do, just ask. Any character can be any class, but some races will naturally be suited to some roles than others."

"An elven paladin is not impossible, but elves lean more into magic and agility based classes." Brock replied. "Some ideas for an elven class are minstrel, rogue, wizard, and cleric. If you do want a physical elf, fighter, runeblade, and magic knight are good choices.

@ShinigamiMiroku

"Runeblades are a more agility based version of the magic knight that draw out the magic of special runes engraved on rapiers, and bows." Brock explained. "Since they originated in the fantasy counterpart of Kalos, a lot of runeblades and runeblade skills have Kalosian names."

"The three standard archetypes for a runeblade are fire, ice, and light." Serena explained. "I play a light based runeblade because they have access to some powerful 'rainbow' skills as they level."

 

@Laserdragon14

"To clarify-- they have high magical ability and high resistance to evil magic." Brock explained. "If it came across as confusing before, I apologize."

 

@Laserdragon14

"Okay...are you sure you want to be a runeblade?" Brock asked. "Once you pick your class, you're stuck with it."

 

@ShinigamiMiroku

"A warrior is your standard physical fighter." Brock went on. "A fighter in C&C rules would be more like a martial artist. Their skill names are showy and flowery, akin to the moves in kung fu movies.

@ChocoChicken

"Luciana sounds great for a Sirena name--their last names are water and sky related." Brock explained. "When I get the chance to play, I play a minstrel. They are the best of the wizard and the cleric, as their songs can both help and hurt. They also learn a powerful skill named Swanna Song innately--other magic users have to learn it as they level, or are taught by a minstrel.

"Either way, you'd be a tank, who can give as much as you can take." Brock grinned. "A dwarven fighter is more of an agile tank--they can move, and they hit hard. So do you want to be a more defensive tank in the warrior, or an agile tank in the fighter?"
