Kholdy presents: Let's Play Etrian Odyssey!

[Kholdy]

Or at least, I'm announcing it. Before I get started on this thread, let me just get this out of the way (skip this if you're not interested):

I quit my Pokémon Black LP because it was my intention to finish the game before the western release. Thanks to the horrible service my local computer store is giving me, however, this is no longer possible. Also, it's been so long now, I've just lost interest. So instead, I present to you this!

Now, some of you may know Etrian Odyssey. It's basically a Dungeon-crawler RPG for the DS... and it's insanely difficult, and very unfair at points. Should be fun, right?
Yeah, I'm going to regret this. :(

Anyway, I can't even start the game without first having a team! So I'm running a contest of sorts. Please pick a class and avatar from the list below, and explain why you think you'd be good at that class. The four winners will be my team, with the characters named after themselves! The fifth member of the team is Khold, who will be a class of my own choice.

Here's an example of an entry:

-Class: Troubadour
-Avatar: 2 (just put a number between 1-4 here, corresponding to the avatar you want to be)
-Reason: I once sang a song, and it killed someone. True story.

Required classes (I WILL take these three classes, no exceptions)

Medic
I doubt this class needs an introduction. They're the only healers in the game, and I don't know anyone who's managed to finish the game without one.

Genders: I think the first avatar is female, the rest are male. I'm not 100% sure though, they may well all be male.

Protector
The tank. Whoever picks this class should be prepared to see his character die a lot (then again, I'm sure everyone will die in due time). Sound contradictory? Well... they only start tanking properly after like, half the game, but they're needed eventually.

Genders: First two are female, last two are male.

Survivalist
This is pretty much the go-to class for boss killing... They're not necessary, really, but the game gets incredibly hard without one... So I'm taking one!

Genders: F-F-M-M, like before.


That's all the classes I'm definitely taking. This leaves two spots - please be aware that Khold can be one of the above three, or one of the following.

Other classes

Alchemist
The mage. Can deal massive damage to random encounters, but will likely be dead throughout most of the boss fights.

Genders: I think it's F-F-M-M again, but these are really confusing...

Dark Hunter
The masochist of the team. Specializes in status effects.

Genders: F-F-M-M

Landsknecht
The typical Soldier/Warrior class. Will annihilate random encounters, and be moderately useful for bosses.

Genders: F-M-M-M

Troubadour
And lastly, this. I considered putting this one on the required list, but that would make 4 required members... So nah. This one can buff the party, and regenerate everyone's TP (this game's MP) anywhere, which is amazing.

Genders: F-F-M-M


Alright, that's that. Good luck everyone!

[Giratina ♀]

-Class: Protector
-Avatar: 4
-Reason: Um, hello? (Yeah, you know you want a team member based off of a seven-foot-tall being of darkness whose axe-sword can squash you flat. Just to keep up the reference, call him Lexaeus - or Lexy if that won't fit. >3)

 

[Kholdy]

Giratina, you seem to have misunderstood. Explain (in a silly manner, if you want to) why you, personally, would be good at your class of choice. The character will be named after you (in your case, the Protector would be named Giratina) if you're chosen.


Oh, and just to be clear, I'm eventually going to need at least 4 different entries, and two of those have to be from the required list.

Edit: Oh yeah, names are limited to 8 characters - if your name is longer than that, I'll figure something out, don't worry.
Also, veterans to the game may realize I've left out the two secret classes from this list. Obviously, I don't have access to those from the start. They're also horrible.

 

[Giratina ♀]

Ah, I see~ Yeah, that was my fault. Sorry. Happens all the time. |D

Well, in that case, we'll use Alchemist #2. Completely useless except for with words. :3

Class: Protector

Reason: SWORDCHUCKS YO! owait... :P

Also, I must be in this since poor Mirby the Yooterii is lost forever...

And I protect people when they need it...

 

[Daydream]

This looks like fun. ;o I wanna join in.~

Class: Survivalist
Avatar: 4
Reason: I can be a very stubborn person in real life, meaning I would absolutely refuse to die! Perfect survivalist methinks. Unless there are spiders... Spiders might not work so well. I wouldn't survive those. D: ...Otherwise, take me! (:

 

[Kholdy]

Don't worry Mirby - I was going to ditch the Mirbinator fairly soon anyway. :disappoin Because Meguroko is awesome.

Keep the entries coming guys - this contest-type thingamajig will end as soon as I get my computer back, which, I've been told, will be sometime next week. In other words, it could be anywhere between next week and 26 years from now, give or take a few days.

Reason: Because emo mages are just badass like that. (Oh, and I've once predicted two legendary catches in Fire Red Omega, which must be magic!)

 

[Sage Harpuia]

These seems quite fun, so I'll give it a try:
Class: Alchemist
Avatar: 3
Reason: I like a lot chemistry and during laboratory at school, in a reaction I caused an explosion with Hydrogen...it can be useful and badass, can't it? (at least in a nerd way...:\)

And I want to be an idiot during boss fights:D!

 

[Kholdy]

Lots of Alchemist lovers. Gonna be a tough decision :(
