#I will 1000% have Lana pick up the Dark Knight Job

[evilpenguinrika]

Like when I decided to have Leo become an Archer/Bard, I too, have caved and decided Hayley should pick up being a Rogue along with her Monk job (you can read more about my Hosie/Hosie fankids FFXIV AU here and here // alternatively, for the non-AU Hosie/Hosie fankids lore, you can find the post about the kiddos here!)

I was kind of bumbling around wondering about what other class/jobs my Hosie fankids would have other than the ones I've listed in the first post I wrote and the more I thought about it, the more things change. Like I definitely changed my mind on a few things since writing the first post. Like Josie and Jay picking up Blue Mage (Siphoner reasons), Hope and Lana picking up Dark Knight (Vampire/Tribrid reasons), Hope picking up Red Mage (probably also Witch/Tribrid reasons), Lana picking up the new Viper Job (also Tribrid reasons but also it's such a cool looking job and I cannot wait--like the demonstration video for Viper looked SO COOL AND IT REALLY FITS LANA FOR WHAT I HAVE PLANNED BUT ANYWAYS--I am a bit surprised I haven't thought about any magic-casting jobs for Lana since you know, Tribrid as well like mom Hope). But I won't go too much in-depth about that since this post is about Hayley.

And then I decided to write a Hosie Final Fantasy XIV AU fic that I'm still working on and will hopefully post before October ends (especially because I have decided to try out NaNoWriMo for the first time ever so that'll be fun) and--

I don't know how it came to be, but when I was writing the scene where Hope is looking for a young Hayley at home, Hayley was being all sneaky and trying to surprise attack her mom Hope. And I was scratching my head writing that scene because I was like "wait I have her be a Pugilist/Monk in this AU why is she being sneaky sneaky?". But the more I wrote and thought about it, the more it just felt right that Hayley would also be more of the sneaky-sneak type in fights/battles along with her typical "imma come at ya full-on". And the more I thought about it, the more I was like:

"Okay, no yeah. This could work. Even if Hayley is very much a charge right into the front lines, she would also be able to take a step back and actually survey everything and probably be very good with certain activities that require stealth. Like maybe Hope and Josie try to explain to Hayley that charging in head-first isn't always a good idea. And maybe Hayley learned other ways to fight from her aunts and uncles or grandparents too. So maybe having her pick up the Rogue class would make sense."

Like maybe (like with Leo learning how to fight with weapons from grandpa Alaric) Hayley also goes to gramp's Alaric for weapon training since he has a plethora of weapons or something and probably would ask him and even mom Hope to fight with them since she's mainly ever used her fists. And maybe that would be a segway into teaching Hayley that sometimes it's better to look at a battle from a different angle and not charge in guns a blazing.

The only issue that I'm kinda 50/50 about is that once I reach lvl30 for Rogue, the Job that opens up for this class is Ninja. I'm not entirely sure if Hayley being a Ninja would fit her personality-wise (especially in my Hosie/Hosie fankids headcanon, Jay is an anime/manga fan lol). I think I'll just have to futz around and wait and see if I want to do that or not. If I don't have her be Ninja, I would be lacking in a lot of attacks and abilities and would be at a huge disadvantage. So I'm not entirely too sure. I mean, then again, I think maybe Rogue could just be a secondary class that I just won't play as much compared to Monk since it would just fit better like that.

I don't know. We'll see.

But anyways, also when I logged into the game as Hayley (haven't logged in as her in a long while), I got some new outfits and decided to wear em even though the stats aren't great for battle (the gloves and vest are new--didn't put on the new pants or boots because I wasn't a fan of the look on Hayley). Will have to glamour them once I'm at a high enough level to wear good gear. Because this outfit does feel fitting lol
