Dominator: *screaming in another room* Ishtar: the demon realm hath no fury like a boytoy distraught

[ethaneldritch]

I freaking love Elsword's class system. It's a unique way to handle a diverse roster without flooding it with too many new faces, and an ingenious tool for character development, allowing the writers to explore multiple facets of each one in ways we wouldn't otherwise get to see.

For example, the "tragically dead parents" trope is often difficult to get right, but I think Add's story in particular manages to get away with it because of how Add himself unconsciously carries on his parents' legacies, depending on which path he goes down. In the first two, he takes after his father (Asker), while in the second two, he embodies traits of his mother (Grace).

As Doom Bringer, he actually ends up achieving his father's original goal of creating a war machine by fusing a human with nasod technology. Obviously, the outcome is drastically different from what Asker was probably intending (the biggest one being that Add still retains his sentience/free will), but the concept remains.

As Dominator, while there's no explicit reference to either his mother or father's endeavors, he still ends up taking on a role similar to his father: a figure in authority intending to bend reality to his will. However, again, there's a substantial difference in the fact that Asker attempted to do this in an abusive and controlling way over real people, while Add is depicted as the well-mannered architect of a new virtual utopia, with no interest in commandeering actual humans.

Mad Paradox has the most obvious connections, of course. He's so fixated on his mother that he literally breaks time and space attempting to go back in his own timeline to save her. (Add in general is an interesting example of how time travel apparently works in Elrios, with the stand-out rule that you can't actually go back in your own time, but you can travel to the pasts of different timelines. Too bad this concept is never explored or addressed anywhere else ever. *heavy sigh*...)

And finally, Overmind is the most ironic. He ends up applying his mother's research to his father's philosophy, subtly setting himself up as a "benevolent dictator" over the people he helps, using them as unwitting test subjects in his schemes for...world domination? I don't actually remember what he was after in the end, whoops-

I think my point still stands, though. It's pretty cool!
