野獸調鍊師 · Beast Tamer — One who makes ferocious beasts into companions

The beast tamer (野獸調鍊師) is a profession making fierce beasts and magical creatures into companions for combat. More than mere hunters, they're animal psychologists who deeply understand creature nature and psychology to build trust relationships, handling regular animals like lions, tigers, bears, hawks, and wolves to magical beasts like griffins, pegasi, and chimeras. In Western fantasy, D&D's Beast Master Ranger, Diablo's Druid, and Final Fantasy XI's Beastmaster are prominent. Japanese works like Monster Hunter present the hunter-fighting-beasts variant. Eastern tradition frequently depicts Taoist immortals or Three Kingdoms heroes commanding fierce tigers. Often portrayed as solitary figures distanced from human society through their bond with animals.

槍騎士 · Lancer — A specialist in charges and piercing strikes

The lancer is a mounted warrior class wielding long lances to charge on horseback. In heavy plate armor, they concentrate the warhorse's kinetic energy at the lance tip to pierce enemy armor and shields in a single overwhelming strike. The star of medieval European tournaments, where the joust between two charging knights became the symbol of chivalry. Existing across civilizations — Japanese yari cavalry, Polish hussar lancers — they're popular as powerful single-strike classes in fantasy RPGs through FF's Dragon Jump and D&D's Cavalier.

戰士 · Warrior — The foundational melee combat class fighting with strength and endurance

The warrior is the most fundamental and universal melee combat class in fantasy RPGs, fighting on the front lines with various weapons — swords, axes, spears, blunt weapons — through raw strength and stamina. Relying on pure martial power and combat experience rather than magic or special abilities, warriors often serve as tanks in heavy armor absorbing enemy attacks. Boromir from Tolkien and D&D's Fighter class are archetypal, representing the 'powerful but simple' classic accessible to beginners. The most common class in guilds and mercenary companies, often appearing as companions in heroic narratives.
