[SIZE="5"]The Eclipse Legion[/SIZE]
*Please note that this is unfinished and I'm going to be working on it when I'm bored. The skill section is incomplete. It'd also be helpful if someone explained how to work tables, so I can make proper ones.
*Names suggestions are also welcome
*Currently working on Sharpshooters and Hitmen; too similar in first job.
Introduction
A schism has broken the once united adventurers of the Maple World. The Black Magician is in need of adventurers unfaithful to the Cygnus cause and ready to battle and revolt against the army of light. Any adventurer over the level of 20 can create a new character to join his legion of darkness, and our synergy can eradicate their corrupt army.
Raids
The Eclipse Legion classes participate in raids. These are much like party quests, and during raids a party (or parties) bands together to bombard a Cygnus structure/encampment/group. The raid takes place in phases. First with the breaching of the main wall(s), second with a firefight, and finally with a pillaging. Sharpshooters and Hitman however can participate in assassinations. They can battle a boss form of a major cygnus leader or subordinate. Assassinations are done solo.
Classes
Neophyte
The Neophyte is the standard beginner, just renamed. They receive robes much like the Cygnus, except the Neophyte's is black and red.
Frost Wizard
Much like the Flame Wizard. Features ice based skills instead however. Their skills allow them to easily demolish Cygnus buildings.(SKILLS INCOMPLETE)
1st Job- Frost Wizard
2nd Job- Frost Mage
3rd Job- Frost Archmage
Hooligan
This is the counterpart to the Cygnus Nightwalker (thief). Instead of claws however, they are equiped with daggers. They are ace at theivery and pillage tactics.(SKILLS INCOMPLETE)
1st Job- Hooligan
2nd Job- Louche
3rd Job- Desperado
Combatant
The warrior Eclipse Legion class. They are equiped with polearms (because polearms need more love). They feature skills similar to the Soul Master cygnus class. They are vivacious little buggers. They can buff their buddies in the Legion. They can also slightly aid with structure destruction.(SKILLS INCOMPLETE)
1st Job- Combatant
2nd Job- Bellicose

Sharpshooter
The crossbow weilding counterpart to the Wind Breaker. Features many skills that involve sniping. They do the assassinations for the Black Magician. His greatest foes evanesce behind the scenes. Usually do solo jobs unlike other Eclipse legion classes. (SKILLS INCOMPLETE)
1st Job- Sharpshooter
2nd Job- Triggerman

Hitman
The pirate counterpart to the Striker that utilises guns. Is very similar to the Sharpshooter in the fact that they both feature numerous sniping skills. The Hitman is also based around contract killings (and this will show in some of their job-related quests). They hitman helps kill the enemies during raids and assassinates foes during solo jobs. The Hitman is very different from the Gunslinger. (SKILLS INCOMPLETE)

Tutorial/Starting
The Neophyte slowly fades into a dark room. As you head toward the left, it appears you are in a damp cave. Eventually you find yourself dazed and confused in an immense cavern.
As you slowly go left and downward in the cavern NPC trickle information to you, but of course they have cliffhangers. You are also being trained along the way. At the last map in the cave you find yourself in a watery grotto. As you head down a small path, you find yourself at a steep cliff overlooking the sea.
The sky outside is very dark and tenebrous. It's raining relentlessly. There is a small encampment to the right and the left leads to a deadend filled with fly-eye and bat like monsters. The people at the encampment induct you to the Eclipse Legion (they are class instructors). They of course give you job and Eclipse Legion related quests WHICH WILL BE VERY CREATIVE ONCE I FINISH THEM.
As you continue heading toward the right you slowly make your way into the town of Perion.
About The Eclipse Legion
The Eclipse Legions classes have specialised quests that are based on contract killings, theft, and destruction of Cygnus related buildings/encampments. 1st Job "Eclipse" have a summon much like the Cygnus. This summon however is a ghost that looks much like the Pokemon Haunter. The Eclipse Legion are the antagonists.
If many classes were boosted/nerfed it could be possible to even include PvP with Cygnus against Eclipse Legion. However, regular Adventurers would have to be discluded. They would remain neutral.
