Guild Labrys is a female-only troupe named after a double-headed Mediterranean battleaxe. The labrys was supposedly used by Amazons and the Greek goddesses Demeter and Artemis. It is also a symbol of lesbian unity and strength.

I am much more physical battle oriented than most other gamers. Always have been, always will be.

Ronin, Landskencht, DarkHunter in the front, and Medic and Hexer in the back.
Everthing on the front is for killing and taking hits (obvious). The ronin is the main damage dealer, the darkhunter is for dispatching FOEs with climax and Ecstasy(is equipped with Dominator). The landskark is there mainly as a shock absorber, does decent damge. the hexer is for boses and poisoning Gels, medic is for healing of course. I Should really replace my -LANDSHARK BANNED-....

I've just added a Protector to my party but she hasn't really had a chance to be useful yet since she's such a low level compared to the rest of the party. One thing I'm not sure about, and I notice Shinji mentioned this too; does Provoke stay in effect for a number of turns once it's used? If not, isn't it quite useless if it triggers after all the enemies have attacked that turn? If it does stay in effect, is it possible to stack it to build "aggro", as you may do in Final Fantasy XI? I'm trying to build an anti-FOE and anti-boss Protector by combing Provoke and Parry but I need Provoke to last for at least the next turn for it to work.

Well anyway, as my party stands at the moment it's like this:
Makoto: Female Landsknecht, level 20
Arturia: Female Protector, level 8
Alex: Female Alchemist, level 18
Freya: Female Medic, level 20
Teclo: Male Gunner, Level 18

Almost all female... Well what can I say, I like the female portraits more.

I then have an item gathering party who are accompanied by one of the above. It varies exactly who, as I try different things out each time. It's make up of four Survivalists: 2 male: Autumn and Winter, 2 female: Spring and Summer. Eventually I plan to have my Beast (a wolf called Corbenic) accompany them as he'll be able to protect them very well while also gathering any type of item himself.

Edit: Highlighted a question I really need answered - I don't want to continue on in EO until I know because I'll either be building a Protector based around Provoking and Parrying or one based around the general shield skills.

I mixed in originality with cliche-ness. My team:

Titus the Protector~Salem the War Magus~Felus the Tiger(Beast)
Helius the Hexer~Carmen the Survivalist

Yeah, really pathetic, I know.
