---> '''The MapleStory community upon their release'''

Warrior class for the Resistance, although they share more in common with Legend classes storyline wise than the Resistance. You see, the Demon Slayer was once one of the [[BigBad Black Mage's]] most powerful commanders, until his fellow commanders destroyed his hometown and killed his family. He attempted to fight the Black Mage, seeking revenge, but the Black Mage was too strong for him, and cursed him, taking away his former power. He then joins up with the Resistance, seeking revenge on the Black Mage and training to recover his former strength. The class shares several traits with previous classes, such as Aran's use of the basic attack button, and the same skill looking similar to the Battle Mage's Triple Blow skill. Unlike most other classes, they do not gain a mount, but can instead fly using their wings upon reaching a certain level. They've been criticized for being overpowered at release (sound familiar?) and are undergoing rebalancing.

Phantom is the Thief Legend. He became a hero because his loved one the former Empress of Ereve, Aria, died. During the battle of the Black Mage, he too was cursed and was sealed for a few hundred years. In the present day he is already free from his curse and is on his personal airship. His innate ability is to be able to steal any active skills from adventurers and his cane weapon can turn into any weapon for use with the skill.

Phantom is the Thief Legend who originates from the town of Aswan. He became a Hero when his close friend died. Like all the other heroes, he too was [[HumanPopsicle cursed]]. Drives a car as a mount and his HQ is a flying ship. He has the ability to use skills from other classes and his cane can transform into any weapon.

* AnIcePerson - Learns many ice-based skills.

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy and his Magical Talking Dragon]] Evan and Mir, naturally.
* AnIcePerson Has one skill like this, Ice Breath
* BondCreatures Mir is this, but it's more deep. They actually share a soul.
* CastingAShadow Dark Fog is a combination of this, and ShockAndAwe.
* BreathWeapon Mir has both Ice and Fire Breath.
* ChasteHero He's pretty innocent, although a bit [[DeadpanSnarker Snarky]].
* FireIceLightning He actually does all three!
* GlassCannon Even more so than normal mages. If you don't [[AllegedlyFreeGame buy any skill books]], your mana shield can barely protect you.
* OneGenderRace Played straight and slightly subverted. Like Aran, Evan is usually depicted as Male, although there exists official art of both genders. It doesn't help that Evan is a boy's name.
* PlayingWithFire Most of Evan's offensive skills utilize fire.
* ThePowerOfLove / PowerOfTrust Part of what gives Evan and Mir their power.
* TheRedMage Has mostly offensive magic, but has a few odd support skills that can be potentially [[GameBreaker Game Breaking]]. Soul Stone and Recovery Aurora in particular. Unlike some red mages, he has no health restoring skills.
* ShockAndAwe Not to the degree of an Ice/Lightning Wizard, but still has a skill.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS Not Evan, but Freud/Freed counts.

Please refrain from posting personality-related tropes until Mercedes is released in GMS, as that is what this page goes by, unless it was made clear in KMS.

Mercedes is the Archer Legend, who wields [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon Dual Bowguns]]. She is an Elf from a village near Ellina who was frozen by the Black Mage's curse when she tried to protect her village. So far her class is a bit overpowered, but she has been undergoing rebalancing in KMS to adjust those problems.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon / ImprobableWeaponUser - Dual Bowguns. Seriously?!

* MoreDakka She manages to pull this off with crossbows. Her magic arrows do help though.

* CastingAShadow Many of their skills have dark appearances, and Dark Genesis is an outright dark version of the Bishops ultimate skill, though ironically, none of their attacks actually carry the rare, Evan only dark element. This overlaps with DarkIsNotEvil.

* DropTheHammer: A 2nd advancement ability involves slamming a giant mallet.

This is the list of playable character classes, notable mobs, and notable NPCs. It's worth noting that these tropes to not apply to the people who play these character, they apply to the skills, storyline, and in the case of the Legends and other characters with a specific backstory, their personality as written by the game.

* HeelFaceTurn: According to this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9cDBYSh97U video]], [[spoiler:Phantom teamed up with the others after Aria was poisoned at a meeting with a Black Mage commander.]]

->"From very early on Brawlers have high damage which is anchored by the fact that they're a melee class so they are limited to hitting up close, similar to Warriors. However, as they progress, Marauders in 3rd job and Buccaneers in 4th job get more range with attacks such as Shockwave, Energy Orb and Snatch. This job is able to do incredibly high damage with cool looking skills such as Super Transformation and Dragon Strike amongst others.'''

* WaveMotionGun: Buccaneers/Vipers get a skill like this in their latest revamp.

* SuperMode - Gain a transformed state in the third job and an improved version in the fourth.

* EvilIsSexy:

The defacto leader of the Black Wings and also a commander of the Black Mage. Has a sister named Lotus (Su in Korean MapleStory).

The King of the Lion King's Castle. Was once a good king until the Black Mage came along and invaded his castle.

* Familiar: A Snake

Demon Slayers are the third and final class released in the recent Legend patch in KMS. They serve as the Warrior class for the Resistance, although they share more in common with Legend classes storyline wise than the Resistance. You see, the Demon Slayer was once one of the [[BigBad Black Mage's]] most powerful warriors, until the Black Wings destroyed his hometown and killed his family. He attempted to fight the Black Mage, seeking revenge, but the Black Mage was too strong for him, and cursed him, taking away his former power. He then joins up with the Resistance, seeking revenge on the Black Mage and training to recover his former strength.

* HalfHumanHybrid: His father is a Demon, while his mom is a regular Human.
* HeelFaceTurn: Betrayed his superior the Black Mage when the commanders burned down all of Leafre and the southern region including his home where his mom and brother Damian lived.

* CastFromHitPoints Many skills in the Demon Slayer's arsenal use this stat. Otherwise, they use his Demon Force.
* DarkIsNotEvil Dark in nature and attacks, but really a kind person who cares for his family.

* NiceBoat: His Airship
