The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
That's not quite what I was thinking of, either, though there's a good deal of overlap, most likely. Let me try to be more specific; in a game where characters, vehicles, or some other things are sorted into "tiers" or "classes," there's a character or vehicle that is the only one that belongs to one class. Alternatively, in a game with a Job System, there could be a class only one particular character has access to (i.e. everybody can be a knight, but only Andy can be a Black Mage.)
"I used to long for time alone, I used to long for a place of my own..."
That'd be an inherent part of a Job System or Character Class System - one of the common limitations is that characters have to meet certain criteria to qualify for certain classes/jobs. An extreme form of this would be a criteria of "be Andy".
If they're the only character that can qualify for said job, there's a good chance that it's a Mechanically Unusual Class or Mechanically Unusual Fighter- say, only Andy can qualify for the Black Mage class which focuses entirely on damaging magic in contrast to other casters in the game.

Do we have this one? Was wondering if there was a trope for where a character is the only one who can access a certain class or ranking. I've seen it before but I can't think of what trope it belongs to. Mechanically Unusual Fighter doesn't sound quite right, though, as that's not related to character classes.
