I’m going under the idea that guards are a different hierarchy than the knights, as in medieval times they often were. The GM would have to elaborate or correct us on this. But yeah, like I said I’m sorry if I sound pissy but I just came back from D&D to a “by the way your character archetype you have had since the start of the RP is also held by this new person”. This is nothing against you personally, but you have to see how I could be moderately upset by such a thing. We obviously built different characters (mine is more defense, yours is more attack) and I am sure we'll get beyond this and have fun in due time.

But I'm still gonna be buttmad for a few hours when I think it is unfair and not fonz cool.

I basically feel like I adjusted my character for this and my role isn't important anymore.
