Consular, Guardian or Sentinel?

I think I would fall mostly under Sentinel, with a dash of Consular in the form of a lorekeeper/seer.

The following copyrighted paragraphs are from a therapeutic activity that I developed when I was a practicing psychotherapist entitled: The Archetype Council. Twenty-four archetypes compose an advisory council in a role play scenario designed to assist the client/patient in decision-making. One of the archetypes is the guardian (protector, warrior).

The guardian’s primary task is to defend, for she or he is neither assassin or mercenary, but rather protector. Warriors are guardians par excellence. The true warrior seeks not the battle to fulfill their destiny, but is vigilant and prepared when the battle inevitably arrives.

This archetype needs to identify what needs protection, for preparedness is the essence of the warrior. The guardian is prepared and ready for defense when conflict comes. This councilor advises readiness. Readiness requires remaining alert without debilitating preoccupation or obsession. It is madness to see enemies everywhere and to live in a constant state of fearful preparedness. The guardian is most vigilant when on duty.

There are a variety of questions that I would pose to my client/patient, for example, in what ways can preparedness be enhanced?

Thought for consideration: the warrior is prepared in the midst of life lived as usual. The presence of other guardians to share the burdens makes the warrior’s life a fellowship. Burden sharing makes the warrior effective, for no one can be expert in all forms of defense, or can be both watcher and worker. Some warriors are solitary figures, but most often, they are part of a larger group. Often they are part of a team, with strong camaraderie, especially if they have experienced battle together. Sometimes they assemble only when called, and a particular threat has been identified.

Knowledge of one’s own weaknesses/vulnerabilities enhances the appreciation of where an attack might be most successful make this councilor's self-honesty a remarkably strong attribute. Weakness and fear are inevitably part of the warrior’s life, and they seek not to ignore them, but to learn to live with them, and overcome them through practice and discipline. When the battle begins they are ready - performing each task automatically as practiced, until the enemy is defeated or they are dead.

Identify weaknesses and devise a plan to minimize them: The tools of the guardian’s trade can have either an everyday purpose, like the walking stick which becomes the pike; or can have a dual purpose, like the bow which can be used for hunting or for battle; or can have a single purpose dedicated to fighting, like the sword. Singleness of purpose makes some tools weapons and nothing else. So it is with the warrior, she or he can remain solitary or can be combined with other councilors.

Well, i guess since this is a thread of what you would be is meant to be fictional
That may be the reason

The biggest problem I see with most people taking a portion fiction to realism is that they do not consider the Whole history and ideals of the fiction. They just take a part of it and say "It doesn't work."

When you go to collage and get a Masters Dagree in a specific Medical field, or bussiness type....that does not mean you don't know how to do anything else. It simply means that you went to school and got a Masterd Dagree in a specific field of study - probubly because you hope to one day work in that field and make a profession out of it. You can still do plumbing, you can still take your dog out for a walk, you can still flip burgers at Mac Donalds, you can still raise children and do everything else that is required and if you can't....you can learn it.

The Fictional Professions of Consular, Guardian or Sentinel are no different.

Jedi who aspire to one profession are not brain dead to all the other aspects....In fact, they are quite capable of filling any role required of them because as Initiates and Apprentices they learned a little of everything. A Knight Still knew how to heal, just as a Healer could weild a saber as good as any knight. Even the Librarian wielded a lightsaber like a boss.

The professions were meerly an indication of one Jedi's greater interest and talent. Jedi Cilghal for example was a Jedi Mon Calimari. She was one of Luke Skywalkers Apprentices and faught alongside him and her fellow Jedi. But during her Journey she discovered that she loved and aspired greatly in the arts of healing. So, she became a Jedi Healer. She could still do what every other Jedi could and had a fierce protective nature when she was pushed to display more than just healing. She just chose to serve the Order as a healer.

So. With all of that in mind and sticking close to the fiction representations of these professions

I believe I would serve best as a Jedi Historian (A branch of Consular)

If the fictional Jedi classes were real in today's world and I were to choose a branch. I feel that I would lean towards Consular. Most of my work deals with helping others and using my mind. Never been one of confrontation and violence so Consular would be my role. However I do crave the idea of being a guardian and kicking butt
