Thief

The defining characteristics of the thief are its green rag-tag clothing and the ability to steal items from the enemy, which usually has a useless success rate. However, there is typically an item in the game, usually called the "Thief Glove" to change some ability related to the Thief. Steal also usually gives way to "Mug" later in the game, where the job can both attack and steal at the same time. They typically equip knives or short swords and thrive on living in the shadows. Their agility/speed allows them to escape from battles easier.
