Other Classes: Every being has its role, so a gokiburi paragon would say. It does not mean a person is worthless, sometimes such roles are vital, but as a gokiburi paragon often views its role as a leader of sorts, it may run into conflict when there are other leaders in the group.

Combat: Gokiburi paragons are usually part of another class, and that class defines their choices in combat.

Advancement: Gokiburi paragons are usually part of another class, and their advancement varies upon it.

Gokiburi Paragons in the World
"This territory is gokiburi's now, leave this place."

Daily Life: When the gokiburis landed on the planet, it was the paragons with their telepathy that first forged the bonds of communication. As such to be a paragon is to be a person of importance and great use.

Notables: The original leader from the crashed survivors was a gokiburi paragon named Hame'dao the First. He is hailed as a great leader and hero of his time.

Organizations: gokiburi assemble in a series of growing clans, starting with the immediate family, the extended family, the "neighborhood" referred to as a House, and finally a colony, the equivalent of a nation or state. Those from the outside of the colony are viewed with suspicion, until proper trust can be gained. Afterwords a welcomed stranger is often forevermore welcome.

NPC Reactions: Gokiburi paragons are to the eyes of humans strange leaders to a strange people, and they grow wary knowing that the opinion of the paragon may sway the opinion of the colony.
