General
Paragon is a word which is used to describe anything which is a model of excellence, representing an unequalled ideal of its kind.

Images of the Paragon show that they have been given an angelic appearance with white and gold armor. Their armor is reported to often have wings etched into the back. They wield spears, which are ranged weapons, as well as using shields, which are tied to the Command and Motivation attributes.

The Paragon is a ranged support character,who buffs teammates and helps them combat conditions, while throwing spears at range. The Paragon may use shouts and chants to buff their teammates.
