Fanmade/Proposed Evan revamp

One of Evans worst and least pointed out issues is that all his extra sp and advancements go to waste because he has WAYY to many attacks that he'll wind up never using. do we NEED 3 attacks in 2nd? what about 5 attacks throughout 3rd job, other classes can make do with 2 attacks and 2-3 respectively. All these attacks clog up our advancements, and important buffs, are pushed into later advancement brackets (Magic Guard isn't even in 1st job bracket, booster isn't in 2nd's, nor is final attack's or rush's, stance's isn't even in 3rd job's bracket)

Another issue is that Evan's max mp was already lower than your average mage, and to add insult to injury, mages' extra mp per 10 int upon level was replaced with a passive increase to mp gain on level from Max MP Increase, which Evan doesn't have, so lets incorporate that into dragon soul.

Another thing, onyx dragons are supposed to be able to control a variety of elements. Yet, they basically only learn/use fire, dark, and physical skills endgame, so lets change that. A late game "advanced" skill that boosts all elemental attacks to be relevant to the meta.

And really, all that fire, and only TWO sources of DoT, only ONE of which is a FIRE skill? And trashy fire dot at that. duration is nice, but effect is too small for that to matter. WTF is 6% ticks supposed to do for us? Lets change that too!

A lot of evans complain that you can't see your dragon's armor or otherwise customize it, and others (such as myself) don't want to see their dragon's armor or have to PAY for transparent dragon armor. This is the best of both worlds!

I don't know a SINGLE evan who doesn't want to attack while mounted, and before you say that that's wild hunter's thing, aran's combo system has been jacked and modified slightly NUMEROUS times (in KMS, you actualy had to rack up [i]combos[/I] to use dragon link skills when Kaiser was first released), shad's chaining system is also used by db's, merc's (albeit nerfed), hayato, and yes, Thunder Breakers. Dark Knights Crossover Chains isnt too different from Demon Avenger's losing damage as he loses health (down to 70%) Trifling Wind and Carte Blanche/Noir are VERY similar I think. Night Walker's "special system" is just a mixture of different characteristics of chain lightning, final attack, and TB's Thunder (sort of)
Dawn Warrior's Sun/Moon things are a similar concept to equilibrium. Zero's Time Force is basically Kanna's Mana on steroids. And Beast Tamer's four animals isn't that different from Zero's two skill trees. Zero's tagging is a bit like Dawn Warrior's Equinox Cycle

I want a summoned onyx dragon that follows you around, with a constant uptime and [I]other[/I] evans want a summon that is affected by our numerous damage boosts.
The only thing standing in the way of what [I]I[/I] want is the ludicrous amount of status resist it gives.

Now I take away our hypers status resist, give it to the mount while attacking skill (while reducing it), remove its cooldown and increase its duration, make it follow us around, and make it so that it is affected by our boosts. Now, we've got something good

We'll also remove the cost of mounts, so their new usefulness can be restored.

Edit: Evan has a lot of party skills, but none are all that useful
Evan also doesn't really have a unique system that affects gameplay. Well, as the successor to the leader of the heroes, I've thought of an ingenious idea.
The Party Faction Boost system! For every party member buffed by the skill that's in the same faction (in this case, Heroes), it's effect is enhanced!

Miscellaneous changes:
-Evan now gains a 20% multiplier like the adventurer mages.
-Evan's creation has been updated to post-legends-style.
-the Evan Hair and Face are now available upon creation, but the starting clothes are the same. (The hat is in your inventory after finishing the tutorial)
-The tutorial is now a series of cutscenes in the present, interrupted a few times with visions of his past life as Freud, first one where you fight corrupted Netheworld Monks in the Dark Temple of Time at level 200 (with Mercedes as an "ally mob" like with hoblin pq or adventurer's first mount quest [the part with the pheromones/docs dr which]), 2nd cutscene shows him at the door to the BM's throne room, fighting off Dark Lyka and then Arkarium (again alongside Mercedes), which ends as they're about to enter the gate, third vision is an animated video that begins where mercedes' left off, Merc gets KO'd by the attack that she was standing against, and Freud and Afrien protect her as best they can, but ultimately are knocked unconscious. You exit the tutorial at level 10.
-His storyline has been overhauled, like the Cygnus and Adventurers before him; with new graphical effects and mini-content (such as battleground sequences), and a new plot (except that the first 70 levels of the story are the same more or less, just with updated special effects and such, but will be extended beyond that, and will feature appearances from other heroes)
-The meso requirements of the mount quests have been removed. Kenta is now willing to do it simply for the joy of doing something that's never been done
-Mir's received a makeover! He and most of his skills have been brought up-to-date graphically, and dragon equipment now show up on Mir, and you can uncheck a box in the Dragon Tab of the Equip window to make them invisible.
EDIT: - Evan's skills now have voice acting! Evan is special because he has two Voice Actors, one for Evan, and one for Mir! Certain skills have multiple voiceovers, and at least one will be Evan speaking, and the other is Mir's voice! And, Mir's voice changes! Depending on his stage of growth, his voice will be different. His voice is squeaky in first growth sounds like a two-year old, in second growth, sounds like a four-year old, in third/fourth growth, sounds like an 8-year old, 5th/6th growth sounds around 12 years old 7th/8th sounds like a 16 year old, 9th/10th sounds 20.
-There are now more level tiers of dragon equipment.
Level 10: Baby Dragon equipment (In first growth, you can only equip dragon hats, so the Egg Shell is the only piece in this set, which you start off with)
(level 20: Silver Dragon Equipment)

(ex, goku going Super Saiyan and then the other Z-Fighters going super saiyan/releasing their ki in synch about a second later when a huge threat looms on the horizon)
