How do i get over this?
Hey guys I have a very slight form of Obssessive Compulsive disorder. (I mean literal, OCD, not being a neat freak.)
TBH it's not a big deal at all, like whatsoever, but i have trouble playing classes that are "named" I guess. Like the heroes, kaiser, angelic buster, etc. (Quest-dialogue alternating between my character's actual name and the hero's name like Luminous for example, actually stresses me out) Resistance, Cygnus Knights, and Explorers give me no trouble.
It just takes me out of the game, it frustrates me, nothing too major but it makes playing some of these classes aggravating even if I love the playstyle.
For some I've come up with backstories to help me get over it:
Zero- since they can manipulate time and space there can be multiple of them from alternate universes and stuff, etc, with different nicknames story-wise
Demon Avenger/Slayer- the character himself is not named (i don't think?) and since the class branches there are just some demons running around helping out the maple world, and mine just has the dramatic backstory
Kaiser- Kaiser has a lineage (i think?). It's been a while since I've played mine, so I'm not sure if there can be more than one at a time, but I know it's not a specific character that's continuously existed. (Besides the "Kyle" name)
Xenon- there can be multiple models.
The main classes I am having trouble with are namely the Heroes.
Mainly my Luminous right now.
Could any of you guys help me come up with some mental gymnastics to ease my pain? I know it seems really stupid and pointless i would just like some help to make it easier. Thank you so much.

Maybe your Luminous could be an ordinary mage who became obsessed with researching and manipulating the Black Mage's dark magic. Except that dark magic has a corrupting influence and eats away at the minds of those who wield it. Your character could be experiencing grandiose delusions as a side effect of using dark powers (i.e. believing he is one of the few heroes of Maple World who will save everyone with his powers).
Try out an explorer.
