History

The Aran is referred as a singular hero/heroine existing in the Maple World, this does not mean that only one Aran character can ever be created. This is simply plot significance.

Aran was a hero/heroine of the past who fought for the Maple World against the Black Magician. Just before defeating the Black Magician along with the other heroes of Maple, the Black Magician used a last resort and put a curse on Aran that froze him/her in ice for a century. Thus, he/she forgot their memories and abilities. Aran soon finds out that the Black Magician will come back to the Maple World very soon and is determined to defeat the Black Magician for once and for all.

If you create an Aran, the new character will have a default tan skin. An Aran character starts in a flashback of the Aran's memories, where Aran is level 200 and possesses the legendary polearm, Maha. Aran has to help the people of Ossyria escape to Victoria (This explains what happened before the events at Altair Camp in Elin Forest). Aran awakes to find himself/herself in a tent and goes outside. Upon going outside, the setting resembles the Dragon's Forest in Minar. as everything is ablaze. The refugees are lined up to board the boat that will let them flee from the tyrranical reign of the Black Magician. Helena, who is at the entrance of the boat, checks off the names of the passengers, a family notices a child is missing and the crowd starts to panic. Aran then resolves to find the child and goes back to find him. Being level 200 at the time, the Cornians and Skelegons in Aran's way will be used as tutorial material for introducing the Aran class' Combo Mechanic. After rescuing the child and returning him back to the ship, the Aran tells Helena to leave without him/her and decides to help the other Maple Heroes in the final stand against the Dark Magician.

After Aran is cursed and sealed in ice as mentioned before, your Aran character truly starts when he/she is awakened by Lilin, a girl with a soft voice and long cyan-colored hair. The setting of the Aran's awakening is Rien, A cold climate much like El Nath, the reason for its cold climate amongst warmer places like Victoria would be the expansion of the Black Magician's curse which froze Aran. It is located off the coast of Lith harbor and that is how Rien is reached. Arans are similar to warriors in their close-ranged attack prospect and the equipment they can use. Like a Cygnus Knight, in the selecting character screen there will be a bamboo-themed banner behind the character, identifying it as an Aran.

Example of the Combo System.

To make the Arans even more unique, they have a game mechanic that no other class gets to use: the Combo System. Players are able to increase their combo counter by continuously hitting monsters. As their combo counter increases, so does their damage. The Aran's strongest skills can be utilized by building up the Combo Counter and then utilizing the Combo Counts.
