In Octopath Traveler, each character is assigned a certain job: Cleric, Scholar, Merchant, Warrior, Dancer, Apothecary, Thief, or Hunter. At some point in the game though, the player finds out the characters can take up another job, holding two at a time. These secondary jobs are unlocked through shrines.
