Thief
"It's a little tight, but the price was right."
In any world where some people have more than others, you'll find thieves. Sneaky, clever, and cautious, they bring a scoundrel's knowledge to an adventure, with a knack for being one step ahead of every dirty trick the villain might decide on. Whether they rob enemy clans, kidnap princesses, prey on Imperial soldiers, or cruise the airways as a legendary Sky Pirate, there's no limit to the scheme a Thief might cook up.
The Thief is a job that supports the party by taking what belongs to others and providing them to the party. As the party presumably uses these things to save the world, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. As they advance in expertise, they learn a variety of abilities to let them spread havoc in the enemy ranks, like buying time with a quick distraction and a shout of "What's that over there!" or tricking the enemy into thinking their big tough knight just hit them in the head. Their quick reflexes and inherent speed make them deadly with lighter weapons.

Thievery
Annoy
Ability Slot Cost: 3
Type: Action
Technique, Status
Target: Single
40D F15 MP: 60
Annoy functions as if it were a status with a duration of (4). The Thief may only have a single Annoy status active any given time - a second use of Annoy will remove the duration of the status on the previous target instantly. When an enemy is suffered from Annoy, anytime the thief is hit for damage by an ability, the enemy in question receives 1/2 of the total damage taken as well, which ignores any situational modifiers, elemental defenses, defense modifiers, armor or m.armor or any other sort of defensive property.

Adjustment: +20 MP per tier above 1.
Aura Steal
Ability Slot Cost: 4
Type: Action
Technique, Effect: Dispel, Steal.
Target: Single
50D F20 MP: 105
The Thief snatches at the magic surrounding an opponent, transferring all positive statuses affecting them to himself. That is, Aura Steal dispels all positive statuses affecting the opponent, and the Thief then gains each status dispelled in this way, with the same timer. If Aura Steal strikes a target currently benefiting from an Auto-Status property, the Thief gains that status (U) and inflicts "Seal Auto-Status" (U) to the monster. The same effect occurs against targets with SoS-Statuses, as long as they are currently in SoS condition.
