[peacefulwinter]

I play Winter here at StE; while she's not the archetype you're looking at, I think Jude will have a fairly easy time with finding ways to get into plot, even combat-heavy plots. The healers we presently have near to hand do their jobs well, but generally don't get anywhere too near the front lines. Jude is a unique exception here - he's conveniently tanky enough to survive a couple of hits, and he can generally do what he wants. I don't think he'd want to actually be the person leading the charge - we've got Gundams, magical girls, and Touhou characters for that, among others that aren't coming off the top of my CR head - but he'd be comfortable being able to deploy onto the battlefield where his abilities are most immediately useful.

That said, there are a lot of ways to get into plot without necessarily having to wait for big stuff - Jude is unique in that he can fill a multitude of roles well, and once his reincarnation has even a portion of that back, he'd be versatile enough to do a lot of things around Locke City. You can use your reincarnation's history to your advantage here; if there's a role you want to fill, start with a reincarnation that can at least do it a little bit, and then you can chart out the Echoes you want to get so you have an idea of where you're going. Having a plan is crucial; taking stuff randomly leads to a character that feels all over the place. But if you know where you want to go, you can work out what you want to have, and that gives you the power to fit into a role and have a strong presence in the game.

A good AU can even form that presence before you get a whole lot of Echoes back. If you have a personality that attracts people of any particular kind - or a starting role that gives you non-network access to a number of characters - it gives you a way into plot, and once you start to get back powers that manifest in any visible way, everything starts to snowball together, and you'll have a very real way to interact with the plot. That's what I've found, at least. My initial vision for Winter with the direction of her Echoes was... not as clear as I'd have liked, but because she had access to a number of characters and could leverage that in a very real way, she was still able to connect with the plot even when she had no powers except for a talking plush toy - in fact, she didn't have anything except memories and that plush toy for four months, but I've never really wanted for things to do.

...That's my experience, and sorry it's so terribly long, but hopefully it helps a little.
