Luminary

The Luminary (or Superstar in fan translations) is a class in the Dragon Quest series.

Dragon Quest VI

Luminaries have a great deal of Style and some unique skills. A character needs skills from both the Dancer and Gadabout sets to become a Luminary. Additionally, a Luminary can randomly charm an enemy for one turn once their rank beings to rise. The formula is: 1 = 1/256, 2 = 1/256, 3 = 1/64, 4 = 1/64, 5 = 1/48, 6 = 1/48, 7 = 1/32, 8 = 1/16. Contrary to popular belief, Style has no influence on this chance.

Go over to the left side, near the girls' makeup room and talk a girl named Applaudia. She tells you to kill a moai minstrel with the hot lick ability. After doing so, go back and talk to her to unlock the luminary class.
