Of course not!
Well really MapleStory began with the Explorers, then came the Cygnus Knights, then Aran, THEN Evan, and now the Resistance.
Justice, Resistance, Demon Slayer, Mercedes, and Canon Shooter(Canoneer).
The first hero is Aran. Then came Evan and the limited edition Mercedes. Next, coming soon, is Phantom.
Those two classes have always been available in Global Maplestory. However, Nexon restricted the Legends class (mercedes, kana, kaiser, luminous, etc).
You don't "become" an Aran. You make a new character and choose the Aran class.
You don't, you should restart your char and do it with the tut expecially for aran/evan classes the tuts help you level allot
You have to be a level 50 Aran.

It depends. For cygnus knights the NPC is kiku. For explorers the NPC is Heena. For Aran its Lilin. And for Evan, well... I think its a dragon.

You have to pay for it. There is no possible way of getting it without paying unless you hack and that'll be illegal.
