You Make the Mob, S01E03: Occupation

edited April 2018 in Games and Contests
As outlined in the beginning of this project -- http://forums.starmourn.com/discussion/156/you-make-the-mob-s01e01-pilot -- we are collaboratively creating an NPC to settle somewhere in Starmourn. So far we have voted on a bookish Amaian scholar - but that's just who she is, not necessarily what she does! So now we are selecting her occupation!

Next up we'll work on her personality... likes & dislikes, a vice or "fatal flaw," a catch phrase... we'll start with likes, so add some suggestions in the comments!

Comments

  • Possible likes! Antiquated Technology, showy Cybernetics, causing trouble/pranks (maybe why she lost her job if that wins. esp. considering racial tendencies)
  • Likes:
    Ry'nari "music"
    Paper books vs. electronic
    The color purple
    Ancient earth memes

  • She's a zhubeast wrangler, but she really doesn't like zhu meat. Her fellow wranglers think she's nuts. Nuts, well she does like nuts. Nuts are her favorite. She likes to snack on [insert interesting alien word] nuts while she's doing research. Research? Yes, she likes to research, in her off hours, when the other wranglers are in the mess hall joking around and quaffing lapteth, she likes to sit in her little corner and read about the history and culture of other worlds.

    Sorry, maybe I got a little carried away. :pleased: 

    Likes:
    Nuts
    History and sociology, how historical events have impacted culture, and how culture has shaped historical events
    Is introverted, likes peace and quiet, prefers the company of one person to many


    Dislikes:
    zhu meat

    Likes:
    • Taking things apart (which she is absolutely terrible at putting back together again, despite her insistence otherwise.)
    • Drugs and alcohol. Lots and lots of drugs and alcohol. (She's usually on something or other, drinking to dull the pain of other people's stupidity and dropping space-acid for scholarly inspiration.)

    Dislikes:
    • Hugs. And germs. Keep your dirty paws off of her.
    • People in general. (She finds most people annoying, stupid and myopic, since they're incapable of comprehending her vast genius or appreciating her scholarly pursuits.)
    • Anyone who isn't Amaian, particularly if they function best on dry land and/or can't swim. (She's racist.)
    • 'The Establishment.' Which includes all cities, religions, player orgs, economic systems, forms of employment, her boss if she has one, etc. She's a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
