Question for All Orgs: What are some professions/occupations?
Hello everyone,
I'm currently looking into what various professions/occupations/social classes may be found in each org. For example, I have for Magnagora:
pariah
noble
scientist
painter/sculptor
priestess
lamplighter
soldier
merchant
beggar/urchin
But other orgs I'm still not too familiar with or struggling to come up with choices, so I'm enlisting everyone now for your help. I will still take suggestions for Mag as well, there could be something I missed! Please, if possible, include a small description of what the occupation is if the meaning is not inherently clear.
Also, just listing the in-game player trades and classes doesn't really work for me. I'm looking for that Goldilocks sweet spot where an occupation is unique but not overly specific. For example - "priestess" would be okay, but not "Priestess of the Bloody Talon."
Thanks for any help in advance!

You could say that the Masters of the Temple are sages in their own right, but sagacity is subjective. My IC opinion is that they just really like mad-libs and cactus weedLief said:Could sage work for Gaudiguch as well, along those themes of Enlightenment?
Edit: Oh, the dracnari dreamers are most definitely sages. While the Masters fulfill the role of leading meditations and enlightening pursuits, the dreamers are the ones with...well, the dreams, with which we fuel the Drachou and spur on revelation. Big sage energy!

Glomdoring doesn't really have roles or duties the same way other orgs do, in my experience, but I'd say similar to Lief's Serenwilde list, with obvious aesthetic differences. I'd also add sentinel or guardian (Thornwatch), warrior, healer, diviner, ritualist, or mystic (last two are actual npcs).
Some more generic roles might include shopkeep, cook (or any variation; baker, etc), artisan (as the actual skill or something more specific like a potter or glassblower), painter, actor, director, writer, poet, playwright, dancer (exotic and not), teacher or professor, inventor, medic or doctor, scribe, tailor, blacksmith, storyteller, or florist.
Some more exotic roles might be lamp-lighter (or torch-lighter or similar), bloodletter, or jester/fool.

Every org has ministers, but the word minister itself seems Hallifaxian more than it does any other org. Maybe it's the 1984 ministries guiding that association for me though

Re: Question for All Orgs: What are some professions/occupations?
Gaudiguch has labourers around all the time lately, like the ones that built our library extension and are currently, supposedly, patching up our roads. We have initiates of meditation whose job it is to...well, meditate, seek enlightenment and get up to bratty hijinks along the way. The Palace of course is fully staffed with courtesans who cover the broad strokes of entertainment: music, dance, escort, wine and dine, everything a casino and pleasure den needs. The Eyrie Roost is a hangout for common stablehands as well as beastmasters, whose craft was passed down by the dwellers on Zoaka. Assumedly there are fleshcrafters who tend to the Menagerie, and "scientists" (also fleshcrafters) that work in the Laboratory of Mu. The bazaar is also packed full with merchants, hawkers and likely fencers.

Dang. That's giving me some Dream of the Endless vibesGurashi said:@Tylwyth was asking about Mysrai's latest form, The Scarlet Courtesan:Surrounded with an aura of comfortable heat and passionate ecstasy, His sublime visage is far more potent than any mortal should bear; making it clear that He is a radiant immortal. A face that is filled with arrogant angles, lent easily to smirking, and void-black, lidless eyes that are given to sparkling with swiftly-changing constellations give Him the appearance of a sly, attractive youth. Appearing as a wire-muscled adolescent, stained a coppery brown by the sun, His limbs hold in orbit about them a constant flow of poppy blossoms both shredded and whole. His hair is an attractive, feathered mess atop His head, tousled and streaked with shimmering powders of copper and scarlet sparks that shimmer and pop in barely-restrained energies. Dark, rubescent powders mix with ivory beneath His eyes, along His neck, and across His collarbones, displaying incomprehensible hieroglyphs that curl upon themselves in puzzling suggestions of barely manifested realities.He is wearing:a three-layered tunic of bright ivory that has been pulled low over His chest;a cropped pair of deep grey trousers that hang low on His hips in a provocative manner;a burgundy belt of leather cinched loose and carefree;a hooded coat of striking rainbow hues hung loose around His biceps.
