Many of you complained in the "What class are you" poll that there are other classes, and others said something about professions. So, I ask what is your common Profession. What do you do IG as RP?

Do you wander about, are you a crafter, are you a caster, a beggar? What do you do, not just, What is your class?"

Actually, my main character is both a magic-wielder -and- a politician. Maybe that's the worst kind of them. *chuckles*

I'm going with Other. On the MUSH I usually play on, I've got a char who's an ex-doctor and a char who's a scientist. Which more or less fits under 'other', from what I can tell.

Um...

Paladin, Magic-user, etc.

those are not professions, they are classes. Court Jester or something could be the profession FOR a magic-user, or historian or something, but Magic-User is the class, as in Paladin.

Professions are armorer, weaponsmith, cobbler, bartender, hunter, etc. etc.

If possible, do the poll over please.

I guess it depends on the game. There aren't any coded "professions" in the game I play, but there are "usual" skillsets and a "custom" skillset people can choose from, and no matter which they pick, they can train in ANY skill offered by the game. Just certain skills will cost more than others, depending on the set they choose.

My character is a mage. That is her profession and her avocation. She harnesses the power of darkness to destroy her enemies and heal her comrades. It is how she earns her keep, and Necromancy is the specific type of magic she uses. "Necromancer" would be another fitting "profession" name, but she personally prefers the term Mage, because she is also learning a bit of Sorcery, which is a totally different realm of magic.

I must say im the *itch Witch of the dark. I live to break hearts and eat souls. I seduce, pillage and rampage.

I am Succubus..Hear me Roar

I'm definatly a multi, I'm a destined god (well belive I am), a psychologist, a hyptnotist, leader of a clan, healer, I'm also completely out of my mind but that isn't really a proffesion, I'm also currently being hunted by Feyona, again not really a proffesion, I also tend to get married a lot, again not a proffesion, but I think multi was still a good vote for me

Most definatly the power mad Cleric/philospher hipocrit. I love to talk trash, get in fights and then heal myself... Although the rogue isn't far off...

I always tend to be a channeler or a warrior. The warrior class is what I perfer for in the MUD I play (based off a series of books), the male channelers are suppose to go mad-like and stuff. Plus, the good people try and take away their magic powers. I always a good guy so I don't like that. Warriors also can have a lot of good roleplay if you do some stuff in certain guilds, etc. RP is what I like most about MUDs, so I pick the best possible ways for that. Warrior.

Santrilla · 09-18-2002, 03:16 PM

Magic user. Though RP isn't much of a focus, if I did RP as a magic user, I'd rather be a free adventurer than a shopkeeper or guard. Vive la Chaotic Neutral!

I play a mage, but I am not a politican. I am a Chancellor. It sounds a great deal better and you get more respect.

LordKiev · 10-09-2002, 04:33 PM

My vote will be weird, but I play a few different types:

A military grunt with aspirations of leadership
An idealistic entertainer
(Dead characters)
A female wizard with a skewed perspective and a fetish for enslaving
