Flames is hyper.
Flames can’t sleep.
Flames’ brain is full of silly, random ideas.
So…I put this question to you:
Let’s say an incredibly unlikely and convoluted series of events occur that ends with our Battleborn being thrust, through a tear in space and time, directly onto Earth, in the very near future.
They are forced to abandon all their instruments of combat and destruction and settle down into normal civilian roles, to try to blend in to normal, everyday society.
This means they have to get normal, everyday jobs.
Let’s assume that NOVA and their ship, NOVA, came through with them.
NOVA is able to craft ultra realistic disguises to make the more…unusual looking…of our Battleborn appear like regular humans approximately their same size/shape.
Or maybe they would venture out into the world exactly as they are and take their chances…?
Up to you all and how you decide to play it.
So…what kind of jobs could we see the Battleborns getting?
I’ll start with a few ideas I had:
Rath - bladecrafter, coffin salesman, actor typecast as “Vampire Guy”, classical violin instructor
Alani - lifeguard, swim instructor, Valley Girl bimbo mall clerk, bathing suit model, inept pants tester
El Dragon - Luchador, MMA fighter, Mexican gangster, bullfighter
Oscar MIKE - a 100 percent loyal and committed civil servant; mail man, police officer, court Bailiff, traffic cop, etc
Benedict - male stripper, male prostitute, offensive comedian, B movie actor, porn star, drunk, washed up 80s glam rock band ex-lead singer
Kleese - a CEO or President (position acquired through incredibly shady means) of a huge, powerful, terribly corrupt, multinational, global corporation, incredibly grumpy tenured Professor at some ancient and out of date University
Phoebe - robotics engineer, ballroom dance instructor, fencing instructor
Mellka - edgy comic book store / porn store / headshop clerk, grumpy but hot server, starving author, tattoo artist, Portlandia extra
Reyna - stripper, overly dramatic telenovela actress
Kelvin - portable air conditioning unit
Montana - circus strongman, bodybuilder, weightlifter, personal trainer, cat-sitter
ISIC - evil genius criminal mastermind, Neitzsche-esque philosopher, criminal lawyer (like a lawyer who is also a criminal)
Whiskey - also a male stripper, private military contractor
Beatrix - super creepy nurse / doctor / surgeon
Ambra - Prime Minister of Italy, melodramatic soap opera star, tanning salon owner, professional shirt-tucker-in and fashion consultant
Ghalt - hooker (I couldn’t resist! ️)
Can’t wait to hear you guys’ ideas!
