[Balmung] Taking a census - Arashin Kujqai - 05-24-2017
(This got posted/rushed, so if the options are weird or it's missing an obvious one like merchant etc, I'm sorry, it posted before I finished writing the polls and I rushed it ~.~)
What do you consider your RP character in terms of profession or cultural standing? I'm kinda curious of the diversity around Balmung's types of characters. I'd also like to clarify just a couple things below.
1. If you have more than one character you RP with, list your main one or the one you use the most.
2. I've included some pretty common concepts but if you don't fit in anywhere and you vote other, please list what other below. At the same time... If you're still around the area of one of the types listed, please just contribute to that than making it other. (ex. I'm not a medic or anything but I do use healing magic, or I'm not an adventurer but I am a demon in a regular body exploring the world etc). Feel free to ask if you're uncertain of your vote.
3. This is more optional but I'm still curious, if you vote, could you list where you typically leave your character hanging around? Or is there even a single spot etc you go around? I know quicksand is quite common but I know some hang in specific mountain sides in thanalan or perhaps their own homes in residential districts, I'm just quite curious of the common place an individual would be around typically.

There.. doesn't seem to be a poll on this if you had intended on one.
At least not on my end.
i wait. i wait patiently.
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Arashin Kujqai - 05-24-2017
Sorry I'm still making it, I thought it would've left me in preview mode until I actually finished ~.~;.. covering more choices... be about 10 mins lmao.
Added, I feel like I missed some choices but I generally wanted to keep some of the results within the same category. Being as someone that is a fighter that goes out in the world to beat up stuff or being an adventurer who does the same but only more defensively would still be around the same spot... Etc. Basically if they're relatively close to the idea even if not quite, vote in that realm XD. Like a librarian would fit under scholar and etc, or a dragoon under adventurer (knight if you standby guarding or protecting someone of royal descent or something I suppose, think of the maelstrom officers and etc).
Any who, my vote's for scholar area since my char studies most if not all forms of magic more commonly than he goes out adventuring/exploring. If anything his studies are the result of the adventuring he does, all int he pursuit of knowledge and betterment of Eorzea. Plain and simply put.... if I wa sjust a mage for the sake of being good at aether and loving to explore, I'd put the first but yeah e.e;... Sorry again if this isn't too well done. Feel free to ask for clarity too if you're uncertain.... My friend helpe dme just now realize I could've included Gambler and etc with treasure hunter as a main thing but.. welp, yeah.. too late >~>; ty forum for posting this early lol.

I didn't see mercanary, or hired gun. Didn't figure it fit under Adventurer or Bounty hunter really. Â So other I guess.

Â So other I guess.Wouldn't that count as a hunter/bounty hunter since you're doing a job for someone? That's why I also put etc too XD kinda covers the general area of players who would hunt another for any reason or another.

I'm not really sure where "part of government-sanctioned vigilante organisation" would fit into it? There's lots of stuff he does (including "fisher" and "adventurer"), but that's his career. If there'd been a "part of military forces" option I'd've picked that, but there wasn't.
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Lihli - 05-24-2017
Some of these just seem to be weirdly lumped. Like Waiter/Waitress with Establishment Owner.
Regardless, I put Other anyways. Lihli is a priestess besides running an organization. As well as a botanist and alchemist-- but she's not a gatherer so it didn't fit under there. And I didn't feel comfortable putting her in with the same vote as a waitress. So Other she goes!

Seems more specific to stopping crime than of officer/royal guard or anything like that. I'd say officers under the grand copmanies would fall under guard and etc royalty but yours still seems more specific

I was overall trying to lump together main career/profession types. Like if you serve in a fine dining establishment, or you work as a tavern server, or own it, or just serve drinks. If she's a priestess first and foremost, I'd say healer/etc but if she owns like a store, bar, or cafe.. I'd say establishment owner.

I wish it didn't post it so fast, I could've taken my time more >_>;

I mean, uh, I'd vote, but seeming Ave's a religious punch warpriestess, I'm not sure where to fit her in!

EDIT: also happy to see there's more scholarly types than I first thought... would love to know where you all hang out. While I may be not subbed atm Valic usually is at the thaumaturge guild at the moment since it's the only decent library we have that isn't in a residential district lol. May be subject to change if they give us any nice libraries or literature filled areas in SB.
EDIT2: Lot of "other" but no one specifying except maybe 3....
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Solenne - 05-25-2017
Solenne is an intelligence specialist, freedom fighter, healer, accountant, and venture capitalist. If "shrewd business woman with a savior complex" had been an option, that probably would have fit her best.
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Nebbs - 05-25-2017
I can understand why Witch is not on the list but Pirate, that's even a thing in the game
Nebula - Witch/Pirate
Hangouts - Limsa ofc
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Jean L - 05-25-2017
No outlaw-y type options on the list so other.
(it's spy/info broker/thief)
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - Kismet - 05-25-2017
My choice was for a reason that's a lot more simplistic...
I have 4 characters and I don't really consider any of them my "main", so I picked Other to account for all of them. (That and 2 of the 4 are several things on the list.)
RE: [Balmung] Taking a census - lyrax123 - 05-25-2017
While Naomi can be seen as an adventurer, her main 'job' is a free company leader and investigator. And believe me, with the crew she has, free company leader is a full time job.
