I actually did do a fair bit of research about smithing techniques and armor manufacture when I thought up Steel, just in case I was pressed in to further details during RP.
It all was for nothing, as she's yet to really be tested in that avenue, and most of her RP has been about her combat abilities and gaining power, which is more a narrative thing than something that can be researched.
Still made for interesting reading though....
As for my real-world skills...well, being a call center cubicle monkey isn't exactly something one can interject in a world of adventure, though I have found my customer service skills bleed in to when I do waitressing stuff with Cliaux.
