Well, of those three, I'd say the sword swallower. I just read your fursona description again, and you are very focused on his weapons and fighting style. So I'd find the more down to earth and mundane occupations to be somewhat off and uncharacteristic choices for someone like him. I'm not usually a fan of the bodyguard/mercenary/warrior professions, but those are the ones I'd say your fursona makes me think of and associate with him. As such I'd say the sword swallower, as it includes weapons and a risk of possibly fatal injury to the performer. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

I'd recommend the pianist myself. Prostitution may be the mainstay of the town, bust foxonian can vouch for there are those who appreciate the finer arts. _________________ My Fursona(updates occasionally) http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7537

given you seem to be on one side or the other of the pie flinging i would call that war profiteering to supply weapons to both sides and still fight for one you could call your profession a pastry-monger _________________ wondering where the jackal came from: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7940 updates here or there

Because if I recall correctly, the obsession with specialization that characterizes modern medicine and science has barely begun in this time period, particularly in medicine. Of course, the base nature of surgery means that the old practice of it being delegated to a barber may still be around, but I don't think that's hygienic. |
Ah. My apologies, liebling Camarilla. I was confused by both your picture in the Four Aces suite, which listed your occupation as that of a biochemist, and my recollection of you refering to yourself as a "druggist" which I thought to be something akin to a British "chemist". That information contrasted with your more recent answers to Symphony's questions concerning ones views on ladies of negotiable affection. The resulting differences were more than my tired old brain could muddle out. Thank you, nett Doktor.
Also, something I must have missed before. Bravo, Ms. Santato, on the allusion to Marie Curie in Kommy's portrait.

I could have sworn someone had already expressed an interest in this profession but, again, I could be mistaken. If not, then it certainly is a capital idea. _________________ I like old jokes. With them I know when to laugh.

Yes, I seem to be the cause of a fair amount of confusion... So I just winged it and decided to just do a bit of everything. Be a true Renaissance Vixen. Easier that way.
But what Marie Curie do you speak of, Xebulon? I didn't see a picture of her in the artwork. It's been driving me a little mad looking for it. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA! I HAVE NO IDEA!"

Confusion, and more than one moral crisis I'll warrant.
As to Madam Curie, I meant to say "the allusion to...". Other than an attractive female scientist, the glowing blue vial in your hand is to what I was refering. Marie Curie used a vial of radium as a nightlight, so I'm told, because she liked the pretty blue-green light it gives off in the dark. I know that's not what you're holding in that image, but that is of what it made me think. _________________ I like old jokes. With them I know when to laugh. |

((Rune, what about something like a Telegraph Operator? Surely someone has got to want to send messages to their loved ones. I mean, BonBon seems to have more Pinkertons than Kansas City. But a Telegraph Operator... or maybe just a Postman or something.)) |

Hmmm, since my character does run a post office (Hence the term: Post Master/Linguist), it is not impossible for him to make arranged messages from one place to another using such a device. I should figure that into my character's background. Thank you miss Caroline for helping me further the development of my character. _________________

I dunno about relentless, but my sense of adventure may carry me over the high seas, but it doesn't extend to glowing liquids that should be treated with more care than gunpowder. |

oh dont get me wrong im all for fun and adventure, even involving viscous liquids and high seas and lots of gun powder its just safer to go on a big blood and gore filled killing spree than sleeping next to a vial of highly radioactive liquid _________________ wondering where the jackal came from: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7940 updates here or there
