What Community Role?

Post by Arnaya »

Out of curiosity, and honestly... what community role do you see your characters as filling within the City of Underlight? Are they one the shop keepers, or maybe a vagrant sleeping under a bridge... a hired gun/vigilante maybe? A religious leader, or a rightous crusader out to clean up the riff raff? Any other role that a city has?

These are some of the ones I see:

- Arnaya: Local history buff/activist. Volinteer with the city guard
- Thunderman: Frustrated Guard Captain
- Bladeslayer: Religious leader, half corrupted zealot
- Zsa Zsa: Traumatized Social worker
- Jade: Tired undercover Narc officer with a troubled past
- Dreiko: Well meaning but shady Politico
- Lu Chaos: Community gangbanger thug with delusions of grandeur
- Purple Lace: Corrupt Politician
- Dina: Street worker (Edit: NOT THAT KIND OF STREET WORKER YOU PERVERTS!! LOL).
- Arlyana Jax: City Guard PR Officer
The most important lesson I've learned over this past year, is not to let anyone make you cruel. No matter how badly you want to give the world a taste of it's own bitter medicine, it is never worth losing yourself.

I see Lu Chaos as a motivational speaker. Regardless of what he motivates you to do, he motivates you and that's all that matters. ;)
I don't know if I would say AJ is an officer. She's more of a behind the scenes type. Geek, nerd, librarian maybe.
Flower of Cienn that co-worker everyone wants to ahem and is awesome at her job.
Aileron/Uthy the bartenders that let you vent and don't judge because they understand.
Anasina that annoyingly cute, happy person that you just can't bring yourself to hate.

Amanuensis of Academia

I kinda see Uthy as that guy who's got his fingers in too many pies, ya know like Community Watch, volunteer firefighter, boy scout troop leader, school event volunteer....ya know, the kind of guy who's probably setting himself up to run for city council or something because he thinks it somehow makes a difference.

The way he presents himself. I'm kinda seeing "The Warriors" type ganger. The one that gathers a group around him and insists that the city is "His" and all that sorta thing. So, maybe Criminal Lieutenant would be better?

As for the things I put up, those were just kinda my perceptions of a couple of characters in game. If you see them otherwise, Please put up your own "role in the Community" thoughts :)

I would say Lu is more like the "Boss" of the Mafia.

I found out what a Street Worker is because I thought of course she was saying Dina stands on the corner and works it!!!


01:33:06: You whisper to Arnaya: ((WHAT THE HELL? STREET WORKER?))
01:33:50: Arnaya whispers: (( I didn't say Street Walker... Street Worker, like one of the people that deals with everyone around and tries to get the homeless off the streets LOL ))
01:36:17: Arnaya whispers: (( Dina's kind of a general, help everyone out kind of teacher. Give a hand with quests, etc etc... thus where I got it. I'm not sure what term would be safe to use now though *giggles* ))

bops Arnaya over the head

AND HEY, I did say worker, not walker!

I really did mean the ones I put up to be general community roles, not to take pot shots at anyone. I'm loving the responses :)

Considering the Sorsha character was based in part on Bellatrix Lestrange, the only place in a community I can
picture her is in a high secrurity mental institution. ie: "Lucid Moments". :lol:
