Blix Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If you lived anywhere in the KOTOR era, what would the ideal job be for you? Be it Cantina Manager, Singer, Jizz Musician, Moisture Farmer, Farmer (on Dantooine), Salvager, Beast Rider, Mercenary, Swoop Track Manager, Pazaak Player, Exchange Agent, Sith Officer (like Imperials)etc. (These are average jobs only, not prestigious jobs like Jedi Knight or Sith Lord because we all know everyone would be saying; "Dark lord of the Sith" ) I have a few choices in mind depending on the area; *Droid Technician: I imagine you could make quite a profit wiping and repairing people's droids, not to mention if you ever had a job from Czerka you could probably get your hands on some incriminating information (blackmail anyone?) *Exchange Agent: Sure it's vile, rotten, ruthless, and low-down but I imagine it would be fun cramming a bunch of Trandoshan thugs together in a space cruiser and blasting off to shake someone down for credits they owe ^_^. *Sith Officer: A somewhat high-ranking one I imagine, I wouldn't want too much responsibility yet I wouldn't want such a crappy position that I get stuck with guarding the entrances to the Under City on Taris, or the Sith Academy entrance on Korriban. I'd like to be a mid-level officer, maybe in an HR position living out on Manaan or Kashyyyk. What are some of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Twi'lek Dancer Manager, for obvious reasons. Smuggler, for the obvious danger and sense of adventure obtained. That, and the need for a fast ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Mercenary, especially a very gifted and lucky (when needed) one. Also, preferably something that minimizes contact w/jedi or sith (except from a safe distance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Mandalorian Mercenary/Bounty Hunter. Q. Why? A. The armor is cool and you get to collect credits from your victims and from the person paying you to grab them. I would wear a custom suit of Beskar'gam and carry a: Lightsaber (trophy from a Jedi/Sith victim), Rocket launcher, Grappling hook, Repeating blaster- blaster- blaster (oops! Not that kind of repeating! [Mind Trick] Move along) and a jetpack (for obvious reasons). I would have two ships. One like the Ebon Hawk and one like Slave I. Edit-- I would also have a cyborganic right arm (my right arm, because I'm left handed. And it just wouldn't feel natural to me any other way). I would have my droid arm modeled after that of General Grievous or Haazan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Sith Officer. High ranking would be best. I'd settle for command rank, though. Nice uniform, big ship, shoot anyone who annoys you - what's not to like? Only real career hazard is the overconfident Sithy Lord that has fun killing senior staff.

Giant Graffiti Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If I actually had to live in the universe, I probably wouldn't have a profession. If I could just role-play, I'd be a con man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Kyle Katarn sort of sums up what I think would happen: I'd just be minding my own business trying to make it along and all of a sudden one day I'd find out my true abilities and become some kind of Jedi Battlemaster. I'd get sucked into all sorts of crap I didn't care for and have some student eventually that ended up a wild cannon for better or worse. Not by choice in the big picture but it would end up looking that way on the day by day basis. >_< If it were my choice... I'd probably be a tech or a militia. Except I'd have a few ships, and a few homes. Probably do merc work. And an arsenal of weapons. Possibly do some black market work, if I had to. So pretty much like I am here in real life: odd jobber who manages to get around and know big people yet still manage to be who I am. Laborer, no additional benefits (except ones I can innovate) but enjoying the freedom of being self employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2-X2 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 1.: Genohadaran Killer, because I like being unseen, and sniping enemys out without getting killed yourself and getting payed. 2.: Elite Droid Technician. A technician that doesn't repair droids, a technician that builds new classes of droids (I love the Mark I and Mark IV droids) 3.: A Officer with the highest rank you can get, living at the Star Forge.

Thanatos9t Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Jedi War Veteran I think it would have been cool to have fought in the Madalorian War as one of the Revanchist's Knights, but to have missed the end of the war/begining of the Jedi civil war due to an injury sustained during the battle of Dxun. I would spend my time in cantina's avoiding the Sith and the Jedi, occasionaly taking out small odd jobs as a Soldier for hire. As far as everyone would know the Jedi me died on Dxun. Either that or as an IT support guy, "Have you tried turning your droid on and off again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Bounty Hunter. Obvious reasons really, lots of money, competition, and a near endless amount of contracts. As long as there are at least 2 aliens in the galaxy, someone is going to want to kill something:D Mandalorian Warlord. What can I say? Having the power of millions of Mandalorians under your command is just too much to resist:D Just think of the conquests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Droid Shop Owner. Making them, owning them, buying them, selling them. All looks like a nice job to have. Archaeologist. Like at Korriban in the first game, must be awesome (but dangerous) to dig up the past. Being an archaeology student in real life, that was an easy one. Pilot. What's more awesome than fly your own ship? (Preferably a top model, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blix Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Only real career hazard is the overconfident Sithy Lord that has fun killing senior staff. Oh geez, I would try as much as I could to work away from a Sith Lord, because I know w things; if there's a Sith lord on a ship - Jedi are coming, and that the ship and everyone on it is going down. 2.: Elite Droid Technician. A technician that doesn't repair droids, a technician that builds new classes of droids (I love the Mark I and Mark IV droids) That would certainly be one of my top choices if I lived on a planet like Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa, or Taris (Imagines the insane prices you could charge off-worlders) Either that or as an IT support guy, "Have you tried turning your droid on and off again?" LOL - you'd probably get a lot of Imps/Sith Officers calling about that one. "This damned interrogation droid has ceased functioning again, I've tried everything imaginable and I cannot get the blasted thing to operate!"

RedHawke Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'd be a Shadow Lord of the Sith™ of course... But I would only come out to kick the galaxies backside and knock over all the proverbial ant-hills once every 1,000 years then go back to my hidden refuge and this continued thousand year cycle would help to make the survivors stronger.

Chevron 7 locke Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Bounty hunter of course. You get to travel to exotic planets in search of your quarry...and you get plenty of excercise either while chasing your target, or by dodging the blaster bolts he's most likely shooting at you. Usually Thermal Detonators would get thrown at you! -RH Thanks RH, I forgot about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I was actually thinking that that was a horrible misspelling, but now it's hilariously bad canon. Yeah when I first heard it was like wtf are you serious?
