Occupations
While super heroes spend a great deal of their time trying to help others and to make the world a better place, many of them have other responsibilities, including having to work for a living. These things that they do are called Occupations.
As part of a character’s occupation, they tend to pick up skills, contacts and other resources that can come in handy in the course of the game. These are listed as a package of Traits and tags that the character gains for free.
Each character starts with a single occupation. They can pick up others throughout play, at the Narrator’s discretion, and they can lose Occupations too.
An occupation is generally something the character is involved in now or in their recent past. For instance, if the character is young, they probably go to school and should pick the Student occupation. Older characters probably also went to school in their younger years, but they often move on to another occupation. They should ignore the Student occupation and pick one that better fits their current occupation.
Numerous Occupations are described in this section, but such a list cannot be exhaustive. If you have an idea for a new occupation or would like to tailor one of the current ones to better fit your character, go right ahead. Just be sure to discuss it with your Narrator too.
The Occupations available in the Quickstart Rules are the following. More can be found in the Core Rulebook.
