Available Jobs

[initiates]

This section is currently defunct until the world situation stabilizes. There is no Initaitive to work for in the same way; characters are encouraged to find employment as they will and handwave earnings as appropriate to the current setting.

This page is for anyone who would like to better envision how their character spends their days! The Initiative pays well for work done for them, on top of the payment Transports already receive for a living wage. The more complex the job, the more it will pay. Characters will be paid monthly, and exact amounts can be assumed and handwaved.

To get your character a job, just comment to this entry in the appropriate place for it. There's no need to wait for mod permission. We may occasionally notify players if any upcoming plot would involve their career of choice, but otherwise all necessary information can be found on this page. Or here, in case of historical research jobs. If you have any further job-related questions, they may be asked here.

INITIATIVE SCIENTIST/RESEARCHER

Science Stuff
This is the most open, broadly defined job. Basically, if your character is science-minded, they can find a job here.

Researching timelines for missions
This includes looking into accurate clothing for the holodevices, researching historical events, languages, customs, etc, as well as pinpointing which events need to be changed to best benefit the present day. These characters will work very closely with Initiative NPCs already familiar with the process.

Mechanical upkeep of machines/networks
This includes development of new technologies, along with programmers and most engineers.

INITIATIVE ADMINISTRATION/RECORD KEEPING

Historian
Exactly what it sounds like, these characters scour the libraries for non-transcribed events to copy into the databases, as well as compare contrasting historical reports to determine the most likely truth, etc. It’s the findings of these people that the Initiative bases their missions on.

Mission Transcriptions/Record of results
These are the people that look over historical records after a mission has been completed, and see what changed. Historical records do change upon completion of a mission, and the only people who remember the way it used to be are those who were along on the mission.

INITIATIVE/TRANSPORT RELATIONS

Greeting new arrivals
What it says on the tin. Prior to the first of the month, people working in this function will set up the Hold and Courtyard in preparation for the Transport arrivals. They’re also charged with greeting new Transports, distributing tablets, issuing maps, answering questions, and generally being the friendly, informed face new Transports first encounter in Exsilium.

Relaying information
This is anything from information about an upcoming mission, to crisis reporting, to alerting Transports to upcoming changes. Basically, any information that the Initiative needs to get out to the Transports will come through these people.

MISC INITIATIVE JOBS

Health Services
The Initiative has its own medical bays, separate from the Transport Clinic and the hospital for the populace at large. The technology here is greatly advanced, and most diseases are curable.

Maintenance
Come on, everyone needs a janitor.

Security
Transports being unruly? These are the physically capable people that will escort them to a cell to cool down a little. They'll be used to protect the Hold in case of emergencies, but otherwise are just there to make sure no situation gets out of control.

OUT OF INITIATIVE JOBS

Police Force
This is currently headed by Transport Roslyn Small; questions can be directed to be_themoon/be_themoon.

Restaurant/Shop Ownership
Working within a restaurant/shop

Farming

Construction

Health Services

Transport Clinic
Native Hospital

Entertainment

Playhouses
Radio Stations
Brothels

Education Services

JOBS WITHIN THE INITIATIVE

Re: JOBS WITHIN THE INITIATIVE

[fintastic]

For Initiative/Transport relations, what about something going the other way from "Relaying information"? E.g. getting information from other transports to the Initiative, or helping other Transports get in touch with the Initiative directly? Or would that be just under the same thing?

JOBS WITHIN THE CITY AT LARGE

Re: JOBS WITHIN THE CITY AT LARGE

[chittybang]

So this has been something I've been thinking about for a while! As far as I've read, I know there is a bus system for transit, although the Sato family invented the taxi cab where Asami comes from and it kills her to not see a more convenient, efficient way of getting people around who are willing to pay the extra cash for immediacy (instead of waiting for a bus, sitting through all the stops, etc).

I'm wondering if there is any plausible way Asami could get her hands on a couple of bikes, cars, or a ragtag and crappy mix of both to maybe start a little taxi business? The vehicles would most likely be scarce because of gas issues, but idk, even having like four or five electric powered vehicles that have undergone some major tuneups would make a difference in Asami's opinion.

ETA: actually HECK have you seen one of these bad boys???? Abby just pointed it out to me!

[initiates]

Yeah, that should definitely be doable!

[chittybang]

lmao I read doable as "adorable" WHICH... could also be true.

Alright, great! I will get on making posts and stuff. :) Are there specific limitations? Maybe since the city just got bombed, the accessibility of electric motorized vehicles could be a progression/something for the scientists to get in on. For now I'll start with Asami's motorbike, maybe have a very basic car around and a handful of those awesome bike carts which are apparently prevalent in Minneapolis.
