You in Year 90

[noako]

Well, a new forum needs new topics!

Where would you live? What would you do? Military, scholar or peasant? Where do you feel you would fit the best?

I would like to be some kind of scout. I don't get bored easily, I could just spend my days hidden somewhere, keeping my eyes on victims of the illness and killing/alerting of them. Being a mage would be awful due to seeing the spirits but... oh well, it would still be cool!
I would like to be useful, though I think I'd eventually want to settle down in some safe zone...


What about you guys?

Honestly, I see myself as being in the military in some form of logistical/quartermaster function. My eyes are bad enough that you wouldn't want me doing anything involving aiming.

Heh, now that I think about it, I do wear glasses... But one can always dream, right?

Definitely military, probably some kind of expeditionary cleanser-grenadier. Let fire and brimstone be the path to salvation! I wonder if cleansers ever get religious about their job.

We've already established me as a wild norwegian forest cat with wanderlüst.

Anyways, I'd probably be some kind of scholar.

I guess they might, but wasn't christianity pretty forgotten already? I'm not sure how religion works there... Do the old gods refer to Odin and company, or something else?

Yeah, I change my answer, I want to be a cat! They are the most important characters in the world, for sure...

Scholar, all the way.  I'm already an engineer irl, so I'd probably be doing something like that in the storyverse. 
That said, I'm also not one to do dangerous things, so I'd probably avoid risky engineering jobs and stick around the middle-most location of a large safe zone, probably Iceland.

In Iceland and Norway the "old gods" probably refers to what came before Christianity, in other words the Norse pantheon - Odin and so forth. Surtr, a fire titan, might be someone Norse cleansers might be worshipping. The Finns seem to worship old Finnish gods. It's hard to say with the Swedes and the Danes, but the Swedes at least seem as irreligious as they were before the pandemic.

The swedes worship PURITY and CLEANLINESS

And themselves. Some things never change, even after the near-apocalypse.

I'm not sure, but I think it means "I would be a troll or some other infected".

Me, I would be a Scald. Short-sighted, puny, literate, cowardly - all the traits that mark a man out for a job behind a typewriter!

"Literate," and "puny" are our main differences then, haha.  I swear I'm losing more of my vocabulary every year
