Fursona Occupations

[JohnnyPsycho]

I sort of like the idea of a master smith hiding away his abilities behind the guise of a blacksmith or a maker of kitchen knives... the reasons for his wanting to hide could be philosophical, personal, or even just economical (after all, how many people, in a city known for the sex-trade and gambling, would really need the use of a high-quality samurai sword?)

Then again, this is neither my character nor yours, Symphony... we should just let kenjin decide himself...

[Feingo Ferinton]

Ahh, you've made an exellent point Johnny, there lies the advantage in double trade. One product may be less desirable, but if you selling something else that people want, it draws buisness to the other product. Take Spirits and Sidearms for example. The whole idea there is that porbably, most people in BonBon have no use for firearms, but there's always a need for some good Spirits! :wink: :lol:

No way. I'll to decide it right now. Kenjin is going to be a Panty-smith. I have no idea what it is, but I'm sure there's a need for someone like that in Bon Bon. ::0tongue::

[Kenjin]

You're quite correct about the Meiji era Johnny. With that in mind it was going to be part of the storyline flow that explained how Kenjin arrives in bonbon. From East to West, settling in a place that might have use for someone of his skills.

It was the idea for the general forging of Metals for material use, or the crafting of whatever item the customer might desire. Lord knows how much material Jillian would need to build new inventions. Or what sort of materials someone like Mr. Pilkington would need to begin rebuilding Scarlett's castle? That was the motivation. Sort of a "What do you need made?" kind of mentality. To which has now been mentioned as I slowly type.

The Samurai sword, being outlawed in his home territory, would more than likely be a decorative momento of an era gone by. Collectors could spend big money to own a piece of history.

But this discussion has brought a new perspective with Symphony's mention of being hired by the rich for custom craft jobs. Very fine living where one could afford to time spend at the delight castle you could say.

True, a fox (typically a lithe and springy creature) hardly seems to be a candidate for the harsh work of a blacksmith. So I can see that.

Before we continue the discussion, I'd like to thank you all, and offer anyone else to throw in their two-cents if they so chose.

... And the slowness continues...

My dear symphony? Do you happen to mean the kind of revolutionary new panties reinforced to withstand all those desperate tugging and tearing off? No longer must working ladies of the night have to spend their hard earned florins to replace their destroyed garments to overly enthusiastic customers!

[Symphony]

I see that you have obviously given a lot of thought to your fursona and the occupation. I'll look forward to seeing it in the avatar request thread, so I can get a better idea of the rest of your fursona.

If you could invent something like that, I'm sure you'd be offered a full time position at the Delight Castle. You might even get paid in alternative ways :wink:

Heh. Provided my materials were covered, I'd be more than happy to accept that sort of payment. Poor Ronald though, think of the Nightmare I'd put him through as the accountant?

[Shadow9808]

Leon I could see doing any odd jobs that will pay during daylight hours. Still, being one who grew up with the paranormal always trying to rip his neck open, he'd spend his nights patroling the city (And keeping a VERY sharp eye on Scarlett; Half vampire or not, to him vampiric blood is a dark liniage.) Considering how strong he is, he'd have no trouble heaving crates of ore or refined goods around a smith.

As for a gun and drink store, you can bet every sexy ass in Bon Bon he'd visit daily, if only for the banter about fire arms!

[saphron]

looks like you allready have a regular feingo!

[Feingo Ferinton]

*pulls out a notebook and writes a little talley mark next to several others*

Count it! There's one more reason to go through with it! :D

[saphron]

*looks at the note book behind feingos back* wow so many.....

[sexymanz]

i cant see... how many now?

1,000?

[saphron]

no not quite, but there are a lot on there.

[Feingo Ferinton]

*Takes a closer looke at the top of the page in his notebook* Oops, that's the shag count. *Flips page* There we are, the "reasons for store" count.

[saphron]

*eyes go wide.* well, thats not much more than the shag count!

[Tadelesh]

When Kenjin described his fursona, I didn't think of a big, bull-sized figure. The way he described it reminded me of Hattori Hanzo, from Kill Bill: an old man who crafts beautiful but deadly swords. A vulpine figure fits quite well in my mind.

As for the panty-smith idea, that makes me think of chastity belts. Not much call for those in Bon Bon; apart from Simon, who'd likely want to make Mary wear one. :lol:

If Simon were to approach Kenjin for that sort of request... The vulpine smithy would refuse it out of respect for the beauty of the nude female form. Even if Mr. Blue had the entire clan treasury to throw at him. A man's gotta have principles!

[Symphony]

There ought to be a law against chastity belts in Bon Bon. They are a crime against the town itself. :lol:

We need someone to run for mayor, so we can make sure that these atrocities will never be used in Bon Bon.

[saphron]

i'll run!

[Crimson]

yeah chastity belt should be banned. I agree with symphony!

[sexymanz]

omg its been so long since i hurd about a chasity belt... please refresh my memory.
