jobs.

Acquiring a job is not required - it's entirely possible to get by in Dualis with living in the dorm and surviving on your monthly stipend. However, if your character would like additional spending money for body mods and weapons and fancy dinners, getting a job will help with that!

Available jobs are usually entry level office work (think tech support, data entry, receptionist, etc.) or service/retail work (bartending, waiting tables, assisting in shops, serving lattes, etc.) No management positions are immediately available to newcomers but may be applied for after six months of steady employment at the same company.

Work is either part-time (20 hrs/week) or full-time (40 hrs/week). If you're a workaholic type, you can work up to 60 hours a week in any combination of full-time and part-time jobs - i.e., one of each, three part-time jobs, etc.

Part-time jobs pay 200 duos per month, and full-time jobs pay 400 duos per month. This is considered standard entry-level salary, since it is assumed that newcomers to Dualis are living in the dorms at no cost and receiving the monthly stipend.

Work chosen for characters can either fit their skills and experience or be something they've never done before, except for in cases where specialized knowledge and experience are required. Work as a nurse or mechanic, or joining the police force would all require previous training and experience, as opposed to jobs like a barista or sales associate, where skills can be taught on the job.

hmmm here's a couple off the cuff ideas ...

there are mines outside of the city, she could either be a miner herself or do something for miner safety, making sure nobody gets hurt in a cave-in? that's a 7 on 7 off job and there's temporary housing at the mining site for miners to stay when they're doing their days at the mine.

if she's interested in bodyguarding, the mayor has acquired a private security squad after the park bombing in june. south is on this team, so there's instant cr that way!

if neither of those interests we can workshop some other ideas. c:

Oh I love the mining idea because Wanda would definitely be curious about what's there. Do you think that spending half the month there will get in the way of CR? Or can I sort of fudge the weeks she is out there? Since I don't think anyone else is doing that but it sounds really interesting.

i don't think it should hamper her cr, she's still got free access on the network and can talk to people that way. if you want, it can even be part time, so she's only out one week a month. she also doesn't need to stay in the mining housing, since she can fly she would be welcome to commute, it's just like a three hour drive by bus each way iirc, so that's cumbersome for most folks to travel on the daily. but if you think she can travel faster than a bus, you can definitely go that way too!

[minus1twin]

Could she do it part time (so one week a month) and then do security for the mayor part time? I imagine that Wanda could get back to the city quickly if she needs too and that way I won't think to hard about her commute and just pick a week each month that she's not around.

sounds great to me! approved. c:
