Uhhh…. I don't really understand these new prompts. Since there's both a job prompt and an occupation prompt, I think (??) that occupation is more professional like student, warrior, unemployed, etc while job is more informal? Like for one of my dudes I wrote that he's unemployed for occupation but for his job he's a mechanic, since he's not licensed/professional and only makes gadgets for his friends. Idk, does that sound about right? As for conditions, I don't really know what to put. Do they mean physical conditions, like if they're in a wheelchair? Mental conditions, like anxiety? Or conditions as in "I'll do x if you do y/I'll be nice to you as long as you don't hurt z???" I'm just really confuzzled.

I think just use them however you like. I don't really use the job prompt, since occupation works just fine, but if you'd like to use both go ahead! Another idea for Job is maybe instead of say "Doctor" "Therapist" "Fire Fighter" you could do more like responsibilities, "Protects supplies" "Shows people the ropes" "In charge of finding food." Or you could include the responsibilities their occupation includes, for example:

  • Occupation: Gardener
  • Job: Tends for the bushes and the roses. Pulls weeds. Cleans tools.

For conditions I use that for actual disabilities and stuff like that. For example, if I have a character whose just shy, I'd put that in flaws and/or personality. But if she had like actual social anxiety, I'd put that in conditions.
All in all, just use them the way that's most helpful! There's no real rules about how you use the prompts :)
