Basically, I have characters that are either fantasy creatures, or aliens, or live in a dystopian world where all the jobs are different. But sometimes I like to do headcanons where I give them ordinary jobs. It's fun lol. Here are some of mine, and the jobs they actually have in my story's canon:
Mike:
Canon job: Dystopian monster-hunter/animal control, basically.
Ordinary job: I feel like he'd either be a cop or some kind of park ranger ^^
Bernon:
Canon job: Same as Mike, and before that he was just a wanderer.
Ordinary job: I think he'd make a great journalist. He loves to meet new people, see new things, and record his experiences in his notebooks as carefully as he can. He's always on the lookout for history in the making, and stays pretty up-to-date on current events.
Boar-back:
Canon job: He's the leader of a powerful bandit tribe in the New England area, same story as Mike and Bernon.
Ordinary job: So despite what you might think, his personality is chill, responsible, and almost fatherly around people he cares about. He's not fazed by much of anything and he's incredibly patient. I think he'd be a teacher for special-needs kids or something like that.
Urth:
Canon job: He's basically the god of nature/life.
Ordinary job: I mean, the obvious choice is gardener or something like that, but I think he also has the potential for a creative career like painting, perhaps.
Morgan:
Canon job: I guess his job is just to generally cause havoc, and to do what his creator, the god of time/fate, tells him to do. He's a minor villain in a story separate from the others.
Ordinary job: In what world would he not be an overly bubbly gay barista honestly
Tide:
Canon job: None, except guard his territory and family. He's one of the monsters that Mike and Bernon hunt lol
Ordinary job: If he were a human, he'd so be a member of the coast guard. He'd probably do a lot of work related to cleaning up litter and pollution as well.
Have fun with this idea and your own ocs, if you like! I might add more for myself, if I think of them later on.
Why aren't more people doing this??? This is amazing.
(They all have the same canon job: weapon of mass destruction)
Ram: He actually HAD a real world job, owner of a overseas trade business. But after his life took the turn it did, he definitely wouldn't want to do that anymore. He would probably make the world's best bodyguard, but he wouldn't want to do that either. He'd end up as a pizza delivery man, I'm sure of it.
Osric: Not a thing on earth could stop this man from being a youtuber. He's got every skill required.
Carson: That's actually really easy, he'd be a model. That man's handsome as all get out, and honestly would probably enjoy it a lot.
Mehri: She's really hard. But honestly? She could probably make a dang good actress, but I don't know that she'd like that very much. She'd probably only show up in small indie movies.
Caleb
Cannon Job: Chimney sweep
Modern AU Job: He's too young for most jobs so I think he's pretty much limited to being a paper boy, which I can actually see him doing.
Kit
Cannon Job: He's the crown prince
Modern AU Job: Modern AU Kit doesn't have a job. He just leeches off of his rich parents. He's probably also the class president at some really pretentious private school.
Gerard
Cannon Job: Healer
Modern AU Job: The obvious thing to say would be a doctor (or at least someone who wants to go into that field since he's too young to be an actual doctor). But I can also see him wanting to do something a little more behind the scenes like some kind of medical research job. Can also see him doing some tutoring as like a side thing to put him through school or something like that.
Alexis
Cannon Job: Also a healer
Modern AU Job: Again, the obvious answer is a doctor, but I can kinda see her wanting to go more into psychology.
(I'll maybe come back and do more later, but I really want to draw some of these now).
Thanks for contributing guys! Glad I could inspire some art with this prompt as well :D
Aurelius-
Canon Job: Dragon caretaker, also is a bartender at some point but more out of necessity than desire
Modern AU: Probably some sort of zoology, entomology, etc. Definitely something dealing with animals. The wackier the better.
Cyrus-
Canon Job: Technically doesn't have a real job at the moment. He's working as a fighter for the yet unnamed anti-dragon resistance, but actually, he's a double agent. He formerly worked a combination of farming and patrolling/fighting.
Modern AU: Psychologist or Epidemiologist
Pollux-
Canon job: Healer/field medic
Modern AU: Would still be a doctor. I literally can't imagine him as anything else.
That's just a few. My brain is fried lol.
Yamatsukami
Canon Job: Weaponsmith
Modern AU: Either a geologist, jeweler, or steel-mill worker. Anything involving rocks or metal.
Aqua
Canon Job: Fisherman
Modern AU: friend. Nah, he'd probably be in either the fishing trade or the Navy.
Guinevere
Canon Job: Huntress (like, dragons and wyverns and shit)
Modern AU: MMA Female Heavyweight Prizefighter. Will mix your shit right up.
Sharla
Canon Job: General Surgeon
Modern AU: Either Orthopedic or Pediatric Surgeon. Not much different, honestly.
Galahad
Canon Job: Dickhead-in-Charge of Evil Villany, also a very accomplished tailor.
Modern AU: The next Gucci, Versace, Prada, you name it. He's THAT good, but would absolutely never sell out his brand.
This is a neat idea so here:
Lysia
Canon job: Destructive dark angel sort of thing
Ordinary job: maybe a personal trainer? Or like a stuntswoman
Yanni
Canon job: Militia troop leader
Ordinary job: she'd make an amazing teacher for like grades 1-5 or something
Diego
Canon job: Militia soldier
Ordinary job: A bartender definitely, the perfect balance of charming, thoughtful and authoritative
Dorota
Canon job: goddess
Ordinary job: pottery/art teacher with that chaotic sunshine energy that somehow demands respect
(guess I may as well join in)
Talrius
Canon job: Second Heir to the Kien
Modern AU: Field-working Anthropologist
Issalok
Canon job: the Champion of Talrius
Modern AU: MMA Title Champion
Niserie
Canon job: the World Guide for the group
Modern AU: a field reporter
Annai
Canon job: Niserie's younger cousin, fulfilling his wish to see the world before his inevitable demise
Modern AU: a Make-A-Wish kid or a child actor
Elish
Canon job: a scavenger that salvages parts from abandoned dig sites
Modern AU: an engineer
(Screw it, I'm bored)
Azami
Canon Job: Pirate
Modern AU: Police officer, doing art on the side
Jax
Canon Job: Also a pirate
Modern AU: When she grows up, she wants to be a doctor
Maia
Canon Job: Pirate commander
Modern AU: Archaeologist
Tori
Canon Job: Revolutionary
Modern AU: Charity organizer
Echo
Canon Job: Marine
Modern AU: Probably still a Marine
Bandanna
His current job is to oversee the radars and such to ensure no submarines are getting too close to his underwater city's walls. He created the whole system, and is one of the most tech-brilliant people in his culture.
He would definitely work for NASA or something.
Brilliant, Stunning and Fantastic
The co-dictators of said underwater city, these three always come in a set, and would 100% be corporate giants with no morals of care for their employees.
Sasha
Sasha is an elite warrior in his world, but in modern au, he'd only probably be with the military. He might be a full time stay-at-home dad, or an elementary school teacher otherwise
(In this world, jobs are more widely available and easier to get at a young age. As an example Catiline is qualified for a teaching position in this world, but in the modern world she would be too young and inexperienced.)
Colby:
Canon job: Borderline soldier (to fight of monsters who have crossed over city borders)
Modern job: Too young to actually obtain a law enforcement job or join any branch of the military. She would more than likely just settle with being a barista. Mostly cause she also wants to be a bartender but also is too young for that job as well.
Tyler:
Canon job: Sword-fighting coach
Modern job: High school/College swim coach. Has always dreamed of being a swim coach of a high school or college team.
Kandy:
Canon job: Field medic
Modern job: A doctor. Not much else to say.
Catiline:
Canon job: Ketvanic teacher (teaches the Ketvanic language)
Modern job: English tutor/substitute teacher. She wouldn't be old enough or nearly experienced enough to achieve a full-time teacher's position.
I have lots of these.
Jenna:
Cannon job: Cartographer/Falconry assistant
Modern job: Delivery Driver
Tabitha:

Modern job: Comes to peoples houses and tells them what's wrong with them.
Blaze:

Modern: Forester
Christi:
