Hi mods, I have a few questions re: Kylo’s eventual return to New Amsterdam, Rey in tow.
›new job; he vanished shortly after the Fischer incident and would, I assume, have likely lost his job as a courier as a result. I would like to eventually get him involved in private security (as a bodyguard, for instance; I figured it might be a way to get him involved in the political sphere eventually without actually having to go the traditional politics route) but was thinking I would start him out in something a little simpler, like working at a gym. Possibly teaching some self-defense classes somewhere slightly more upmarket – though I am also willing to have him start in a smaller and work a bit before he can get his swankier gym job, as well. But what I wanted to know here is:
1. Is getting a job at a gym (any gym) feasible for him; if so, what kind of options does he have in terms of places looking and if he’d need to tick any particular boxes. 2. If yes, would he be able to eventually use this as a springboard for security work. The scenario I think of, off-hand, is he spends some time teaching kids how to defend themselves, and one of the parents decides that he knows what he’s doing and has a good rapport with the kids, maybe he’d like to do some weekend work or something? Idk idk. This is just what came to mind, off-hand. 3. If he can’t use the gym job, are there other avenues he could explore to eventually get into that kind of work (security) and which would be the most feasible for him, as he is.
›illegal racing; so, I was running with the idea that when he was working as a courier, Kylo had been a fairly solid employee: fast, reliable. He was also taking the occasional illegal job on the side.
1. Would it be feasible to assume that he might have gotten enough notice to have been informed about/offered an opportunity to race in the street races? This is less about wanting him to become a racer than assuming that he would have an idea of where the races are typically had, who is involved etc. 2. Which gangs are involved in racing, specifically. Do the races have fixed locations or do they change? How does one typically find out where the next race would be held? 3. How much money could a racer conceivably make? How much could you make betting off a race? 4. Is it a full time commitment or could you feasibly have a day job and just race occasionally? Would you need some kind of backer or sponsor?
› legal racing; I saw in a previous comment that you mentioned that one of the ways you can be recruited for legal racing is through VR racing?
1. What are some of the popular VR racing games available? Are these games you could encounter in any standard arcade/VR parlour? 2. What is the typical process for being recruited into the VR racing circuit? Would this be different for bikes versus cars or the same? 3. How long would it take to really distinguish yourself?
› gaming; just some miscellaneous questions since I want to try dig more into Kylo’s hobby and this really interests me, so:
1. Who are the big game companies? Are there just these or do you get smaller, indie companies as well? 2. What are the big games? Are there specific genres in favor right now? 3. What kind of equipment would a serious VR gamer be expected to have at their home? Like, idk. A home version of the vr set ups you’d find in an arcade. How much would something like that generally cost you? 4. What sort of cons are there? I know we had the Anime Con earlier this year but what are the other big events for gaming/general nerdery.
› tattooes; I want Kylo to eventually get a tattoo and was thinking if there were any really well-regarded artists that he could look into?
