What are some fantasy character concepts based on modern occupations and hobbies?

For example:

  • phlebotomist is a vampire
  • hobbyist maker is an artificer
  • arborist is a druid
  • dog trainer is a beast master
  • Bartender is a poisoner

And what about locations and services?

For example:

  • Dentist’s office is a tooth cult temple
  • Cellphone store is a familiar breeder/vendor
  • ChatGPT is an oracle, possibly a medium for communicating with a demon who gives bad advice

    Due to the lack of a comma in the last paragraph, I was seriously confused for a moment. Lol. I thought it said, “Dentist’s office is a tooth cult temple cellphone store”.

    Clearly, that dentist is an economic genius & is trying to corner multiple markets by tackling all four in one establishment! Genius, I say!

      Honestly sounds like a Brookstone product. “Here’s a combo alarm clock, beer cooler, golf ball cleaner, massage chair you never knew you wanted until now!”

      Those are the kinds of serendipitous misunderstandings I like!

      Apparently a line break in the text box on Connect isn’t recognized as such when posting.
