the way you work

so i was at the studio i work at the other day and a fellow artist asked me a questin when i was telling her a bout that i do on my weekend, LARPing that is. and i found myself thinking a bout it days later so here it is

what is your alter ego or um day job...

when i told her on the weeks i go up to a camp site and play a healer and a baker and run a round all day she commented that for having a job where i sit and paint or work with art all day i have a vary active alter ego.

not that i think gamers are like super heroes LARPing by night the mild manered reporter by day.....

but it got me thinking,
many of the most evil NPCs i know are the nicest ppl to hang with,
one the most big and mean looking fighters i know is a receptionist by day,
one of the best fighters i know dus data intery
one of the best organized players i know works at toys r us
one fof the most imaginative people is in computer programing,
one of the darkest don't mess with her people designs kids games for facebook...

so sorry if this is a bit odd but whant are your alter egos- jobs outside of larping?

i play a healer/baker- and im an artist
 
my PC is a scout with a fairly deep hatred for slavers.
I am an underwriter for a large bank.
 
I have a very serious elven fighter knight turned templar recently, a flirtatious MWE adept and a devoted DE healer. I am an actuary in real life (I do statistical analysis for insurance companies) and a mom to a 17month old (yeah, that's a job too).

Though my very serious fighter has turned quite ... different in this season, since I decided to play just for fun and not stress about everything in the game.
 
I play a silly, power-hungry, fun-loving, ego-centric, friendly gypsy celestialist.

I teach high school girls...so add in "masochistic and bat-s*** crazy".

For real though? I'm a cook and mortuary science student.

You're more of a spirit of the rules kind of guy ;)
