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

  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
