This topic comes up every few months, and with little variations except for new characters, the jobs never change. So I propose a challenge: be less obvious about the connections. You can have Shikieiki as a judge, sure, but I like to think that she'd be a preacher of the streets, carrying a sign that says "THE END IS NEAR, REPENT OF YOUR SINS" and proclaiming judgment on passers-by.

Yamame - Pharmacist
Eirin - General Practitioner of Medicine
Parsee - Toll Gate Clerk

Yuugi - Gym Instructor
Rinnosuke - Store Owner

日巫子 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:13:28 AM »

Reimu would be a high school student working part time at the shrine. Good grades, dedicated to the shrine's work, although she lives alone so she'd end up mooching off of other people.

Rinnosuke would own Kourindou, but it would be one of those tiny mom-and-pop stores that actually accepts money instead of people trading (although that's certainly an option). Tokiko would still live there, going to elementary school and trying to hang out with the "cool kids" that hang out there after school (ie, high school students such as Marisa and Reimu). The story is surprisingly trendy among young people and is in a sort of rivalry with the Kirisame General Store.

Kasen would keep a nature reserve and accept donations from visitors to help maintain it, although she'd be struggling to find work elsewhere to keep herself afloat.

Shinki would be a scheming businesswoman who is also extremely successful with her business. Known and feared from Makai to Gensokyo for her shrewd tactics in whatever it is that people in the business field do. This is kind of embarrassing to Alice.

Reisen 2 would be a rookie spy who stumbles into Gensokyo and is quickly apprehended by the original Reisen, who is also in a top secret government job.

Komachi - Priestess, she will be preaching to you to get you to repent. She will also use force, if necessary.

Yuyuko - Spammer. She is one of those that no one likes, she sends spam to your email accounts.

Suika - Detective. She is like Sherlock Holmes, she will stalk you and figure out your faults.

Chronopolis · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2011, 09:19:49 AM »

Yukari - Hacker (So she can REALLY watch you masturbate)
Youmu - Police Officer (Stoic, maybe occasionally facing moral dilemmas from more corruptible superiors)
TBH I can't really think of occupations for the characters, really it's their personality that determines how they will react to whatever job they have. Perhaps lets say, what would the character want to be if they "grew up"?

Pfffff- I'm game.
Youmu is obviously a young woman who lives in a neighborhood filled with old folks too elderly to take care of their vast overgrown yards. She can be seen sprinting across yards with an old bladed grass-cutter (cylinder mower), hacking at thorny bushes, and trees with rusting tools, while being under-paid.

Reimu and Marisa are old, retired superheroes (Shrine Maiden Woman and Witch Girl respectively) in the old folks' home, wearing tights and masks (a superhero must never reveal her secret identity!) but still have a huge fan: Cirno da strongast fry cook! And one day Marisa has enough of Reimu calling her her sidekick and decides to become the super villain Witch Woman, running around Gensokyo with Wriggle (ManBug) and Rumia (The Dark Bubble) ringing doorbells on old people's homes and playing mean pranks on young couples...

(Am I doing it right? Or is this just plain, lame plagiarism?)

I had several ideas for past writings that placed Shikieiki as either the head honcho of her own company, or as a school principle. Orin was a (corpse obsessed) Janitor in one of those ideas.

I can't think of what others did, though.

Orin as a mortician, Utsuho as the one who runs the crematorium. And now I am thinking of Anubis and Thoth from American Gods. Hmm....

The only problem is that Orin is already the cat. Who would be Bastet?

Switch out Orin to be Bastet, and Zombie Fairy as the dead silent mortician (urf pun).

Satori could also be the mortician. I mean, she does rule over the former hell, after all. I think Yukari would definitely be Wednesday.
