does someone back from the dead need a job?

he could be a bouncer at a night club. I guess.

How about something poetic, like a late-night morgue attendant. He could literally stumble into the job.

Or for the sake of comedy, he could be a kindergarten teacher.

No seriously. It would rock.

I know when I see a story that consist of someone returning from the dead, the number one thing I think is what type of job can this character get. I would suggest extra in zombie horror movies.

Do you mean to say he returns in a supernatural way, or that he fakes his death?

Trey of Diamonds · 08-11-2006, 09:59 AM

Simple, have him get jobs through a temp agency. That way he can do part time work that doesn't tie him down or get him in trouble when he has to disappear for days or weeks on end.

I think alot depends on the circumstances of his 'death'. If he was a violent guy it might be nice to see him at a desk job. Think like in the Incredibles.

azrael · 08-11-2006, 11:45 AM

he fakes his death, he doesn't come back as a zombie. the kindergarten teacher/temp agency/desk job are all appealing, thnx guys. keep'em coming.

that and tha s.hit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!

Bit of a rip-off, but how bout a hero/detective for hire?

You're working on a story that you want to turn into a GN but you don't even know basics of who your character is?!

How far along is this "story"?

He becomes a "born-again" preacher!

Not to nit-pick, but where does this story take place. This could help in finding said character a job. Is he decomposing as the story goes or simply picked up where his life left off with a new identity. By new identity do you reconstruction or in name only. I am not trying to be a pest or anything just trying to help construct a scenario.

it takes place in a fictional city, Corazon City. a mix of a Gotham and Basin(Sin) City.
