Occupation System

Occupations are the professions of your characters. Each character has one occupation by default, but by using the Fate Points you can gain one more. Occupations are not only a means of making characters more unique and give texture to the site, but they also work to give your character certain privileges to things others don't. For instance a Martial Artist has access to Rokushiki while no one else would.

Occupations aren't to say if you haven't chosen Chef as one of your Occupations your character can't cook or if they aren't a Martial Artist they can't engage skillfully in Hand to Hand combat, they just don't get the benefits those with the actual Occupation get.

The Occupations are split into two groups, Combat Jobs and Support Jobs. Combat jobs are related to fighting, while Support Jobs are related to crafting things or having abilities that have benefits outside of combat like a Navigator.

Each Occupation has at least two stages to it. The base, then the Specialization. Specializations are unlocked when a character attains Tier 3 and only one may be chosen, not all of them. When you Specialize in an Occupation the benefits of the base Occupation are still usable. NPCs cannot attain a Specialization.
