If you were an Imperial Citizen, which profession would you choose, provided you could get past the long lines at the Naming Office. Would it involve minerals, or maybe negotiation? Maybe you'd like to join the Archivists or even the Patrons in their duty? Or perhaps you'd like to become a true Watcher. You'd get to learn all the truths of the Eighth at the expense of it sealing your life forever!

So, what will it be?

Ooh, I dunno. Patron, Archivist, and Watcher all seem lovely - maybe Negotiator too. I'd include Architect in that list, but given what I've done IRL and this new "RPG" I dunno about that.

2nd Bore-to-deather.

Or is it 2nd Borer-to-death?

Whatever it is, I have the innate ability to smite any english-speaking monster with a barrage of uninteresting words.

Don't even look at the nick. I made it up long ago and my interests changed. I would be - 2nd Neather... or wait it isnt the Imperial name... Then... Hm. The Builder, that will be. Alone i mean nothing. But where there are many of us... We will crush anything.

I hereby declare that anybody who points out the phrase "2nd Neather" in the above post is unoriginal and not really contributing anything that didn't already run through everyone's mind.

EDIT: D'OH!
Okay, anybody who mentions any hypocrisy in this post is also unoriginal. And believe it or not, that is how you spell "hypocrisy." I learned sumthin today.

You just found out how to spell hypocrisy? Sheesh! Maybe you should go drink some zwetschenwasser and eat some fei's while wearing a gbo while I give you some Bewusstseinslage before we start an imbroglio or brouhaha after seeing the abendmusik performance while eating vacherin, dacquoise, and hasenpfeffer.

Dammit, don't use german words in english forum. Hard to understand. Impossible, for some of us.

They're not German. They are 100% English and can be found in a nearby Merriam-Webster dictionary near you. Ask Briareos!

Hello, Explorer.

According to the Full-Name Introduction in Section #27990 Act (which I recently … um, archived), you have to introduce yourself with your full name, not just your job. If you don't introduce yourself properly, I'll make sure that a group of Aumtlichs will be dispatched.

Thanks, 248th Archivist.

I like to think of my verse persona as an independent contractor, with both architectural and political skills. I've been dropping hints throughout my various "fanon" holds (Chaco's Hold, Terrakept Resonant, Imperial Wandering) that Chaco is very wealthy, can hire many guards or builders to build or staff his holds given a reasonable amount of time, and wields a respectable amount of authority and power in the Empire given his position.

My in-universe persona also gets interviewed and gives plenty of information in Imperial Wandering, although it takes place in the Hall of Mastery and the player needs to master the hold to get to it.

As I publish some more holds expect me to continue the story. The persona of "Chaco" has some elements of me in him but I think he's also sort of his own person, doing his own things. Occasionally I ask him what he would do to Beethro or to Tar Technicians and he not only tells me what he would do but also why, in a rather consistent manner.

Erm, right, to answer the question, I don't really have a name in Rooted Hold beyond "Chaco", but "Architect" comes closest.
