SouthLab.
I'm overdue for progress on SouthLab. One simple thing I did tonight was change the class titles to make them more appropriate (and funny) to the Ockham University context.
Fighters » Managers - specialize in hand-to-hand combat. They are heavily armoured and rely on melee weapons when they begin their adventure. They are strong and tough, though they lack in other attributes.
Archers » Physicists - specialize in ranged combat. In contrast to managers, they rely on missile weapons to start out. They are relatively weak but are quite agile and intelligent.
Wizards » Logicians - specialize in the arcane arts, relying on magic. They are lightly armed and armoured, but start out with a supply of magical items, including spellbooks. They lack in physical attributes but are very intelligent and highly attuned to the element Mana.
Mage Warriors » Brewers - are a class that strives for well-roundedness. They are comparatively balanced in terms of melee combat, missile combat, and magic abilities. They are also comparatively balanced in terms of attributes.
I think they're rather cute. In their cheeky, bitchslapping way, they're cute.
My university doesn't have a brewing school either, but they're out there. Dalhousie University in Halifax has one, and Google says even Cornell has one.
I had different possibilities swirling for each one. In the Fighter slot, I might've stuck English Major if there was a more elegant way to express it, but as we all know there's no profession that you can really associate with that. On the other hand, I don't really think English majors are big meatheads so much as proud time-wasters, which is something I know all about. There was a more elegant way to express Business Major, and I give it above. Administrator could've worked as well, but it's a little longer.
I was thinking of putting Linguist in the Mage Warrior slot, because it wouldn't've been a bad fit. But Brewer's good too, and funnier to boot.
These aren't hard-set yet. I was gonna make Wizards Metaphysicists, but with Physicists taking the Archer slot I settled on Logician as a bitchslap to people who think rationality is witchcraft (« five consecutive consonants).
Physicists as the agile, intelligent class, I don't need to explain. Physicists are widely known to be the badasses of the science department.
At least I find it all amusing.
