Model

(Min PB12, No training required. Starting age: any.)

Models are commonly believed to only need to stand in place, smile and look beautiful. However this is not entirely true. Models of both sexes need to be able to perform to the standards required of them on a catwalk or modeling shoot. In other words, there are special ways of walking, ways of standing, and ways of looking. In many ways, being a model is like being an actor or actress, but without any lines. Models can start at any age, but most find that work immediately dries up when they approach the late 20s. Models that were not financially successful enough to build a sizeable savings to live off of tend to end up working in the fashion industry in other ways, such as managing high-end fashion shops.

Pimp

(No min requirements, no training required. Starting age 18.)

Despite the enlightenment of humanity in the 21st century and the advent of space travel and colonization, prostitution still exists. And because of this there will always be those people who will prey on the men and women who have taken up the trade of prostitution. Pimps are rarely the leopard skin, safari suit, cane wielding misanthropes as portrayed in popular culture. They are usually dressed business or casual style and like to keep a close watch on ‘their’ prostitutes. This is more for unscrupulous self-interest then for safety of the prostitutes. They do it to ensure they get their cut of the money and no one else (least of all the prostitutes) get it. Pimps are normally ruthless and amoral people.

Prostitute

(No min requirements, no training required. Starting age: any.)

The world’s oldest profession still has members, regardless of the asocial and technological advances of the future. However, the professionals are much further underground than in the previous centuries of human civilization. Even in places such as Bangkok, the red light district has been cleaned up considerably due to the overall increases in the standard of living and social welfare. Prostitutes still exist and usually fall into the back alleys of work that the rest of the world never sees. Many prostitutes also work as peep show or strip joint dancers. A lot of them know ‘how to take care of themselves.’ Sometimes this is only by tough talk, sometimes it is due to some type of weapon (mace, hairspray, etc.) or training.
