I got pretty bored today and decided that this might be a cool little study to do on the forum. Basically, under which of these professions would you classify each of your characters? Try to get one per character.
Criminal: Any murderers, thieves, pirates, and the like fit here.
Guard/Military: Any town guards, military, or other weapon-toters (Stone Knights, Barons) fit here.
Government: If your character is a town leader or fits in the administration of a town or nation, they're classified here.
Cultural: Writers, artists, historians, poets, etc.
Theological: Devout religious worshippers and clergy go here. (This is a character that devotes most of his or her time to their religion.)
Business: Anyone who owns or co-owns a business, whether it be hotel or steelworks, fits here.
Laborers: Anyone who labors for a company or government fits here.
Explorer: Cartographers and naval explorers fit here.
Merchant: Traders and travelling peddlers go here.
Hunter/Fisher: It's tough, but anyone who hunts or fishes for a living goes here.
Unsure/Socially oriented: Everyone else goes here.
So far, including just my characters, it looks like this:
Criminal: 0
Guard/Military: 3
Government: 1
Cultural: 1
Theological: 1
Business: 2
Laborer: 1
Explorer: 2
Merchant: 1
Hunter/Fisher: 2
Unsure/Social: 1
TOTAL: 15
If you don't want to post but still want to be included, then PM me and I'll add your tallies.

Government: 2
Cultural: 1
Theological: 1
Business: 2
Laborer: 2

If counting just mine, it would go
Criminal: 1
Government: 2
Theological: 1
Business: 1
Explorer: 1
Merchant: 1
Unsure/Social: 6
Total: 13
Though my criminal would consider himself an explorer, and one of my socials might be considered a merchant of a sort. But anyway, the wide number of unsures explains my loss of inspiration lately.
But if we're supposed to make a combined list then...
Criminal: 1
Guard/Military: 3
Government: 4
Cultural: 1
Theological: 2
Business: 3
Laborer: 2
Explorer: 4
Merchant: 2
Hunter/Fisher: 2
Unsure/Social: 7
TOTAL: 31

Well, I have one character who doesn't fit into any of these categories, so I will be forced to make the category: spy/diplomat
Also, my Stone Knight is more of a town leader then he is a guard.

It's weird, a lot of mine have been several of these throughoput their lives, but I'll just post what they currently are:
criminal: 1
guard: 0
government: 3
cultural: 0
theological: 1
business: 1
laborer: 3
explorer: 0
hunter/fisher: 0
merchant: 1
hunter: 1
unsure: 2
I think one important category that's missing here is 'philanthropist'. (It's sort of like 'business' I guess, only you make things to give them away and help people.)
