If the B7 characters were in our reality, what jobs would they have? yes I
know they were criminals, but saying they all had day jobs which were honest. <
I can imagine Gan as a kind of paramedic - an ambulance man or something like that.
Avon seems too much of an individualist to work comfortably under a boss. He'd probably be most comfortable when given difficult projects to work out on his own. I think he'd also be a success as an airplane-crash investigator or some similar profession.
Vila would be in his element as an official visiting pubs to check that they don't use too small measurements or water down the wine. He'd insist on tasting the wine personally :-)
Blake can only be a school teacher. The way he's laying down the law on Liberator - and gets his crew to obey him even when it's sheer folly - indicates a born teacher.
A military career seems the most suitable for Tarrant. He comes over as someone who thrives under firm authority and needs clear lines of command.
Jenna as free-lance pilot, hiring herself out for the more adventurous and dangerous jobs, is an obvious choice. I think she'd also make a decent investigative journalist - always asking "What's going on?" :-)
Soolin would be a success as bodyguard.
S1 Cally could be working for a sports school giving courses in Self-defence For Women. S2/3 Cally could be employed as a government complaints officer - being sympathetic to the complaining members of the public without ever trying to get their problems sorted out.
This must be the influence of the episode "Animals": I keep seeing this mental picture of Dayna working in a zoo, tending to the more dangerous animals.
Thanks, M. This is fun.
