Adventurer/Scout

Explorers and Trailblazers are still needed.  Often homesteading requires a local guide who knows the way of the land and the info on new species is often sent back as records for topographical, geological, botanical, zoological and arcane information.   They often mark out paths for future travelers to transverse and have developed their own “travel code” based on pictures.

Adventurer/Troubleshooter

There is always a need for a person whom can fix the machinery that allows people to eke out an existence.    Some have garages/workshops that are more like fortresses.  Plus, the Cybercult often treats them like nobility.

Channeler/Faustian Mechanic 

This style of magical practice has only become common about 5 years ago when Lorenzo Legardo traveled to the Gazebo and opened shop to show how awesome he is.   Apparently, it worked because a lot of his students spread this magical technological lore like wildfire.

Channeler/Sentinel

The mixing of magic and weapon use is often justified by magical traditions of the past, which may or may not be based on fact.  Some explanations include ancient blood lines, directed connection of spirits, or the taking of heads to act as a power source.

Psychic/Eruptor

A lot of these suffer from cranial deformities as according to the many communities that a Conehead helps channel the energies of the universe.  They wander the continent in psychic bandit gangs demanding those to bow down to their magnificence.

Psychic / Mentalist

There is this organization known as the Quantum Fellowship.  Often rationalizing themselves as persons of peace and decency, they often take over people and dinosaurs in order to make them “friends.”

Since the harsh landscape is decremental to most, a secret society known as the old blooded plumbers who seek out threats to the entire continent and drain them away.

Ritualist/Artillery Mage

These are rare, but not unheard of.  Recently the North American gang known as the Wayward Spells ended up diving into the depths of the Amazon.  They befriended many local tribes and somehow their magics mixed to make a new breed of Artillery-mage:  The Sauro-caster.  Those that are brave enough to befriend a dinosaur mount to ride while throwing large area effect spells.

Ritualist/Magister

Magic is not quite as common as it is in other parts of the world, but it’s not unheard of.  Organized magical practices are common in Chichen Itza, the Faculty of Sorcerous Intent at the Gazebo, and in Sacsayhuaman in the former state of Peru.

Ritualist/Rainmaker

They are rare in South America, but most found are part of an organization known as Rainmaking Inc.  They have replaced more traditional attire for a three-piece powered suits and head across the continents to offer “weather at reasonable rates.”
