I want to be a Schattenjäger!

Twizman · 05-30-2010, 04:43 AM

Without the threat to my life aspect

What sort of jobs involve that sort of paranormal historical and detective work?

UPtimist · 05-30-2010, 07:05 AM

A novelist?

gray pierce · 05-30-2010, 07:11 AM

How about...a game designer!

Ascovel · 05-30-2010, 10:44 AM

Err... archeology?

Luna Sevithiainen · 05-30-2010, 11:40 AM

Researcher in whatever period of history you like most. Or just history, period.

Elena · 05-30-2010, 12:06 PM

Paranormal investigator??

Monolith · 05-30-2010, 01:09 PM

Without a threat to your life? I think you're just looking to be a gamer.

It's like saying I want to be a soldier, but don't want to kill or get shot at. (lol sounds like a lot of people nowadays)

rayvio · 05-31-2010, 12:03 AM

you could become a Holistic Detective like Dirk Gently

Bingo, that's what I'm studying

Australian Indigenous archaeology. I just finished my undergraduate degree majoring in Archaeology and Ancient History. I know of one adventure game where Australian Aboriginals feature, the start of Beneath a Steel Sky. I really disliked that game

I actually have a decent case for becoming a Schattenjäger. I'm from a famous German family. My last name is German, and means: defender of the castle

That's cool, apply that study to what UPtimist suggested. Write a novel/game/comic book. People love it when the crazy adventure stories they read have something to do with real archaeology.

Oh yeah? Why do you think that is? : )

UPtimist · 06-01-2010, 05:30 AM

It creates an enhanced feeling that the mystery is actually true? They have an attachment to the book via the real world so they're more immersified? (I could've said that so much better in Finnish

)

Something like that I suppose.

Luna Sevithiainen · 06-01-2010, 09:45 AM

I agree, and it is the thin line between fiction and reality that starts to fade that makes people (or at least me) want to find out more about the reality, if only to learn how well it ties in with the mystery.

Really!? Sounds very cool and very Schattenjäger!

Is it Schlossverteidiger?

Twizman · 06-02-2010, 02:12 AM

Haha, I see we have a German speaker here

Schloss = Castle
Verteidiger = Defender
Castle defender.

But no that's not my last name

Not Eger or Burkhard, is it?

Origami · 06-04-2010, 01:15 AM

Become an FBI agent and how you get assigned to X-files cases like Fox Mulder =D

green alien · 06-10-2010, 04:04 AM

a police psychic

Christian IV · 06-10-2010, 04:14 PM

Reality is over rated.

I too have a German name that has doomed me to the life of a Seeker/Wandervogle/Crusader/Watcher of Stars.....

Little Writer · 06-11-2010, 12:22 AM

It's the what-if factor: what if the fictional theories about a real life subject were actually true? It's the need for something special in life, something to forget the boredom and staleness. A quest for mystery. We're living in a time where so much is explained scientifically, there's almost nothing left that can astound us, fill us with wonder.

By the way, remember the dragon's requirements: that you have Ritter blood running through your veins, and that two women have loved you purely.

You could always become a demonologist, like the Smiths. I suggest you add "The Mystica" to your favorite websites.
