Law Enforcement
Uniformed police, state troopers, federal police, federal agents, SWAT team members, and military police or all law enforcement. Law enforcement focuses on upholding the laws and statutes of land and keeping the peace. They are given a lot of power over others and can be deemed heroes or reviled. Do you strive to be a good idealistic cop or are you jaded? Have you abused your power before, or seen others abuse theirs? Have you been hurt in the field or lost a partner? How do you view criminals?

Sgt. Daniels, an MP at Fort Hood didn't mean to become a delver, not exactly. During her basic training, they were taken out to a field and told to make their way back to camp using only the tools they had. She wasn't well liked among the other recruits and they soon "lost" her while she was making use of a bush. Never one to give up, Ashlin followed their tracks, or at least attempted to. Her efforts led her to a stream where any chance she had to track them fell away. She camped at the stream bed that night, and in the distance she saw a light. Though she knew she was far from camp, she marched towards the light and discovered a harsh column splitting open a boulder, a bifrost. Fascinated she touched it and fought the horrors within.
Sgt. Daniels made it out of the dungeon, out of the bifrost, and out of the woods. When she returned hours before the others, it became clear the Sgt. Daniels was extraordinary. And Ashlin felt extraordinary. Since leaving the bifrost she has had a closeness with nature that has guided her on patrol and aided her in protecting Fort Hood and its community. Her senses are extra keen and her bruises and scrapes heal quickly. She is quicker than others at the MMA gym and part of her wonders if she could go professional. Ashlin hasn't told anyone about that day, but she wonders if others are starting to suspect.

Do you work at a hospital, for a small practice, or for a clinic? Have you lost an important patient?

Those you help without charge will feel indebted to you. In times of emergency others will defer to your leadership if it is medically related.
David Kim meant to find a bifrost. He had heard of what they could do on the news, seen the footage of the terrorists and the saviors, the boxers and the magicians. Everyone who came out of those things seemed to be a star, and David wanted some of that. He didn't want to be a nurse, no matte how noble the profession, anymore. Or at least, not just a nurse.
He found a group through Delvr that was willing to take him on his first run, if he took less of a portion of the loot. David agreed, knowing it would be safer to get his powers with an experienced group than bumbling in and becoming a statistic. When the say came, he arrived at the abandoned warehouse with butterflies creating a whirlwind in his stomach. The others arrived late and greeted each other with friendly grasps but completely ignoring him. When it came time to enter the building, he saw one of them place a hand to the door before a loud knock echoed through the afternoon and the door swung open.
Every nerve in his body told David to run, but when they finally called for him by name, the weight of his social responsibility dragged him forward. They pushed him in, shoved him at least, reminding him to keep his head low. He came out on the other side with a heavy mace, scale armor, and a strong urge to seek light. The others never made it through the pack of fire-breathing wolves and he orcs who bred them, but David burned them alive before healing his own wounds and rushing towards the abandoned warehouse.
David is a professional delver now, though at times he has to supplement it with odd-jobs he can accomplish around town. He also volunteers his healing services at a clinic, both his spells and his expertise. Every now and then his old boss begs him to return, but David only laughs and tells him he'll see her next week.
Military
All branches of the armed forces including elite training units. You earn your income by working directly for the armed forces of your country and serving wherever your country needs you. Do you enjoy working in the military, do you agree with all its decisions? Have you been in a war? Have you been deployed anywhere exotic? What is your rank? What branch do you work for?
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics and Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Vehicles (any one) and one gaming set
Equipment: A uniform, a small knife, and $500.
Feature: Rank
You have a rank in the military which is recognized by other soldiers. They will give you help when you are needy and defer to your judgement if you are above them. You can expect legal help from the military if you are in trouble, and if you die they will pay for a funeral.
There are many delvers among those in the military. Like the military it is dangerous and it is lucrative. Private Fist Class Mark Holiday joined the marines for all these reasons, and so when some buddies said they were going out to get superpowers from one of those portals nearby, he went with them. Who didn't want superpowers? Of course, most people who entered them never came out alive, but he had already been on a tour in Afghanistan. If that didn't kill him, what could?
In the dungeon, Mark and his friends plowed through a horde of angered wild beasts before reaching the lair of a witch who tried to harvest their hearts for dark rituals. They defended themselves, Mark himself landing the final blow with a well placed streak of energy,
Upon discovery of their actions, the group was reprimanded before being offered positions in a new force the marines were creating to combat other powered individuals with aspirations to bring down the United Stats of America.
Seven months later Mark was dishonorably discharged and now sulks in his parents house, drinking beers and refusing to work. He doesn't consider delving, sure it is beneath him, but as his funds and parent's patience dwindle it looks more and more appealing.
