Well, my character is proficiant with guns and swords, so I dunno what he'd fit under... 😕

Soldier still fits. You normally get two weapon group proficiencies (one from your occupation's list, one of your choice), but the soldier and bouncer get two from their lists.

UPDATE: I've decided to put down the weapon groups and the lists for each occupation (don't worry, I'll group all the rules together on a freewebs site, or in a new thread once I'm done).
Weaopn groups are Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns, Swords (sword-like items, such as metal poles, go under this), Staffs (staff-like items go here), Knives (screwdrivers, chisels, and the like are here), Axes (chainsaws are here, for some reason), Thrown (that means any weaopns you can throw at them), and Improvised Weapons (anything not meant to be a weapon).

Evangelists can choose from Swords or Staffs.
Soldiers can choose two from Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns, Thrown, or Axes.
Bouncers can choose two from Swords, Staffs, Axes, Thrown, or Handguns.
Thieves can choose Knives, Thrown, or Swords.
Priests can only choose Staffs.

Okay, then. Bouncer for me.

Okay, but you'll need good reason for it. This takes place around 2010, so any bladed weapons won't be found too often...

But as an Evangelist... I can have a sword or a staff, yeah? So a rapier...

The weapon groups are for weapons similar to that of the name, so you could use sword-LIKE or staff-LIKE weapons.
For instance, let's say random_person made a bouncer and wanted to use axes. Unless he could give me a good reason through PMs, I'd only let him use a chainsaw, the only modern weapon in the ax category. A good reason would be anything such as family heirloom, given to every member of the cult the person belongs to, or something to the effect that they didn't just find or buy it.

Same thing applies there; you need a good reason to get any medieval/feudalism era weapons.

I have just remembered a weapon group I forgot to post earlier: bows. It's pretty obvious what goes under here. And crossbows go under rifles (hand crossbows are considered handguns).

Because of the three weapon group proficiencies that bouncers get, you get to choose one more group, Bardiel.

Improvised Weaponry as stated in the profile.

UPDATE: The Evnagelist occupation is now being modified to work more like the paladin than the sorcerer or cleric. That means a little more focus on fighting and the spells will come at later levels. If you wish to focus more on "magic", go with the priest.

Meh, as long as I can chant prayers out loud... I'll stay Evangelist.

Could perhaps my Evangelist be an old noble family from out of Europe? So the sword that won them their title is his weapon. A rapier.

As long as he didn't just find it, buy it from someone, or did something to that effect.

Trickster True KMC Jester

Right. Well that's settled.

leana marie Empress

fine, i wont use a samurai sword, and since im an evengalist, and i can heal, what should my weapon be then? poisons, devised from mixing medicines?

Your weapon could be a staff or a sword-like weapon, such as a length of PVC or bamboo.
