Applications
These roles exist in every village. Scroll to each region for unique jobs tied to local culture and economy — pick work that fits where your character lives.
On Discord, each character can use /job work once per day (one successful shift per Eastern calendar day; the counter resets at midnight Eastern). Run it in your OC's home village bot channel — the Roleplay text channel on the Pokimono server that matches their home region (not every channel in that category). Exact names and steps on Mechanics → Jobs → Village work).
Each shift rolls Gathering, Combat, Crafting, or Culture for most jobs — the same job can feel like a different kind of workday from shift to shift, and mon, items, reputation, and mechanical side effects (HP, status, and similar) follow that roll. Workshop materials in your shared bag keep Crafting in that random pool when your job can craft a matching recipe; they do not lock the shift to Crafting. Leader, Guardian, and Sentinel always take a Culture shift.
You can stop at the bot line or spin a short in-character follow-up from it if you like — never required. See Job mechanics → Optional roleplay after a shift.
Village berry farms on Discord use /berryfarm tend; whichever OC tends adds a small bonus on rolls that match their job and earns a little reputation for that OC. Read how on Berry farming.
Broad catch-all for roles that do not fall under the other listed jobs — everyday labor and craft: builders, shopkeepers, housekeepers, servants, clerks, and similar steady work that keeps village life running.
Tending fields and rice paddies — rigorous work with little rest through the seasons, feeding the region and supporting brewers and markets.
Pots, cloth, jewelry, lacquer, dye, and small repairs — workshop trades that fill markets and outfit homes and shrines, plus banners, mask carving, and painted detail when a job calls for it.
Sun Empire
Only the very brave dare to live in this region, with its extreme temperatures and rocky terrain. The rusty-red plains surrounding the mountain are a popular spot for artists and, despite the heat, are also well known for having very fertile farming land. The mountain, on the other hand, is rough and unforgiving, and thunderstorms often strike without warning.
Mapmakers and pathfinders who brave harsh terrain, report on unknown places, and serve as scouts and guides thanks to deep knowledge of the land.
Household sword-bearers who keep bushidō and guard the village; masterless rōnin between lords; and pragmatic pursuers sent after fugitives and difficult captives when charters and contracts call for steel — the backbone of local order and defense.
Dojo regulars, tournament fighters, and adepts who polish forms, striking, and grappling as their main path — discipline through practice and matches, often teaching or competing more than standing household watch.
Partners with farmers for rice and craft fine sake sold across Pokimono — ceremony, trade, and tavern culture all depend on them.
Keeps herds healthy for milk, wool, labor, and meat — vital to both diet and the wider economy.
Tracks and brings down game to sell or eat — quick, quiet, and precise enough to face dangerous beasts.
Sun Empire
This secret village is dark and shrouded in mystery. A dense forest surrounds the crystal-studded caverns that the villagers call home, and a river runs through the center of the village. Some say that the only way to find the way out of the maze of caves is to follow the river out to the forest, but more experienced—and sneaky—villagers know plenty of hidden caves and tunnels that lead in and around the region.
Tracks and brings down game to sell or eat — quick, quiet, and precise enough to face dangerous beasts.
Covert operatives for dirty work the public would rather not acknowledge — fast, merciless, and often distrusted.
Brewers of powerful concoctions — not healers. Their wares skew dangerous or illicit and often drift toward the black market.
Forges weapons, armor, and tools from metal and wood — essential to miners, hunters, and anyone who needs steel they can trust.
Seeks unclaimed riches, especially gems deep in the tunnels — methods are not always legal.
Steady tunnel work alongside treasure hunters — less glamour, more grit: ore, minerals, and safe passages through the maze below.
Sun Empire
Far in the north, this large region has a very diverse climate. The northernmost part of this region is perpetually covered in snow, while the southernmost part, which borders the ocean, is a much warmer, pleasant temperature. This region is rich in lumber, fishing, unexplored terrain and, most famously, shrines. Be careful, though—even on the peaceful coast, violent storms have been known to pop up every now and again.
Harvest from rivers and sea: fish, shellfish, crabs, and more — a coastal and river trade staple.
Keeps sacred places, leads prayer, and confronts malign spirits — faith made practice in a land of shrines.
Treats wounds and illness and prepares wholesome potions and herbal cures — the compassionate counterpart to Noir Vale’s darker brewers.
Temple fighters devoted to Arceus — fierce, solitary, and answering only to the highest priests.
Researchers and teachers the villages consult for hard questions — younger characters still in training count as apprentice scholars.
Delivers medicine, coin, parcels, and messages others are too busy to carry — fast feet and a streetwise memory for routes.
Sun Empire
This sprawling merchant city is located at the southernmost coast of the Sun Empire. Settled between the natural harbor to the east and impassable mountains to the west, Radiant Harbor is a sailor’s paradise. It is a hot spot for traders from the Jade Imperium, Soul Kingdom, Bronze Coast, and Azure Islands, and as such it sees every kind of person in its streets. Whether stopping through on a sea voyage or keeping a permanent home among the walled mansions of the city’s elite, some inhabitants are unlike any seen before in the rest of the Sun Empire—a whole new generation of colorful Pokémon gijinka. Together they make Radiant Harbor a lavish and luxurious place to behold.

Delivers medicine, coin, parcels, and messages others are too busy to carry — fast feet and a streetwise memory for routes.
Captains and traders who sail to distant realms — sharp at both rigging and ledger, and full of news from abroad.
Song, dance, tea, and salon conversation — kabuki halls to private tea rooms. Any gender (courtesan, tayū, taikomochi, or geisha traditions). Stage-first, or work where red lanterns mean discretion pays.
Private seers tied to stars, spirits, or patron powers — fortune-telling, cleansing, invocation, and other rites at the edge of common faith.
Descends to hidden coves for pearls and salvage — risky water and sharp rock, but the haul can change a life.
Isles & shores
Islands and shores outside the major regions—places of pilgrimage, exile, and whispers on the charts.
