What Jobs Would the Different Xeno Castes have in the Real World?

I think lesser drones would essentially be most minimal skill, minimum wage type jobs. At a McDonalds, Starbucks, grocery store, that sort of thing.

Ravagers are probably professional body builders, WWE fighters, or sigma male role models on Instagram that tell you to hate women and just exercise all your problems away.

I think a Hivelord could have fairly varied jobs. They could be an engineer, a mechanic, plumber, surveyor. Really anything to do with repairs, creating, assessing, that sorta thing. They might even be at the head of a project, or in a generally higher position where they delegate what others are doing.

Despoilers are probably unemployed. Or a Twitch streamer.

I would reckon a lot of defenders would be bodyguards. But like, not for big famous and important people, moreso for the front of a business, or a bouncer at a club/bar. Some of them might even be police officers.

I could think of some more for the rest, but tell me what sorta jobs you think the xenos would have in the real world.

Spitters would be famous for creating a viral meme in 2024 and then go on to do a crypto scam themed after the meme and also start a podcast.

“Here is your Xish Xillet with large Xries”; they hand me my receipt and it says my cashier was Lesser Drone 683.

EDIT: Lurkers are probably purse snatchers. Or day traders. Take your pick.

drones are working retail, froot drones are running their own small business that’s ONLY profitable if the owner hires no one and is pulling 18 hour shifts.

The irony is tangible, but I think the entire hive would work for ICE

Most Runners are competitive and mourn when they step on a landmine or get PB backshots
