 Viktor has taken on a variety of jobs in his life. He's not particularly picky about the type of work, but he's anything but a 9to5 paper pusher. He vastly prefers manual labor that keeps his hands busy. Some of his past jobs have been more formative than others, allowing him to develop skills that have served him well even outside of work. Others were more focused solely on simply putting food on the table.
 
 <job @title="Bartender" @icon="fa6-solid:whiskey-glass">
-  Viktor's professional career began as a bartender at a pub in his hometown. There he often doubled as a bouncer when a few guests got too drunk and started making a fuss. A defining moment of that job was when someone climbed over the counter and threatened him with a broken bottle. Wrestled to the ground and with a broken bottle in front of his face, he had to make a split-second decision. With a powerful swing of his tail bone, he knocked the attacker down. This experience taught him the importance of effectively defending himself against unpleasant fellows and to eliminate threats before they get close to him ever again.
+  Viktor worked his first job as a bartender, helping out his uncle at the local pub. Initially he served drinks from the tap behind the counter and cleaning dishes. A pivotal moment during his time there came when someone who had a few too many drinks climbed over the counter and threatened him with a broken bottle. In a do-or-die moment, Viktor reacted on instinct, flung the cudgel at the end of his tail and landed a decisive blow to knock them down. This harrowing experience hardened him up and landed him a double role as the bar's bouncer. He garnered a reputation as the guy you don't mess around with, lest you left with less teeth than you came with.

 <job @title="Lumberjack" @icon="fa6-solid:tree">
-  After leaving his hometown, Viktor started working as a lumberjack. The club at the end of his tail came very much in handy as a counterweight for each swing of his axe, allowing him to strike efficiently and powerfully, felling even the largest trees with relative ease. His naturally tough scales protected him from splinters from the felled wood. The long-lasting hard physical work toughened his body over the years. Before taking the cut logs to the sawmill, Viktor always took a break to rest in the peace and quiet of the forest. Although he enjoyed the seclusion of the country life for a while, he was longing for the sociability of city life again.
+  After leaving his hometown, Viktor embarked on a new career as a lumberjack, where his unique physiology proved to be a valuable asset. The club at the tip of his tail served as a counterweight for each swing of his axe, enabling him to land precise and powerful strikes. His body's naturally tough scales also protected him from flying splinters, while the hard physical work helped to toughen his physique over time. Viktor enjoyed to take breaks in the forest's peaceful solitude before hauling the cut logs to the sawmill. He grew to enjoy the seclusion of the rural life the work brought with it, but over time he realized he missed the connectedness a city or suburb provided. This ultimately led him to seek out new ventures.

 <job @title="Car Mechanic" @icon="fa6-solid:car">
-  Moving into a suburban town, Viktor applied at an auto repair shop, where he learned the ins and outs of fixing cars. He became really good at it and enjoyed breathing new mechanical life into broken down vehicles. However, as time went on, the repair shop faced financial troubles, as it became increasingly difficult to come by spare parts as auto makers would only deal them to certified repair partners and certifications were prohibitively expensive. Viktor had to watch business slowly deteriorate, as skilled coworkers kept getting laid off, until the repair shop closed down for good.
+  Moving to a suburban town, Viktor landed a job at an auto repair shop, where he learned the ins and outs of fixing cars. He quickly became adept at breathing new life into broken-down vehicles and he enjoyed it thoroughly. However, as time went on, the shop faced significant challenges, including a dwindling supply of spare parts. Automobile manufacturers started to only distribute these parts to certified repair partners—which was a costly and time-consuming process. As the financial struggles mounted, Viktor witnessed the business gradually deteriorate. He saw skilled coworkers get laid off as the shop's revenue declined, until it ultimately had to close down for good.

 <job @title="Construction Worker" @icon="fa6-solid:helmet-safety">
-  Having taken a liking in physically demanding work, Viktor took on a job as a construction worker. Hard hat perched atop his head and belt tool slung around his waist, he was always ready to lend a hand (or tail if walls or boulders needed a good teardown). Since he had more than enough strength training from his previous jobs, he was often assigned carrying jobs to clear the site and haul building materials. After work was done, Viktor enjoyed the company of his colleagues over an after-work beer until late in the evenings. On one of these evenings, he got a little reckless with a colleague under the veil of the night and both were caught in the act of fooling around with each other on the construction site. In the following weeks, the colleagues kept their distance from Viktor and the evenings together also dissolved very quickly when he joined them. The continued ostracization ultimately prompted him to look for something new.
+  Realizing he quite enjoyed physically demanding work, Viktor went on to work at construction sites, where his unique skills were put to good use. With his hard hat firmly in place and belt tool at the ready, he was always prepared to lend a hand–or tail, if walls or boulders needed a good teardown. Given that previous ventures honed his body thoroughly, Viktor was often tasked with heavy lifting, clearing sites, and hauling building materials. The highlight of his day was the daily get-together with coworkers after work. One of those nights he got a little reckless, however: when Viktor and a coworker stepped out and didn't come back for quite a while, both were caught in the act of fooling around with each other on the construction site. After that, coworkers kept their distance to Viktor, and evenings spent together became increasingly brief once Viktor joined them. As ostracism continued to mount, Viktor realized it was time to explore new opportunities.

 <job @title="Welder" @icon="fa6-solid:industry">
-  In his job as a welder, Viktor spent his days working shifts in a workshop. In addition to special tools and plasma welders, he also used his powerful tail club to hammer metal parts into shape. He acquired a wide variety of welding techniques to join or repair metal structures. He worked with a wide variety of alloys such as steel, aluminum and titanium. Viktor showed extreme skill in his work with great precision and attention to detail. However, this dedication was a thorn in the side of a jealous colleague who saw Viktor as a rival and schemed against him, sabotaging his work, which ultimately ended in his termination after a customer sued the welding shop for botching the job. Viktor never found out who the culprit was, and the loss of that job still hangs over him.
+  Viktor proved to have a hand as a welder and spent his days working shifts in a workshop, where he utilized his unique combination of tools and techniques to create precise, high-quality work. His powerful tail club proved particularly useful for shaping metal parts, while gaining knowledge on how to work with various alloys. However, a jealous coworker saw a rival in Viktor and began to sabotage his work, secretly tampering with the equipment or undermining his techniques. After enough jobs Viktor worked on were botched and him not able to give any explanation, he was ultimately let go after a customer sued the welding shop for damages—an event that still weighs heavily on him.

 <job @title="Delivery Driver" @icon="fa6-solid:truck">
-  When Viktor was strapped for cash, he took on a job in the gig economy as a driver delivering packages for a large online delivery service. His previous physically demanding jobs allowed him to haul even bulky deliveries to their destination with relative ease. If the shipping center managers hadn't been breathing down his neck constantly, he might have held this job even longer. But after one of the managers tried to show him up in front of the whole team, he snapped and broke their leg with his tail club. Of course, he didn't have to report for duty the next day.
+  When Viktor was strapped for cash, he found himself turning to the gig economy, working as a delivery driver for a major online delivery service. It wasn't the most challenging work, but at least he had no significant trouble hauling hauling heavy packages to their destinations. If only the supervisors hadn't been constantly breathing down his neck, he might've even kept the job for longer. But after one of the shift managers tried to show him up in front of the whole team, Viktor finally snapped and shattered one of the manager's kneecaps with the club on the tip of his tail. Of course, he didn't have to report for duty the next day, or ever for that matter.

 <job @title="Docks Werehouse Worker" @icon="fa6-solid:boxes-stacked">
-  Currently Viktor works at the docks in the port town he moved to. His main responsibilities include loading and unloading cargo from ships and transporting it to and from warehousing. The hustle and bustle of the port sometimes gets on his nerves. Especially when the crew of docking ships come ashore again after a long time and make it clear that they don't have much contact with \"landlubbers\". Viktor doesn't get particularly impressed by this and foul mouths them right back if he gets the impression they're looking for trouble.
+  Currently, Viktor works at the docks in the port town where he relocated. Among his responsibilities is the loading and unloading of cargo to and from ships via forklift and other transport vehicles. He's also responsible for checking that cargo arrived intact and consumables didn't spoil on the way. The hustle and bustle of the port sometimes gets on his nerves, but he manages. At least until the crew members from docking ships arrive ashore after extended periods at sea and start strutting around all high and mighty. Viktor finds himself butting heads with them a lot due to their tendency to look down on "landlubbers" and his low tolerance for their bullshit. Over time, however, he established his status somewhat and the crew members dialed back their attitude around him.
