## Biologist | ## Biologist | ||
+ | |||
+ | Being fed up with the University's passiveness someone wants to try - or teach others to really do something with their knowledge about biology or chemistry. They start with simple [PCRs](http://openpcr.org/) or [centrifuges](https://diybio.org/2012/06/11/dremelfuge-classic/). Usually really excited they're doing something "off the grid". Rarely Grinders or Cooks. | ||

+ | Worth checking: [DIY BIO](https://diybio.org/) and [Biohacking Safari](http://biohackingsafari.com/) | ||

+ | Cryptocurrencies will bring anonymity, freedom and flexibility to the markets - and salvation to the world. They can be [Cypherpunks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk) or startup enthusiasts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When they learn more about crypto (and if they aren't hardcore anarchists), they change into Blockchain Evangelist, seeing the money-giving distributed databases as a huge chance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | People who invested in BTC before the hype started - even if they spent all 10kBTC on pizza - tend to be more cynical and laid off about the subject. | ||

+ | ## Community Organizer / Cat Herder | ||
+ | |||
+ | Not every Space has them, but this person usually "runs" the space: handles legal status, tries to resolve conflicts and dramas, comes up with hackathon ideas and organizes most of the events. Sometimes it's the same person as [[characters:archetypes#garbage_woman|Garbage Woman]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Personally I'd like not to have a single person fulfilling that role, but rather a dynamic balance between (Adam)[characters:main:adam], [Robert](characters:main:robert) and [Amanda](characters:main:amanda). To read more, see subpage [Why not cat herder?](characters:archetypes:cat_herder) | ||
## Composer | ## Composer | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## Cook | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cooks all kind of strange drugs. Rarely dealing with anything "popular" or gang-related, usually surfs the DarkNet to find obscure medical papers about substances rejected from pharmaceutic use for their side effects. Sometimes a Grinder or Biologist. | ||

## Father | ## Father | ||
+ | |||
+ | Usually a former active member, now attends the Space with his kids. He wants to teach them how to learn hands-on, not only at a school desk. Usually has very little time, dropping by no more often than once a week. Sometimes makes money by using his Space-acquired skills. | ||

## Networker | ## Networker | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## NGO Activist | ||
+ | |||
+ | Someone dedicated to their cause so deeply that they agreed to become an almost-starving wage-slave of a foundation of other NGO. Their main skill is local politics and knowing how to get grants for different projects and do the books properly. Usually miserable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In rare cases when they have other source of income / are at the top of their organization, can be really bossy / claim other people's work as theirs. In that case - charismatic and / or vile. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sometimes the same person as the Activist. | ||
+ | |||
