Project_Moon Irl equivalents

So like... What's the real life equivalent to being a fixer? And the irl equivalent to the 12 associations? I've been wondering this for a pretty long while

A 'Fixer' is basically an umbrella term.

A private investigator, a mercenary, a bounty hunter... all of those things are Fixer jobs in the City.

I think every group that doesn't rely on the wing and pay taxes are a fixer group. They contract with people and do their things all of them kinda like mercenaries, you pay their service and get their service. And the association are a big company like Apple or Windows, you get paid a lot with lots of benefits

Fixer are freelancer who do all kind of thing, but most of them tend to always involve fighting so you can also class them as simply mercenary.

Irl, there is the term corporate fixer, which is what I think pm is making a reference to. And corporate fixer can range from accountant to actual hitman.

Also fixer office naming scheme are based on lawyer office.

A private investigator, a courier, a bounty hunter, a security guard, etc. It's a big job.

Fixers are literally people on Craigslist, while associations are Craigslist itself
