Instead of the entire Dynamis ordeal, I wanted to focus on the area itself and the races that are there; basically, I was making a character that could conceivably fit in with one of the races. For that, I need to get the job figured out first; I was considering Machinist, since the Omicrons, Grebuloff, and Karellians all use guns an advanced technology.

Aside from Machinist, though; what jobs do you guys think fit with the races of Ultima Thule?
Personally, either Dark Knight or Summoner.

The lore of Dark Knights is all about confronting a seemingly insurmountable and never ending task, for there will always be people who want to harm others, who will use tools and institutions to cover themselves even as they leave innocent people to suffer. And yet a Dark Knight acts to help such innocents, even if the task is endless, even as the faces change and yes even if means scorn and misery... because some things are worth enduring that misery for and in a place like Ultima Thule that conviction is a powerful thing to hold.

I find Summoner fits as well because of their harnessing of primal energies. Primals are nothing less than a manifestation of faith made possible through a potent enough energy source. That faith is important, moreso than any objective or provable fact: Ifrit is not just a being of fire, he is the inspiration that the Amalj'aa look to in dark times. Titan is not just a being of earth to the Kobolds, he is a father figure, a nurturing nourishing force. It was that faith which shaped them, their societies and how they responded to the world around them. Those in Ultima Thule however don't believe in anything, not even life meaning or otherwise. So I think there is something meaningful about going through that land as a job which manifests those incarnations of meaning.
