Much better! Wow. I never expected *you* of all people to drag a topic On
Topic.

Hrm...

Animal would be a Cyberzombie, of a Shaman of Coyote. ;)
Ummm... Kermit would be a fixer.
Ms Piggy would be ... Bambi! (Sorry, its' an inside joke from an old group I
played with.)
Nah. Fozzie is a Coyote Shaman.
Animal is just Animal. ;)

I give up. Someone else take a try.

Some ideas:
Picture Dr. Benson Honeydew as a Street Doc, of course. Or maybe one of
those "nova-hot" cyberware designers that work in the Delta Clinics. Somebody
had to come up with Move-By-Wire. :)
Miss Piggy would be a Phys. Adept because nobody can yell "Hiiiiiii-Yaaaaa"
followed up with a "killing hands" karate chop like she can.
I vote for Animal as a Cyberzombie.
Gonzo would work as a shaman, but I don't think they have Chicken Shamans do
they? He has way too many chickens following him around to be any other kind.
If that doesn't work he can be a rigger since he is known to try death defying
jumps on his motorcycle and other bizarre actions involving vehicles.
Rolf the Dog could revamp his role on Veterinarian's Hospital and run a
clinic for the down and out runner.
There are more but it's late here, so I quit.

OK but I've got better things to do. B>]#

Harlequin - Kermit (he's always the protagonist)
Meria Mercurial - Miss Piggy
Damein Knight - Scooter
Ehran - Sam the Eagle (I think that's his name)
Dunkelzahn - Big Bird
Universal Brotherhood - Chickens and not insects (Gonzo is a Shaman you
know)

I hope that's a good enough start for you.

This brings back a late night session we once had. The mage had summoned
a gaggle of watchers (8 if memory serves) consisting of one force 2 and
the rest at force 1. I can't recall how it happened, but by consensus
the force 2 was Gonzo and the force 1 watchers were all chickens. This
of course only got funnier as during a combat, the force 2 was screaming
and flailing its arms at the unlucky elemental while the force 1 watchers
were clucking and pecking at it. And they beat it.

I've decided that I want to run a cheesy adventure using all the
below listed characters as NPCs. I'm going to call it "The Muffets
Take Denver" (replace Denver with another city if you want) staring
Statler and Waldorf Muffet as two power hungry old men bent on taking
over Denver. Anyway, I'd like some help. What's a good basic plot (how
are the Muffet brothers planning on taking Denver?) and I need NPC roles
to be filled (just the basics like Animal could be a troll/PA).
