Acftually, we have a large number of friendly (?) NPC's hanging around. Of
course, we're primarily a 2 man team, so making friends was a priority early
on, I believe right after the pizza dude kicked Johnny's ass... Here's a
small list.
Goober- Dwarven armorer. Can get ahold of just about any weapon or gear we
need. We lost track of him after the Bugs hit, but have since hooked back
up with him. I used to have to pay him in Magic Cards (as a joke off one of
the cards.).
Marie- My (Bull's) wife. A human who was a waitres at a local resteraunt.
Xuxa- A talismonger and enchanting adept. Jonny's wife. (one of two)
Becky- Former Rat shaman, not Mantis Host, leader of a sizable group of
Mantid in chcago. Jhonny's other wife.
Reba- My daughter. A rfour year old ork (about 12 years old physically,
and sometimes mentally) who shows great potential for magic as a mage.
Knows quite a few spells already, most of which are at force one. Favorite
spell, Syburban Removal (she couldn't pronounce Urban Renewal when she first
learned it.).
Billy- My Son, Reba's twin brother. He was running with a group of kids in
bug city, apparently Otaku,and had a datajack put in. (He was missing for a
while, and it took me some time to track him down.) He is an otaku now.
Likes to harrass me about my deck performance. Is also a natural with
hardware in computers.
Tailspin- An aging coyote shaman with a penchent for "magic" mushrooms.
Penthisil- Former burned out mage. Sacrificed himself to destroy two large
insect queens and their shamans. Later came back as a ghost/free
spirit/something. We are looking into finding a clone body for him.
Daytripper- A former hearth spirit (from one of our old houses) who went
free. Used to appear as Mr. Furley (Don Knotts) from 3's company. now has
more of his own personality. We feed him on a regular bases, and he's been
with the family for over three years (game time). Was in bug city and was
intrumental in helping out their, and has since movewd to Cleveland with us.
Stands With A Fist- Tailspin's niece. Nice girl, good in a fight. No real
special abilities.
Shark and Spill- Two enormous Trolls. They run a local gang called the
Spike Wheels, of which we are honorary members.
Joey- A former Chicago cop. He disappeared after bug city hit, and thought
dead. Last time we went into the CZ, though, we ran into him, although he
changed. He's now a ghoul.
Adam Hammond- The (renamed from the BC book) leader of the ghouls in Chicago.
Adrienne- A former live in lover of Johnny's (as well as XGuxa and Becky).
She turned out to be a Mantis, the leasder of another group in (and out) of
chicago known as Vixen.
Diamond- Elf decker based out of Atlanta.
Plughead- Fledgling decker who almost got fried helping me run on
Aztechnology. I've sunce taken him under my wing to teach.
Well, that's a somewhat comprehensive list, and I think I covered most of
the bigger payers. We also knowsome of the big names in the shadowrun
world: Fastjack, Shiva, Bash, Harlequin, Kyle and Peryanwyr. Also, we've
met at least a few others that we don't know about...:)
Yeah, i'd dsay we use NPC's a lot...:)
