Space...The final frontier.

List of Important NPCs - Page 2

This will be a constantly growing list of important characters which the party has met. I will try to keep it as current as possible throughout the campaign.


Star Wolf
Race: Terrorian
Occupation: Space Pirate
Legends and myths have sprung up around this most infamous space pirate. Even some video games have been based around his feared reputation. His appearance more than lives up to these rumours. Clearly a Terrorian, Star Wolf, as his name suggests, appears to be a humanoid wolf, and is covered with silver fur. He has blue hair in a mohawk, and wears a black flight uniform emblazoned with his symbol. And, like any real pirate, he wears an eyepatch over one eye. Cruel and cunning, Star Wolf is truly one of the top pilots roaming the reaches of space. His skills have often saved the other members of his wolf pack, and together they have destroyed many galactic ships. Wolf is also the sworn enemy of Falco Lombardo, likely due to the fact that destroyed most of Falco's former team.

The Great Leon
Race: Terrorian
Occupation: Space Pirate
Another Terrorian pilot, Leon has served on the Star Wolf team for many years. His piloting skills make his own appelation almost deserved, thanks partly to his chameleon camoflouge, which allows him to avoid many lazer blasts. In person, Leon appears to be a humanoid chameleon, with green skin and bulbous eyes. He wears a white flight uniform, and is known , unsurprisingly, for his great ego.

Andrew
Race: Arsan
Occupation: Space Pirate, and Nephew of Andross
The last member of the Star Wolf team, Andrew is subordinate to any orders issued by Wolf or Leon. A monkeyish looking man, he has short black hair, a very large, red nose and wears a sloppy flight suit. His piloting skill is very much below the level of his companions, and he is more reknowned for his whining remarks than his kill ration. However, he is the nephew of Andross, one of Star Wolf's best employers, and thus is able to keep his place on the team.

Kenny Rogers
Race: Denchulli
Occupation: Country Singer
The founder of Kenny Rogers Roasters, Kenny is an intergalactically acclaimed country singer. Of course, only the Denchulli really seem to like country music. Rogers was an older man with white hair and a thick beard. His clothing matched with all expectations: A white ten-gallon hat, western style suit, and a gigantic belt buckle which might serve as some sort of armor. Kenny also carried his guitar with him at all times and was always ready to break into some sort of song about his pick-up truck. A cooking pioneer, Rogers had discovered a set of ten secret herbs and spices which could add perfect flavor to a roasted chicken. His other innovation would have to be the idea of roasting chicken over a wood fire. He was also known for his dislike of Lucky, a fellow Denchulli. Apparently, he had tried to obtain the little fellow's 'pot of gold' in the past.

Diego Zapata
Race: Fenixan
Occupation: Computer Science Graduate Student
A swarthy-faced Fenixan with dark hair and a bright Hawaiien shirt, Diego can never be found without his powerful laptop. He speaks with a thick Spanish accent, and although he may be more than a little out of shape, he has clearly great computer skills. In fact, he has apparently invented a powerful new programming language called "Yava". Not only that, Diego is a renowned webmaster and website developer. His philosophy towards making a great webpage involves using many pictures and fixating on the history of computers, all the way back to the abacus. Diego came to the station to help Professor Grassmann with his research.

Newt
Race: Spheran
Occupation: Little Girl
The occupation quite clearly describes the character. Newt was a little girl with tangled brown hair, wearing a dirty dress. Apparently, her family's spacecraft had crashed on the asteroid some time ago, leaving her to fend for herself. In order to escape the monsters on the surface, she had hidden inside the caves. Although likely deeply traumatized by the loss of her family, she displays typical youthful curiosity and eagerness to explore, although she's also found more than her share of fear.

Arkady Ourumov
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: The General
A master of tactics, Ourumov is clad in a green soivet military uniform complete with a general's hat. He carries an RD-51 rifle, and can use it with deadly accuracy. The General was in charge of security for the Freedom Fighters. His cunning tactics mostly included crazy traps, some of which worked much better than they should.

Random Task
Race: Loracian
Occupation: Freedom Fighter who does odd jobs
Officially responsable for all odd jobs around the complex, Random Task is a short man clad in a neat, black suit. His appearance can be deceiving. His seemingly harmless black bowler hat is actually lined with admorite, and rumours suggest his shoes are also deadly weapons. Not only that, his diminutive height also makes him extremely hard to hit in combat.

Dexan
Race: Spheran
Occupation: Smuggler
Dexan was the leader of the Freedom Fighters, and the only one not inspired by Goldeneye. A rough man with dirty blond hair and a blue flight jacket, his skill with the art was considerable. As the head of the smuggling ring, he was in charge of insuring that all operations ran smoothly. This included eliminating intruders, though it did not preclude him from gambling with them first.

Boris
Race: Tortalian
Occupation: Computers Specialist
By his own description, this computers expert was 'INVINCIBLE!'. A small Tortalian, wearing glasses and a Hawaiien shirt, Boris spent more time raving about his computer abilities than actually doing anything useful. He was constantly clicking on one of his pens, which could actually explode when used in battle. His skills were somewhat proven by the ease with which he hacked into the Starfleet database.

Big Boy
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Freedom Fighter Accountant
As the accountant of the smuggling ring, Big Boy was also in charge of eating everything in sight. A massive man in a black suit, with dark hair and a red tie, Big Boy used his sheer size as a weapon when forced into combat. His greatest fear was that someone would force him into taking some sort of diet. This guy definitely couldn't move very fast, but when he got somewhere, it would take alot to move him.

Guido
Race: Terrorian
Occupation: Captain of a Spheran Trading Vessel
Most who have seen the original Star Wars probably don't remember Guido. He wasn't a very memorable character, and rightly so. His skin is green, and he has bulbous black eyes. Guido wears an orange flight uniform with a gun-belt around his waist. Although he claimed to be the captain of a Spheran merchant vessel on its way to Electra, no one could really bring themselves to believe him. That is likely due to the incredible aura of suspicion which hung over Guido at all times. In combat, he was more than willing to use his PK-97. However, he also had an incredible fast-draw move, with which he could whip his gun out and fire a shot in record time. Of course, this shot decreased his accuracy so much that he could hardly hit any target at all, let alone someone sitting across the table from him.

Captain Hastings
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Hercule Poirot's Action-Oriented Assistant
A retired Captain in the Deksiilan army, Hastings is a man of action. Usually dressed in a dignified grey suit and red tie, with combed grey hair, he is not afraid to use the PK-43 he carries with him at all times. Although it has been said that Hastings lacks certain observational skills, he does show incredible enthusiasm for his work, and genuine British amazement at Poirot's incredible deductions. Of course, for those who already know about this man, the above would be stating the obvious. Which is something else Hastings likes to do. He also likes any sort of new technology and machinery. In fact, it was mainly due to his urging that Poirot agreed to come visit this 'amazing' space station.

Neo
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Technician
By day, Neo was a model technician, but by night he was a master hacker. Unlike the grey of most technicians, his coveralls were black in color, just like his hair and gloves. Slightly more distinctive was the fact that he wore dark sunglasses at all times, despite being in space. This habit was hardly strange at all compared to some of the crazy ideas Neo seemed to enjoy mentioning. His excuse for hacking things somehow seemed to involve something called the Matrix. According to him, no one could be told what the Matrix was; you had to see it for yourself. In combat, Neo had impressive martial-arts skills, and could also move in slow motion, allowing him to avoid most bullets.

Professor Plum
Race: Tortalian
Occupation: Scientist
Prof. Plum was a bumbling and forgetful professor who worked for Mr. Body's company. Clad in a purple suit, balding and with spectacles and a pipe, he certainly looked the part. However, he hardly seemed to know what he was talking about as far as research was concerned. His alibi during the killing included a dance with Miss Scarlet and some paperwork in the Study. Throughout the day, he had been armed with the Rope.

Mr. Green
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Capitalist
Quite justly reputed as a bully, Mr. Green was a financier who sat on the board of Mr. Body's company. A big man in a green suit, with grey hair and a sharp temper, he was fully capable of engaging and winning any sort of brawl. He had watched Plum dance with Scarlet, and then had gone to the kitchen for a snack. During the investigation, he returned there several times for more food. His weapon was the Wrench.

Colonel Mustard
Race: Electran
Occupation: Colonel in the Electran Military
It has often been said (by me) that the best strategy in a game of Clue is to accuse Colonel Mustard. A man of military bearing, the good Colonel had brown hair, a mustache, a monocle, and a banana-yellow suit. He had gone on several hunting trips with the late Mr. Body. He was always ready to engage in a duel, and had spent the day in the Billiards Room, allegedly playing against only himself. He was armed with the Revolver.

Miss Scarlet
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Actress
Miss Scarlet was one of Mr. Body's favorite actresses, although few could say why. A young dark-haired woman, she always wore a red dress and had a penchant for fainting at every possible opportunity. After dancing with Prof. Plum, her alibi included going to the lounge to relax. This statement was backed up by Mrs. White, which made things more interesting, since Miss Scarlet was armed with the knife.

Mrs. White
Race: Arsan
Occupation: Maid
Mr. Body's bitter maid, she had worked for him for many years and enjoyed nothing more than spreading gossip and suspicion about all the others. Mrs. White was dressed for her occupation in a black dress with a white maid's cap and apron. She had spent time cleaning in the lounge during the time of the crime, eliminating her and Miss Scarlet, unless the two were in league. She came armed with the lead pipe.

Mrs. Peacock
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Socialite
A high-browed aristocratic type, Mrs. Peacock had met Mr. Body many times at high social functions. She deplored bad manners of any sort, and found most of Mr. Body's other guests to be completely unacceptable. Especially Miss. Scarlet, who she called a two-bit floozy, and Mr. Green, who was just rude. A well-bred woman, she always wore an elegant blue dress with many peacock feathers. She was armed with the candlestick, and her alibi involved a visit to the Dining Room to inspect other such weapons.

Moriarty
Race: Tortalian
Occupation: Master Criminal
An intergalactic master criminal, Moriarty had disguised himself as Professor Plum with the hopes of inheriting that portion of the Body fortune. A tall man, shrouded in black, Moriarty had dark hair and a dark, twisting goatee. As well as the Rope, he also carried a skull-tipped cane. Throughout his career, this villain has faced Poirot many times, and will probably do so many more times to come. In combat Moriary could make use of incredible psychic powers to bring down his foes.

Penny
Race: Electran
Occupation: Reporter
Penny was a self-proclaimed star reporter for N.E.W.S. news. A woman with short blond hair, a white suit, she made good use of her dazzlingly white teeth to steal the spotlight on every story. Although she was always trying to find a scoop, she wanted to be sure that she herself was in the center of it. Penny came to Epsilon accompanied by her camera crew, which she had only met very recently. She didn't seem to be hunting any particular story, but would gladly film any controversy she could find. As long as she could be featured prominently in any such interview.

Rastipopeles
Race: Chalchakian
Occupation: Cameraman
Penny's cameraman seemed to know a lot more about what was going on than she did. Though his name was not discovered for some time, Rastipopeles was constantly accompanying Penny, lugging a heavy camera and leading an inept boom-mike handler. He was a big, bearded man in a brown stiped suit and broad-brimmed hat. As the expression goes, he was the one 'calling the shots'. He was also in charge of the camera crew, which consisted of several generic guys in suits.

George Steinbrenner
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Eccentric owner of the SpaceDome
Whenever he appears, George Steinbrenner is always seated in a brown leather armchair. He also always has his back to other characters, no matter which angle they address him from. As such, the only features that can discerned are the fact that he has a head (or at least the back of one) and some hands. He also has grey hair, and an inordinate passion for breadbowls. Steinbrenner could be considered both wealthy and eccentric, and has spent part of his fortune to create a mobile Blitzball stadium and his own Blitzball team, the Yankees. He travels the galaxy in the SpaceDome, challenging other amateur teams to Blitzball matches, and making what some analysts call 'extremely bad trades'.

Tintin
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Journalist?
A fairly short man, Tintin always wore a blue sweater and brown pants. His orange hair was done in a most peculiar style, which peculiarly enough, had grown to become quite popular. Initially, he masqueraded as a janitor, and his disguise included a trenchcoat and a mop. However, it was later learned that he was actually an extremely popular journalist, who almost never did any reporting. In fact, he seemed to spend most of his time discovering vast conspiracies and stumbling into incredibly dangerous situations. In battle, he could use a powerful knockout punch, which could drop weak foes in a single blow. He also had french exclaimations, which would be sure to baffle any opponent. Sapristi!

Don Cherry
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Blitzball Commentator
Perhaps the most famous of Blitzball icons, some have suggested that Don Cherry has more influence over the sport than any of the top players. He has served as an expert commentator for TBN (The Blitzball Network) for many years, and enjoys nothing more than a good, clean hit. Although his white hair and goatee would suggest an advanced age, Don is still in excellent condition. He wears very tacky green and red checkered suits with matching bowties, and is known for his colorful rants on the current state of Blitzball. His salary is also overwhelming. As the host of Coach's Corner, he has been analysing Blitzball championships for many years. As a prelude to this year's Intergalactic Cup, Cherry has travelled throughout the galaxy to deliver all the important Blitzball news.

Babe Ruth
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Captain of the Yankees
As most should be able to guess, Babe Ruth was a fat man in a white and black Yankees uniform. He wore a black ballcap, and a large hotdog was never far from his hand. Or his mouth. Although his movements skills were much less than impressive, his shots were powerful and he attempting to tackle him was rather like throwing yourself at a whale. On the other hand, the only thing he could dish out was another helping of food.

Vana White
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Member of the Yankees Blitzball Team
Vana was a recent, and somewhat odd addition to the Yankee Blitzball team. Some experts speculate that George Steinbrenner arranged a rather bad deal when he traded Joe DiMaggio for Vana White. Her clothing was totally impractical for Blitzball, and included a white spandex dress, high-heels and diamond bracelets. These clothes, and Vana herself, seemed more suited to turning around letters in a gameshow than playing in a competitive sport. Of course, Johnny rather enjoyed her presence on the opposing team.

Jet
Race: Loracian
Occuaption: Goaltender for the Yankees
Jet was the only member of the Yankees to earn the respect of Don Cherry, which said a great deal about his skills. A dark-haired man, Jet wore white martial-arts pants and no shirt. His muscles were impressive, and he looked to be in excellent physical shape. Not only that, he had the Hundred-Hand Stop, which was rumoured to be able to stop a hundred shots at once. Of course, as all soon discovered, such a thing would have little chance of stopping even one Sphere Shot.

Tairix
Race: Loracian
Occupation: Terminator
Hailing from the dark world of Lorac, Tairix spent most of his time hunting and destroying Dagos-spawn. It was in this capacity that he had earned his reputation as the Terminator. A dark-skinned man with broad shoulders and black hair streaked with silver, Tairix usually wore dark leather. However, when on the hunt, he would often outfit himself in black Zelzakian armor. Tairix also possessed a large arsenal of weapons, ranging from a PK-97 to an RD-51 rifle with exploding bullets and even a pair of illegal Grenade Launcher, which he would use simultaenously. Due to the Loracian government's close connections with the Doom Priests, they often did not approve of Tairix's vigilante actions, though this did not nothing to disuade the Terminator.

The Fat Man in a Speedo
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Fat Man in a Speedo?/Technician
It's the scariest thing in the world. It's the most terrifying thing ever seen. The most chilling visual. It's monstrous, it's crappy, it's huge and it's really really big. The Fat Man in a Speedo matches all these descriptions and a whole lot more. As his name suggests, he is a very fat man wearing nothing but a red speedo. Although officially a technician on the station, he seemed to spend most of his time scaring people and bathing in the Hydrosphere. Apparently, it was the only bath big enough to fit him, and he intended to use it constantly. In combat, he used his horrifying bulk as a deterrant and attacked by throwing bowls o Jell-O in the air. Usually at his opponents. Where he kept these countless bowls is still not known.

Tenmei Kanoh
Race: Unknown
Occupation: Photographer
Although officially a photographer, Tenmei Kanoh is better known for his extensive knowledge of food. A dark-skinned man, he has short dark hair and always wears an immaculate suit with a camera hanging around his neck. He often makes use of this camera to take pictures of any nearby water, including that in his own glass. This may perhaps be the reason why he is known for his food critiques rather than his photography. Kanoh is also known for making blunt, often rude statements as well as speaking for all others at the table. Some have noticed that his comments also tend to be rather strange, but coming from a culinary expert, they must be right on the mark.

Sergio
Race: Electran
Occupation: Captain of the Croissant Trading Vessel
A vaguely french fellow who certainly seemed to have a taste for french pastries. In fact, he had even named his trading ship after one such specimen. Sergio was a rather arrogant Electran, who had a curly goatee and a red barret. His other main characteristic was his uncontrollable urge to use a bad french accent at all times. As the captain of an independent trading vessel that often operates on the routes between Sphere and Electra, Sergio often has to make a stop at Space Station Epsilon. This is partly due to the fact that the Electran Steel Star station is closed to all but military personnel, but mostly because Sergio has an unfortunate habit of running into trouble during his travels.

Flat Top
Race: Deksiilan
Occupation: Mob Boss and Casino Owner
One of four major mob bosses that rule Gangsta's Paradise, Flat Top was the owner of the sleazy and highly profitable Monte Carlo casino. A man in a well-pressed green suit and tie, with a thick gangster accent, he acquired his nickname due to his extremely flat haircut. He seems to greatly appreciate big spenders and 'players' who gamble with alot of money. He is also a collector of Psychic: The Gathering cards, and is said to be quite skilled in that game. It has also been suggested that he has a penchant for randomly firing tommy guns, although this has yet to be seen.

Big Boy Caprice
Race: Spheran
Occupation: Mob Boss and Owner of the Chicago Nightclub
As his name would suggest, Big Boy Caprice was a huge man who always wore a blue suit and a black tie. His hair was done in a buzz cut, and he was known for being arrogant and overbearing. In addition, he would rarely be seen without a plate of oysters to devour. Of course, his method of eating these things was quite disgusting. Caprice had brought in a lot of foreign fighters for Gang Wars, and was thus favored to win.

Papa John
Race: Chalchakian
Occupation: Mob Boss and the Owner of Papa John's Pizza
Papa John had the appearance of a classic mob boss. He looked vaguely italian, had silver streaked black hair and a mustache. He was also wearing a green and red apron, and was carrying a cell phone. Apparently, he was always ready in case someone had a problem, and decided to call the Papa. His pizza franchise is intergalactically reknowned for cutting corners and thus maximising its profit from each pizza sold. In fact, there are rumours that the Papa doesn't even use his own ingredients for the pizzas. He is also known for ruthlessly breaking the ovens of any who oppose him.

Papa Dimitrio
Race: Chalchakian
Occupation: Mobster/Textbook Author
Papa Dimitrio was known as one of Papa John's best fighters. He appeared to be a big Greek guy who wore a sloppy white T-shirt and jeans, and had a very strange name. Rumours suggest that he has also published several books on computational complexity, all with very strange coverart. In battle, he could use some rudimentary street brawl skills as well as his computational complexity, which would doubtless confuse his opponent and thus render their attacks inefficient.

Kharate Kid
Race: Electran
Occupation: Martial-Arts Master
One of the foreign fighters brought into the Gang Wars by Big Boy Caprice, Kharate Kid was all about focus. A young man, he had brown hair, a white handband and a white kharate outfit. For one so young, he had already developed admirable fighting skills, and was committed to earning a victory in the tournament. This focus made him a considerable opponent indeed.

Snoop Dogg
Race: Loracian
Occupation: Rapper
Flat Top's fighter was a rapper, familiar to many occupants of the Station. Snoop Dogg had dark skin, dreadlocks, sunglasses and no shirt. His main selling point was that he had rhythm, which would apparently make him a powerful fighter. Of course, considering his genre of music, Snoop Dogg actually had bad rhythm. Which made it even more devastating.

Trinity
Race: Spheran
Occupation: Fighter/Hacker
Trinity was a strange woman indeed. Dressed all in black leather, she had both martial arts skills and the ability to seemingly freeze while in midair. Although there has been speculation that she might have some connection with Neo, her main objective seemed to involve competing in Gang Wars on behalf of Flat Top. She also had strange defensive skills, such as snare fist, which frequently shocked her opponents. Trinity's only other distinctive trait was her penchant for spouting gibberish about some matrix. Which can't be explained. You have to see it for yourself.

Sub Zero
Race: Loracian
Occupation: Mortal Kombat Character/Hired Assassin
Hailed as one of the most deadly intergalactic assassins, Big Boy Caprice considered this man his key to victory in the Gang Wars. Sub Zero wore a black and blue ninja outfit, complete with a hood and mask. He could easily be described as a cold, hard, professional who commonly gives people the cold shoulder. His martial arts skills were considerable, but were not nearly as feared as the freezing blasts he could launch that would put his opponents on ice - permanently! In addition, Sub Zero was also used as a model for one of the characters in the intergalactically acclaimed Mortal Kombat videogame.

Frederique Hernandez
Race: Unknown
Occupation: Self-Proclaimed Miner
Frederique Hernandez certainly doesn't present a very impressive image. He's old, toothless and loud. To go along with that, he sports a long, grey beard, a red jumpsuit and a straw hat. In addition, he always is always accompanied by both a pick and a mule. He had come to Gangsta's Paradise in search of gold, which he was sure could be found underneath the station. In fact, he seemed to spend most of his time jumping up and down while exclaiming that there was gold in the tunnels under the station, and he meant to get it. Considering his rather primitive mining techniques, this did not seem very likely.
