Even though the GM plays all the NPCs  some of them stand out.   Over the years  I have two off the top of my head that my players loved.   They tried to get me to bring them into the game as much as possible.  And the funny thing is, they were generic security guards with no real sheets until they became regulars.   Both of them were with my New Mexico Group.


First was Shitter.  He was a security guard when the PCs were all assigned to a moon of Jupiter  ( They played 60 years in the future  from my current group.)   Shitter was a lovable asshole that looked like Bill Paxton from  Weird Science.   He was gung ho, loyal, and loved to describe his bowel movements in excruciating  detail.
    When the players financed their own super team, they hired Shitter as their security guard.  They spend inventing points on making him armor and weapons.   Soon Shitter was a full fledged member of their team and was killed in action.   They then found out that Shitter spend all his money on his mother, who was dying of cancer.   So the super team pooled their inventing points trying to find a cure for her.  When she died, it was the saddest game ever.


Gus Gustoffersen was also a security guard, who was also an asshole.   But not a beloved one.  He was incompetent, always eating, and quick to insult.   They loved to hate him.   He always seemed to get fired and pop up at other places that the Heroes just happened to be.   They cheered when he ranked on them with the stupidest insults.  "who are you supposed to be?  Asshole Man?  Did you drive the Asshole Mobile here today?"  "What is your super power?  I bet it being a real jerk."        Gus kind of was forgotten about in later games.   He never really had a proper send off.

Shitter! What a name...I can see Chet from Weird Science and I'm laughing aloud.

Ah, now if only it were Lisa from Weird Science...

From the same time period there was Mote.  She was the sidekick of Micro Woman who was an ally of the Titans ( that was their team name).  She was killed so they adopted Mote as their mascot.

The problem was, no one ever saw her.  She was trapped at the size of a dust mote.   Every once in a while something would happen in battle that they attributed to her.  She could fly and still retained the full strength of a teenaged girl.  So her 1d3 damage was sometimes noticed in battle.

She was killed when  the Rift, a character run by Jason, rolled a 20 and she as caught in the stray blast.  The really sad part was that no one noticed for a few adventures that their "poltergeist" was no longer with them.

So tell us, that is what this thread is about.

Raymond Phelps. As a recurring Villian who is constantly cahnging abilities but each of them still having something to do with the Name "Ray".

Ray Gun
Manta Ray
X Ray
Gamma Ray

Not sure if I am missing one. Just the personality of this NPC alone is quite a bit of fun and the changing powers tens to keep us on our toes.

Death Ray!! I knew I forgot one.

Loved the Octopus

Dr. Graymatter.

Only had really one or two Adventures with Him but I am waiting for His re emergence. The whole Yig thing is getting ready to tie in sometime soon I think.

So far The Greenlandic Sagas fell into place but there must be so much more coming.

John,

So much Evil for you to do, So little time.

The Sun Chained In Ink was only around for one Adventure. He fought The Oni and blew up when he came in contact with the sea water.

It was however one of the coolest names ever.

Not sure if any other PC ever went up against him.

Kid Nemesis: Romantic Interest

The Suit: Business Interest

Dick Dante: She stabbed him in the friggin neck. Just business of course.

Nicely done, Klystron!

i think this is a great idea  !!
