: Running a Cosmic Level WUSHU game Need NPC ideas
: Addled GM August 23, 2011, 07:43:04 PM
With this game i'm pulling out all the stops.  I told the players they could play whatever they want.  The setting is a city in the center of the universe where all time and space meets.  Naturally my players jumped at the chance to allow their imagination to become unfettered.  This leaves me with a sandbox city that needs to be filled.

Describe the most abusive, over-the-top NPCs to throw at them and give me a motivation for them.

Tighty Whitey Suicidey - a strung out highly depressed and insane immortal, he's been alive longer then there's been time and has gone quite mad and cant gather up the mental fortitude to wear anything other than a tattery pair of underpants. He has a curse which makes any harm on him transfer to someone else, (he still suffers it though, which doesn't help his mental state), like a living voodoo doll, his sincerest wish is to finally die for good.

and Hugh Bliss

So far not bad.  Gotta love the raptors.  Also, already did an evil lincoln.  4 scores and seven years ago almost a TPK.  Ah, Deadlands... As far as immortals go pretty good.  Timecops as bad as the movie...check. Also Dr. Zaius awesome. Hugh Bliss also pretty good. What else you guys got?

The love child of Krang and Motherbrain: Neuron-X. It's a giant brain with an "X" tattoo, for Dimension X, and an eye patch (space pirates). It has a mouth and eyes like Krang and metal limbs like Motherbrain, leads both their armies, and hates everything.
