I am running a game pretty shortly, and the premise is that the Heroes are on a "transitional" plane, one that everyone goes to while asleep, unlike the astral plane this is more of a giant subconscious reality, the idea is that the players are the only people who remember coming here and that it spans the multiverse.
Problem is I am having trouble coming up with interesting NPC's for them to meet, especially since I want these people to be more heroic types, time has no meaning here so anyone could meet, only thing I am avoiding is established characters from fiction.
What I would like from you guys is to have you post character names, and concepts. Maybe a little back-story, and character quirks things like that.
tl;dr Anyone want to have their characters make a cameo in my game?
-
A crazy pirate who thinks he's a dread liche. Can speak every language because his tongue has been replaced by a wise-cracking sapient parasite. Together, they fight crime.

If I was ever going to play in a Star Wars game my character would probably be a Nautolan (based off of the Rifftrax of the prequels and mike calling Kit Fisto "Jedi Master Bug-eyed Rastafish")
His name would probably be Mascleo, he'd carry a pazzack deck and use them in fortune telling for making all his decisions, starts sentences with "the cards say...", Speak in a horrible jamacan accent, campaign for legalization of various drugs, etc.
That or a defectively cloned ex-stormtrooper, or a Hutt that talks and acts like The Fat Man (In glorious seven hundred-and-twenty P, ah yeah folks)

Pontifex from New World
Major Lazer from Cyberpunk
-
In my New Worlds variant, Balgran the Fat and Quintos (among others) have cropped up. Balgran is entertaining to have around.
-
Pontifex from New World
Major Lazer from Cyberpunk
I want to see this pairing as a Buddy Cop story.
-
One's a lich. One's neo-Jamaican. Their partners. "Death Lazer"!
-
"Dammit Lazer, you're a loose cannon!"
-
"The press would have a field day with this one if they weren't trapped in their office by skeletons, Lazer!"
-
"Seriously. I am too old for this shit."
"Those damn zealots in IA are already on a Lich Hunt, 'Fex. You gotta get that Lazer under control."
"If you go against the Chief's Orders, they'll throw the book at you!" "I wrote that damn book."
-
All of this needs to go in the fanfic thread.
-
I don't think Major Lazer would be friends with anyone who couldn't enjoy neo-cyber-drugs that enhance combat performance.
Plus Pontifex doesn't seem like a Gaga-lover. Sure to cause a rift in the partnership.

all buddy movies have to have a part where the buddies get pissed at each other and then walk off only to realize later the power of bro-ship.

Kirby, the barbarian fighter. He is rather intelligent for an Orc (14 in the score). He is the leader of a band of mercenaries called 'Kirby's Mercenaries.'
Background:
His beginnings were humble, where he started off as just another guy in a group of adventurers. But when he caught the Many Face criminal in the city of Nevilice, his fame began to grow. Time passed and he gained a stronghold (read: house) as well as several others to join him (Read: Mercenary group/Leadership).
He then moved to other parts of the realm, where his name was not so-well known. He reached another town. Citadel, it was called. And the land was under siege by hordes of slaves controlled by Illithids. It seemed they had, for some unknown reason, wished to invade the above-world enmasse.
Kirby offered his services to the lord there, Arir, and was surprised to be named standing general of their forces (a total of 600 men). Using his staff to the best of his advantage, Kirby enjoyed minor to moderate losses in the battles that ensued. Though, he had to admit, it was only with the help of five other adventurers that he was in such a good position.
His contract up, Kirby continued his search for fame and power, earning respect through battle...
Personality: Not much of a sense of humor, and when it does show it is always a dry sense of humor. He's a serious individual who despises the stereotype that all Orcs are dumb (he spent 2 points in his first level as Barbarian to read). He knows he can't do everything by himself, and relies on his officers to get some things finished for him.
Looks: Kirby is about 6'4", weighing in at about 280 pounds (5% body fat). He favors a clean-shaven head and a large axe as his weapon. While simply walking around, he wears chainmail armor beneath his clothing. Otherwise, at war, he wears platemail without a helmet.

I love the mash up idea. But I still say, if you need a methodical, passionless, psychologically manipulative assassin in a modern game Orlen Johnson is your man. And, I'm not talking about his comic book version in Omar Shakti Must Die! either.

Was he the one who used a cultist as a meat shield slash shooting platform?

Yes. His other exploits included:
1) Wiping out an entire company of cultists with a Tommy Gun.
2) Negotiating a major arms deal with the Triad.
3) Planning to mercilessly torture another PC who had killed a mentally retarded kid in an earlier game session.
4) Sending all telegrams in Aklo and only communicating with Tom's character.
5) Leaving the pilot of a biplane to be eaten by a Hunting Horror after the Horror took down the plane.
There's more.

Starting next session Balgon the Fat be a recurring npc as a Toydarian in my Star Wars Saga game. A big floating blob of sweat, fat and greed.

Did I mention it's a Rise of the Empire era, 'World War Z'-esque game?

Star Wars zombies?

I'm running an Esoterrorists game. Mr. Bacardi is a local newsman the players are interacting with who likes to talk about his two scientist brothers.

Star Wars zombies?
Yep. I've changed events slightly in the decade up to the Clone Wars. The Techno Union was working on something similar to Project Blackwing. However it got loose and created zombies ranging from the classic Romero walker to the Dawn of the Dead remake runners. Eventually controllers types will gain sentience and facets of the Mnngal-Mnggal will manifest. Except the controllers will try and absorb/destroy each other. So the galaxy will face pockets of blaster wielding zombies under the command of controllers. Of course by this piont in the plot, the clone armies will be 'discovered', as well as the massing Sep droid forces. The Clone Wars will still go down, its just between the zombie menance, the armed volunteer Republic militias, pirates, raiders and the Seps, its going to be a very, very, very bloody war.

Needs a Chocobo. Otherwise, fucking epic.

I make my players use riding beasts whenever I can so I can play the old spaghetti western music in the background. I'm pretty sure I can come build a chocobo mount.

The Bacardi Brothers!
One's a tough talkin' cop with a heart of gold! One's a smart dude! And the other just wanted to be with the cool kids.
Make sure to have a reference to a lazy eye'd woman.

One of my players is getting ready to run an Iron Kingdoms in 4E. Because of Balgran's goblin and toydarian incarnations in my games, the group has insisted that the lovable ball of cut-throat greed appear as a recurring npc in his game as well.
Balgran is actually a trans-dimensional being whose tendrils extend into all the layers of the multi-verse.
-
Ross should add more Balgran the Fat to his games. There is never enough Balgran.
-
I spelled the name Balrgron but whatevs.
Balrgon is now a magical imp in the Wild Talents game - summoned by Jason's PC as a magical spy.

Well played sir.
