ALPHA-THREE PRIMUS Father Jherrik - Human Male, Priest of Ptah Priest 10 S:11 I:16 W:17 D:11 C:11 Ch:12; HP:39; Thaco:14; AL:N Badly scarred and possessed of a nervous twitch, Father Jherrik is a common site on the streets of Primus. He seems to know everyone, and is often consulted advice on everything from engineering to marriage. Ptah's church was legalized here only a few years ago, and until then Father Jherrik had spent his clerical career in hiding; now he seems to be making up for lost time. Jherrik has spent the past ten of his twenty odd years as a cleric in Passarspace; he's thinking its time to move on. ------------------------- Gorrund - Human Male, underworld denizen Thief 5 S:11 I:11 W:9 D:14 C:11 Ch:11; HP:21; Thaco:18; AL:NE Skinny, dirty, unkept, and most of all, unremarkable, Gorrund was a small time thief who got picked up in an Invader sweep of another sphere (also under their control) some years ago and shipped here. He managed to sneak off the vessel transporting him when it arrived here, and has been living on the streets ever since. He has an extensive knowledge of the back alleys and secret ways of Primus, but is also utterly untrustable. ------------------------ Rhoda - Human Female, Priestess of the Voidwalker ex Thief 3/ex Mage (illusionist) 3/Priestess 5 S:7 I:17 W:15 D:17 C:8 Ch:11; HP:21; Thaco:18; AL:N Straight black hair, pale skin. Originally a petty criminal and minor mageling from Regia (Golotspace), Rhoda was brought to Passarspace to serve as an assistant helmsman on the transport ships within the sphere. One day, though, the Voidwalker simply appeared on her vessel and announced to one and all that Rhoda was `chosen'; then departed shortly thereafter, taking her with it. Since then, Rhoda has turned up in a number of places throughout the sphere, performing tasks of an uncertain nature. Occasionally, she claims to know `great secrets' - what the Maw really is, ect; but she never explains further. She frequents a temple of sorts to the Voidwalker in Primus proper. --------------------------- Tybex - Human Male, Assassin Thief 11 S:14 I:14 W:14 D:17 C:14 Ch:11; HP:33; Thaco:15; AL:LE Tybex looks just like any of the other laborers and artisans found in the sphere - average height, weight, build, ect; even wearing the same drab garb. However, Tybex is really a roving troubleshooter, sent by high ranking invaders to `remove' troublesome or potentially troublesome workers before they become signifigant problems. Usually, but not always, this means killing the person or persons in question. While he can turn up almost anywhere in the sphere, he is based at Primus. -------------------------- `Felix' - Human Male, Chainbreaker Priest 5 S:13 I:14 W:14 D:15 C:11 Ch:11; HP:22; Thaco:18; AL:N `Felix' adopts a variety of guises, from local yokel to clerk to street pedlar. He actually runs a local cell of the Chainbreakers. --------------------------- LAKEVIEW Crow - Human Male, Wizard Mage 16 S:8 I:18 W:10 D:9 C:11 Ch:13; HP:33; Thaco:15; AL:N Tall and thin, with black hair and an immense beak of a nose, Crow is one of the very few noninvaders to have a villa at Lakeview. Originally he was a wizard from Lostspace, a member of the planet spanning Wizards Guild there who became embroiled in a complex feud and wound up turning to the Invaders for sanctuary. The Invaders brought him here as a sort of `answer man', to investigate a wide range of academic and magical issues that they are not geared to deal with themselves. He is constantly speculating about the true nature of the Maw, the `Dark Things', why the temple to Ptah was abandoned, experimenting with the odd substances that are dug up now and again, ect. ------------------------ `King' Mulpano - Human Male, exile ex Bard 3/Fighter 5 S:17 I:13 W:7 D:15 C:15 Ch:15; HP:22; Thaco:16; AL:N(E) A big black skinned man with a cheerfull attitude, `King' Mulpano is a deposed Invader puppet from another sphere who was brought here for his own protection while the Invaders decide if he can be of any further use to them. While seemingly friendly to everbody he meets, he is actually a born schemer, willing to use anybody or do nearly anything to meet his purposes (which is currently doing everything he can to convince the Invaders he is a worthy servant of theirs). His manor here is staffed by a score or so of bodyguards and hanger-ons (a feuding and faction ridden lot from his old kingdom). ------------------------- Theodore - Human Male, Servant Thief 4 S:11 I:11 W:10 D:12 C:14 Ch:13; HP:14; Thaco:18; AL:N Young, thin, close cropped black hair, perfect manners. Originally from Regia in Golotspace, Theodore was sent here when an Invader functionary realized he was a trained, professional servant. Theodore does not serve on the staff of any one villa; rather, he is in charge of a small group of servants who go to whichever villa needs their services at the time. While there, he will frequently steal small items and sell them through the underground. ------------------------------------------------------------ GAMMA-FIVE Sandy - Human Male, Laborer and Lunatic Thief 4 S:11 I:13 W:10 D:14 C:12 Ch:10; HP:18; Thaco:19; AL:CE Average height. Average weight. Average looks. Nothing sets Sandy apart from the thousands of other laborers on Gamma-Five - except the voices. The voices started speaking to Sandy after Gamma-Fives last pass through the Dark Zone, telling him things both wonderous and horrible. Now they're telling him to kill... -------------------------- Warner - Human Male, secret wizard ex Thief 3/Mage 7 S:10 I:17 W:9 D:15 C:10 Ch:10; HP:17; Thaco:17; AL:N A nondescript brown haired mouse of a man, Warner is officially a minor tallykeeper in the records office at Gamma-Five - a position which, properly handled, leaves him adequate time for his secret passion - magic. To gather the various spell components, work rituals, ect, he often sneaks about the place, filching this or that. He has a regular rats nest of a lair in an abandoned tunnel beneath the records office. --------------------------- `Bull' - Human Male, Laborer Fighter 5 S:18/88 I:9 W:7 D:8 C:8 Ch:7; HP:41; Thaco:16; AL:N(C) A former mercenary captured in another sphere (he was sick at the time), `Bull' makes even the Invader overseers a bit nervous what with his fits, brawling, and hard stares. If they didn't find him so usefull, he'd be dead in a heartbeat. ---------------------------- Lanna - Human Female, `Entertainer' Bard 4 S:9 I:13 W:10 D:13 C:10 Ch:15; HP:12; Thaco:19; AL:N An attractive, firey redhead, Lanna is a part time singer, part time mistress to one of the Invader functionaries here, and part time agent of the Chainbreakers. Problem is, she's not exactly their best or most reliable agent, her contact is missing, and the Invaders are starting to suspect her. ------------------------- DELTA-TWO Nyssa - Human Female, Manager Bard 10 S:9 I:15 W:13 D:14 C:8 Ch:17; HP:31; Thaco:16; AL:NE Slender, middle ages, with the kind of beauty that comes from hours of makeup, Nyssa was originally from Golotspace, where she worked for them as a spy in Venusi. Upon being exposed, her masters transported her here; she's been running the chief pleasure center (Three Doors) on Delta-Two ever since. Nyssa claims to be loyal to the Invaders, and while she won't actively work against them, puts her own interests first - always. She has been consort to a long string of Invader functionaries including the sphere overlord himself. No few of the Invaders permanently posted here are controlled by her magic, blackmail, ect. Occasionally, she will profess to be a rebel agent, offering escape, ect; but this is always a trap. -------------------------- Zirena - Human Female, Outcast Ex Thief 3/Mage 7 S:8 I:17 W:9 D:15 C:8 Ch:14; HP:15; Thaco:18; AL:CG Vain and slightly mad. Once upon a time, Zirena had Nyssa's job - until she fell afoul of an Invader official and had to flee for her life to a almost unihabited islet. Since then, she has been using her knowledge of the Invaders to undermine them where she can. As far as the Invaders (and Nyssa) are concerned, Zirena drowned years ago. -------------------------- Jeremy - Human Male, Fisherman and Scrounger Fighter 3 S:16 I:11 W:11 D:11 C:15 Ch:10; HP:18; Thaco:18; AL:NG Jeremy is one of several score fishermen found paddling about Delta-Two's all encompassing ocean, catching fish, crabs, and eels for the dining places of the pleasure cities. He is a sometime agent of the witch Zirena, working with her against the Invaders. --------------------------- EPSILON-TWO Carl `the Crusher' - Human Male, Rebel Leader Fighter 9 S:18/91 I:11 W:7 D:11 C:16 Ch:13; HP:99; Thaco:11; AL:CN(N) Bald headed, beady eyed, heavily muscled, and partly deranged, Carl `the Crusher' is one of the rebel leaders at Epsilon-Two. Unfortunately, the only way he knows to keep order involves pounding people into pulp. ------------------------ Jeris Greycloak - Human Male, Wizard ex Thief 3/Mage 8 S:9 I:18 W:11 D:14 C:8 Ch:10; HP:21; Thaco:18; AL:N(CN) A withered stick of a man with a narrow face and stringy grey hair, his body almost completely engulfed in his all encompassing grey cloak. Nobody knows just how old Jeris is, or how long he's been on Epsilon-Two; the rebels remember him being here from the early days, though he does refer sometimes to a past existence as a street urchin in another sphere. Mostly, Jeris roams the red waste of Epsilon-Two, sometimes sneaking into the ruins of the old temple to Ptah, sometimes visiting the rebels, sometimes spending weeks or months camped out at this or that oasis. Sometimes, he claims to know `great secrets' about this sphere: the true nature of the Maw, what the `Dark Things' really are; but he never elaborates. -------------------------- Damon Tuff - Human Male, Hunter and Scout Ranger 3 S:14 I:14 W:14 D:13 C:15 Ch:13; HP:19; Thaco:18; AL:CG Tall, with long blond hair; typically clad in patchwork leathers. Damon is the chief scout and hunter for the rebels on Epsilon-Two, constantly scouring the red wastes for edible creatures and Invader patrols.
