Generic NPCs

[Sanctaphrax]

Does anybody have any requests? I'm in need of inspiration.

[bibliophile20]

Hmm...

Generic:
Lawyer
Bouncer
Made Man
Bagman
OC Outfit Right Hand Man
Vice Squad Sgt.
Traffic Patrol Partners
Cylon
$50 Bruiser
Socialite
Forensics Specialist
Valkyrie
Vampire Groupie/Poser

Specific:
Giant Snake, offspring of Jörmungandr.
Fenrir Wolf, offspring of Fenrir.
Ghost, Oath Bound To Protect, To Death And Beyond

That enough?  (we need emoticons with devil horns and halos...)

[Tbora]

Stat out some mythological creatures. Start on Angel (as we have no builds of generic angel types) and work your way down the alphabet till you reach yeti (as you already have done zombie)

[Buscadera]

I'd like to see a spy (Michael Weston/ Jason Bourne-type), a few nephilim (half-angels) in various fields, maybe even orks as a distinct species of Nevernever being.

Any of that sound workable?

[Sanctaphrax]

Wow. I must admit, I didn't expect such an enthusiatic response.

Three problems:
First, the OC Outfit Right Hand Man. I don't know what that is.
Second, the Fenrir Wolf. vultur already made one of those, it's on the mythical creatures thread.
Third, I'm not entirely sure how to stat Cylons and orks. I don't know what powers they should have or what version that the requester has in mind.

I think I'll start with the Giant Snake, the Bouncer, and the Angel. Expect them later today or perhaps tomorrow.

Organized Crime Outfit Right Hand Man.  Basically, the lieutenant for the boss of an Organized Crime Outfit (mafia, yakuza, etc).
Oh, someone did a Fenrir Wolf already?  *evil*  excellent...   
I threw the Cylon in there as a gag, honestly.  Just ignore it.

And here's the Giant Snake. I may have gone a little overboard with this one, since he's pretty much just a poisonous Leviathan. Ah well, I'm sure that there are some high-powered games out there that need enemies like this.

The Vampire Groupie works better as a template than as a single NPC in my opinion. In order to convert a human NPC to a vampire groupie:

-Add "Vampire Groupie" or some variation thereof to the High Concept.
-Add "Venom Addict" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the Red Court.
-Add "Emotionally Dominated" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the White Court.
-Add "Brainwashed" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the Black Court.
-Add the following stunt (which may bring the groupie down to zero refresh, showing that they've lost their free will):
Very Tasty (Endurance): Each scene spent feeding on this character with Blood Drinker or Emotional Vampire counts as two for the purpose of alleviating hunger stress from the Feeding Dependency power. In addition, a character who kills you with the Taste Of Death trapping of Emotional Vampire or Blood Drinker may recover as though they spent an entire session healing rather than a single scene.

I'm not totally satisfied with the stunt, but it'll do.

As you can see, the generic valkyrie is substantially weaker than Gard. But this stat block does not contain all of her powers and stunts. Because of my uncertainty about which of Gard's abilities come from herself and which come from her job, I decided to leave most of the generic Valkyrie's refresh open. Possible powers and stunts include Inhuman Strength, Supernatural Recovery, Rune Magic, Marked By Power, Berserker, Rider, and Improved Supernatural Senses.
