Blackjack’s People Compendium consists of

more than 500 NPCs divided into 100+ groups

of varying personality, composition, purpose,

and strength. These NPCs can be used as

contacts, friends, or enemies of the Player

Characters, and should be combined with ad-

ditional, more anonymous NPCs in order to

create a complete, fleshed out group.

ACTION VIDEO

Sick Rick

Information: Detour is in charge of watching over and

transporting Rick from city to city. Also possessing cor-

porate ties, Detour and Rick often party together at

high class establishments. Detour owns some sort of

land vehicle in every major North American city but

uses a Plutocrat, actually owned by a corporate friend,

when moving between cities.

Archetype: Human Trideo Producer

Information: Sick Rick is in the business of producing

underground action trideo movies which he claims are

shot in a studio but which are in fact tapes of people he

has set up getting their butts kicked. He’ll simply have

somebody hire a group of runners or gang members to

take out another group of runners or gang members

which he has also hired and then record the whole thing

from hidden locations. He then sells them to under-

ground stores and moves to another city before any-

body can catch up with him. Rick looks and talks like a

regular business man and actually has high level cor-

porate contacts which allow him to get rooms in exclu-

sive, and secure, hotels.

Bleep

Archetype: Human Trid Technician

Information: The remarkable thing about this whole

operation is that it is essentially run by two people,

Rick and Bleep. After selecting a location at which the

“rumble” is going to take place, which is usually in the

barrens, Bleep goes around and sets up remote cam-

eras at various location around the area. He records

from his van on another block and then simply drives

off when shooting is complete, blowing up the cam-

eras by remote control to lessen the amount of evi-

dence. In addition to being a good technician Bleep is

also good with disguise and street etiquette and he

changes his appearance when setting up the “runs”

which bring in his “talent” and when moving from town

to town.

Cancer

Archetype: Ork Bodyguard

Information: Cancer is usually placed in charge of pro-

tecting Bleep, should trouble arise during shooting. A

big, mean, cigar smoking ork, Cancer is also an ac-

complished conjuring adept, specializing in fire

elementals. He usually keeps a few hanging around

just in case. Cancer also owns a well armored van.

Detour

Archetype: Human Rigger

ARTISTS

ment, similar to stating that volcanic lava is “warm”.

Shortly after entering Seattle Art College, Danielle

hooked up with a fairly radical division of Greenpeace

where she utilized her painting and sculpting abilities,

albeit slowly, to create advertisements for the organi-

zation. A few months after she joined she was ap-

proached by an extremely radical member and offered

her an unending supply of weed if she would come to

work for him.

Lauren Osmann

Archetype: Human Earth Elemental Adept

Information: Currently enrolled in St. Lawrence liberal

arts college in Quebec, Lauren left her small, back-

woods home town with a vague perception as to what

her art related skills were, or even if she had any true

talent at all. But when she arrived at St. Lawrence she

discovered that she actually did have decent artistic

skills, unfortunately simultaneously discovering a mil-

lion and a half ways to get out of working toward devel-

oping these skills into something even remotely use-

ful. She didn’t really get her act together until one morn-

ing, hung over after a wild night in the city, she asked a

room mate for an aspirin and a glass of water. The

roommate, ten times as hung over as Lauren, fulfilled

the request without comment or complaint.

What he meant by work was simple acts of terrorism,

Danielle’s seemingly harmless appearance and per-

petually out of it appearance being the perfect cover.

Primarily her jobs involve plodding up to a member of

an environmentally destructive organization or corpo-

ration and simply slipping a small explosive into his or

her pocket. These explosives are usually made of

plastique molded by her into simple sculptures.

It was at this moment Lauren realized that no matter

how ludicrous, irrational, or down right idiotic a request

of hers may be just about everyone follows through

with them. Just to test her theory she again asked a

favor of her roommate, this time petitioning for a hot

cup of coffee and the newspaper. Moments later they

arrived at her side.

A rather imposing individual, Lauren stands six feet

tall with short brown hair and gives off the unnerving

impression that at any moment she’ll spontaneously,

and without explanation, either ask you to participate

in a mundane activity such as going to a grocery store

or make an attempt to beat the living hell out of you

with whatever large, heavy object happens to be clos-

est to her. You can never quite tell. Lauren rarely keeps

her ego in check, an act which would normally earn

her enemies but, perhaps because of her manipula-

tive skills, rarely results in consistent animosity no

matter how irritating somebody finds her to be. In addi-

tion to working on various artistic endeavors Lauren

will occasionally work in the club and bar scene as an

informant or courier.

Danielle Armstrong

Archetype: Human Terrorist

Information: Small and visually docile, Danielle has

inhaled so much marijuana that any verbal thought in

her head takes a full five minutes to form and another

ten to get from her brain to her mouth. To say

she is mellow would be an incredible understate-

ASTRAL ADDICTION

The Edge

so she will be able to witness all the glory he does.

Archetype: Human Mage

Information: The Edge is addicted to astral quests. He

goes on one at every possible opportunity and offers

his services to those who require information which

can sometimes only be acquired on the metaplanes.

He is almost friends with the Dweller and they often

joke upon entrance. Nothing surprises The Edge any-

more. He has lived a thousand lives in a thousand

places on the metaplanes and sometimes appears to

have lost his real existence in the shuffle. His sanity is

slipping. It is just a matter of time before he leaves for

the metaplanes and just never comes back.

Tubs

Archetype: Ork Mr. Johnson

Information: The Edge’s Mr. Johnson. A rather obnox-

ious individual who’s holier than thou attitude has got-

ten him into trouble on more than one occasion and

has generally left him shunned by the more profes-

sional Johnsons. Tubs is probably the only Mr. Johnson

who drives a Jackrabbit. Tubs still hangs onto the Edge

because every once in a while he is able to get him to

do his bidding while on an astral quest. The Edge re-

quests little or now pay for this.

Salish Quest

Archetype: Human Mage

The Edge’s old teacher, and good old fashion wise man.

He still checks in on him every once in a while and

although concerned about his well being he also re-

spects an individuals right to go to hell in whatever

way they may choose. He is also studying the causes

and effects of this addition so he can prevent it from

every happening again to one of his students.

Sindy

Archetype: Human Pedestrian

The Edge’s old girlfriend. He chased her away after

his addiction began. She still returns occasionally to

check up on him and plead for him to stop the

quests. Although The Edge appears to not want her

around at all a large portion of his astral quests

are to find a way to make a mundane magical
