Fungo
Archetype: Dwarf Lunatic
Fungo was committed to an insane asylum on his twenty first
birthday when he consumed a vast quantity of alcohol, went insane, purchased
a gun off the street, and began randomly shooting pedestrians. Most expected
his insanity to die down in the jail cell as he sobered up but, to everybody's
surprise, he never really was able to flip back whatever mental switch
the booze had triggered. This became evident when he spent the better part of a day
trying to shove his cell mate through the bars. He was eventually convicted
of attempted murder (all of the gunshot victims had recovered) but, through
a bribe issued by his lawyer, was placed in a mental institution. He remained
there for nearly a day before escaping onto the streets.
Fungo has since hooked up with a number of other criminally insane individuals
and has spent his time honing his firearms skills for the purpose of being
able to shoot a person ten or fifteen times, but not kill them. Like a
go gang on foot, his group swoops down on malls, gas stations, stuffer
shacks, and other locations, wreaking general havoc and seriously injuring
people but not killing them. Fungo is gradually gaining more weight and
has grown a full beard which he has bleached white and which adds nearly
twenty years to his age. He looks pretty non threatening until he whips
out his twin SMGs, gives a menacing laugh, and starts blowing holes in
things.
Jobbie
Archetype: Dwarf Lunatic
Jobbie lost it while working for a small corporation. In
the middle of a business meeting one of his presentation slides projected
upside down in front of the corporate president and Jobbie, thinking his
career was over, instantly leaped through a tenth story window. He fell
the ten stories, through an open manhole cover, and into a river of raw
sewage which carried him into Puget Sound where he was caught up in a tuna
net, hauled to Tacoma, dumped in a transport truck, and hauled to a fish
market located directly across the street from his office building. This
experience, for some reason, triggered an intense hatred of corps, not
to mention tuna.
Since Fungo doesn't let anybody kill anybody he has provided Jobbie
with two UZI IIIs modified to fire paint pellets. When the group wreaks
havoc he tends to single out the corps, getting great pleasure from staining
their two thousand dollar suits. Jobbie constantly has a wide, wide smile
on his face and never shuts his eyes, not even to sleep or blink. He just
lets them water and get red and irritated. For some reason he blames this
on the tuna.
Katamoto
Archetype: Former Yakuza Soldier
Normally when a Yakuza solder does something incredibly
stupid they eventually make up for it by somehow getting killed. When Katamoto
finally decided that killing was bad and that he should turn in some of
his fellow soldiers he was damn lucky his father, since executed himself,
was in a position of power. Rather than waste Katamoto he ordered him into
exile in the barrens. Before this, however, Katamoto was to under go surgery
designed to wipe all memory of his Yakuza past. During this operation somebody
screwed up and, instead of wiping his memory, accidently messed up his
personality. The Yak doctors released Katamoto, not knowing that he now
possessed a personality flaw which caused him to slap people across the
face any time they showed any aggression, be it something as severe as
wanting to kill somebody or as simple as wanting a better view at a baseball
game. So now while Fungo is busy shooting people with bullets, and Jobbie
with paint pellets, Katamoto is busy slapping everybody upside the head
with his cyber arm for just about anything even vaguely resembling aggression.
Occasionally he'll even slap one of the members of his group.
Axeman
Archetype: Troll Former Woodsman
Axeman always had a problem accepting the fact that a majority
of the former wood related products were now made synthetically as well
as coming to terms with the fact that any harvesting that would be done
is completed with the use of machines. Things got worse when a tree he
was chopping landed on his head. He moved off of his family's ranch and
into the city where he hooked up with Fungo who showed him that trees aren't
the only things you can hack apart with an axe. Actually, with the right
size axe, there's very little you can't hack apart. So now Axeman, who
is large and muscular even for a troll, accompanies the group on their
hits, chopping the hell out of everything non living thing that he sees, as well
as nicking the living ones.
