Zippy

Archetype: Dwarf Armorer

Zippy is not only a dwarf, he is a little dwarf. He looks a lot like a Wizard Of Oz munchkin and does not take kindly to references of that type. His specialty is, unsurprisingly, micro weapons and is the inventor of the Bic Zip Pen, a fully functional pen which has the ability to fire a single hold out pistol round. He constantly talks to himself, drives a custom ultra small runabout, and smokes disproportionately sized cigars.

Stub

Archetype: Dwarf Armorer

Stub is Zippy's even smaller assistant. The two work together with extreme efficiency and assemble weapons at a blur while arguing about the stupidest and most mundane items. A few years back they had a legendary argument lasting over two weeks about why the green light is at the bottom of stoplights.

Lum

Archetype: Dwarf Security Guard

Lum basically guards the door to Zippy's "store" by sitting in front of it. He doesn't use a firearm and is basically there for decoration, the store's primary security being the seven machine guns mounted on pop up turrets.
