Shotglass
Archetype: Human Bartender
Shotglass was born to bartend. He's been mixing drinks
since early childhood, and hasn't met a person he didn't like. You can
get right up in his face and he'll be and nice and cheery as ever, although
he'll motion for the bouncer at the same time and have them gently, and
nicely, toss your ass onto the street. If you come back in, Shotglass will
leave you alone until you get in his or a customer's face again, and then
it's on the street again. At the request of his parents, Shotglass did
attend college, where he spent nearly ten years of his life, switching
majors so he could stick around and gather more knowledge. Now in his forties,
he still has his brain and his booze working for him, and has owned his
own uppity for many years.
Lauger
Archetype: Ork Bartender
Your typical seedy bar is heaven compared to where Lauger
works. In addition to being the bartender and owner he also takes on the
job of 'commander' from time to time, deploying his fleet of bouncers
to the various hot spots located around his bar/nightclub. Since Lauger's
bar is one of the few still standing in his crap section of the city he
can afford to be mean to people because he knows they have no other place
to go. He's not always nasty, mind you, but there is more that will piss
him off than there is that won't. Occasionally he'll get so enraged by
a customer's action that he'll heave his enormous bulk over the bar and
come after them himself.
Thad
Archetype: Elf Bartender
Thad's overflowing charisma and good looks made him the
ideal bartender for a high class establishment. Having attended the Mixers
Elite bartending school, Thad can perfectly mix any drink on the books,
even going so far as to have headware installed which has on file every
drink known to man. Thad is also skilled in many languages, and those he
doesn't know he can chip if he needs to, making him popular with foreigners
who want a drink like they get at the Yak shack in Japan. As far as personality
goes, Thad has almost none because the upper class come to discuss matters
with other members of the upper class, not some bartender. It is his job
to make the drink right, and that's it. If somebody came up and started
droning on about their private life, Thad would simply refer them to
one of the many high priced shrinks dwelling the nightclub where he works.
Mixer
Archetype: Human Bartender
Although Mixer is only in his late teens he runs a combination
booze/chip/drug bar semi-legally in the barren fringes. The bar is immense,
consisting of several levels each with it's own mood, and with each mood and
level being associated with a particular drug. The alcohol floor, for example,
is your typical rowdy good ole rock and roll type crowd sitting around
and having shot contests. The LSD floor, however, plays complex trippy
electronic music and contains such visual attractions as a pool room, in which
everything is neon, and a room devoted entirely to florescent
Grateful Dead posters. The speed floor is nothing but continuous 200 BPM
music and strobe lights. Even at his relatively young age, Mixer has established
immense drug connections, hires high grade security, and makes enough money
to pay the organized crime group of the day to keep off his back. He can
usually be found mixing drinks on the alcohol floor where he is more than
happy to hook you up with something more powerful if you have a solid reference
and the right amount of nuyen.
