Jackhammer

Archetype: Ork Construction Worker

The last thing in the world a city's Department Of Streets And Services wants is to have a road stay functional for any extended period of time. After all, if they all did their jobs perfectly, they'd soon be out of one. Jackhammer is one of the department director's hacks whose job it is to make sure nothing ever gets done right. While technically a supervisor he will do his best to clandestinely sabotage equipment, cover streets with asphalt eating bacteria, and so on. Although a majority of street workers actually believe they're supposed to be helping the infrastructure, Jackhammer and the rest of his "squad" carry out the real orders.

Jackhammer is rather overweight and spends most of his working time eating soy wieners and doughnuts. Although oafish in appearance he is actually quite intelligent, possessing a masters degree in Chemistry as well as extensive knowledge of street related architecture. For this reason he knows just what chemicals will mess up a road the fastest, and what support pylons you have to knock on a few times with a jackhammer in order to make them break. He's terrible at conversation, however, and any attempt to speak with him usually results in him breaking into a fit of obscenities and chasing the offending individual away.

Banjo

Archetype: Troll Construction Worker

Banjo is good friends with Jackhammer. In fact, he's the only friend Jackhammer has. Banjo has vast experience with explosives, as the result of a short stint with the military, and has developed his own explosive compound, with the help of Jackhammer's chemistry skills, which blows fast, but quietly, and leaves no residue. A small amount of this explosive can be dropped into a street grate, blow silently, a create enough pressure to buckle pavement and destroy utilities. Banjo is fairly intelligent although, like Jackhammer, he rarely shows it in conversation. Both of their intelligence comes out, however, when they converse, usually in a bar, about chemistry, explosives, stress points, and the like.

Dale

Archetype: Human Construction Worker

Dale appears to be an idiot, primarily because he is. His purpose is to carry stuff around, place explosives, and try to stay on Jackhammer's good side. All Dale can talk about is sports and any attempt at any other form of conversation will confuse the hell out of him and force him to buy another beer. Dale is in his late fifties and is looking forward to retiring so he can sit around and watch ESPN all day.

Mac

Archetype: Troll Construction Worker

Almost as stupid as Dale, the two often go to baseball games together. Mac's one saving grace is that he's extremely strong, stronger than Jackhammer and Banjo combined, and is able to use an enormous jackhammer most people can't even begin to pick up. Once he's done chipping away, however, he's usually allowed to run off to the sports bar. If you ever heard his annoying, incessant, chattery, high pitched, whiny, voice you'd know why they don't like him to stick around.

Slim Jim

Archetype: Human Rigger

Slim Jim used to work for the Streets Department before he quit and decided to drive large vehicles freelance. He is hired from time to time, paid through private funds, to haul in his array of enormous construction related equipment. He's tall and skinny, disgustingly skinny, and likes to listen to country metal thrash music while driving. He's not incredibly fun to be around, mainly because he's extremely paranoid of everybody he works with. This paranoia has motivated him to carry an array of shotguns and rifles in all of his vehicles. Fortunately, he can't use them worth a damn.
