IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not put your players in a position where they
would have to kill any of the following NPCs. Any run involving these personalities
should involved their capture, rescue, treatment, etc. and NOT their elimination.
I don’t find the idea of murdering children at all appealing. Certain consequences
should be installed into any run involving children to insure no harm comes
to them and these consequences should involve much more than a simple loss
of payment or reputation.
Billy
Archetype: Human Kid Mage
Unlike most magical children Billy
developed the ability to use his latent magical skills at a frighteningly early
age, that of three. The first spell he ever cast was a low level acid
manipulation used to melt away the bars of his crib. His parents decided to keep
his ability secret and to not seek counseling, a decision which ultimately cost
them their lives when Billy, at the age of five, and, astonishingly, with the
aid of a fire elemental, incinerated his parents with a fireball after they
scolded him for not taking his bath. He was taken into police custody and, with
very little they could do with a five year old, placed him in the custody of a
foster family who also ended up dead within a week, this time the result of an
acid blast. Now aged seven years, and extremely intelligent for his age, Billy
has taken to living in the Barrens, surviving by putting on a little lost boy
act, getting taken in and fed by sympathetic families, and killing them on the
way out. He is currently being sought after by several corporations who would
love to get their hands on him for research purposes.
Jan
Archetype: Elven Street Kid
Trained since damn near birth to steal, Jan has broken
from her family at the age of eight and gone freelance. But not before
robbing them blind and killing them. The reasons behind her theft can be
explained as bad upbringing, but her new found love of killing is a little
foggier. All anybody knows, and there are very few anybodys, is that she
was installed with a datajack at age five and around about the time she
murdered her family she popped a BTL known as “black death”, a chip that
was in circulation for only a day before it was discovered that many of
them caused a psychotic reaction. All other users who popped the bad BTLs
are either dead or in prison. Except Jan. Jan rarely talks and lures her
victims by playing a lost little girl looking for her mommy.
Glen
Archetype: Human Kid Gang Member
Glen began firearms “training” the first time he went to
the range with his father at age six. Since then he has run away, hooked
up with a gang, acquired proficiency in a variety of semi and fully automatic
weapons, and lost much of his compassion for the rest of humanity. He is
now ten years old. His usual activities involve the infiltration of a gang,
again through the use of the long faced little boy act, and wiping them
out with an SMG while they sleep. He has also been known to commit murders
on his own, much to the dismay of his gang, the Rangers. His parents have
recently begun an effort to find their lost son.
