From publisher blurb:
In the vast realm of role-playing, characters bring stories to life. Fascinating Characters presents a unique assembly of 10 individuals, paged separately for easy printout and use, whose titles, though mundane, hide a fully fleshed-out person with their own distinct personality and past. Crafted for both gamemasters and players, this guide offers a library of intriguing NPCs and also serves as a foundation for players to mold their unique protagonists.
Orin Kael, Exoplanet Explorer: Orin Kael, known for his achievements in astrobiology and exogeology, leads a double life. His official role as an explorer hides his secret trade in exotic flora and fauna from the planets he visits, which he sells in the galactic black market.
Ajax Titan, Mecha Combat Pilot: Raised among advanced robotics, Ajax Titan became a top Mecha Combat Pilot. His impressive skills are shadowed by PTSD from a traumatic battle experience, influencing his vigilant approach to never let his mecha’s power drop too low.
Maxwell Riggs, Cargo Union Boss: Starting in the cargo logistics hub, Max became a union boss in cargo management. Known for his strategic, albeit borderline unethical, negotiation tactics, he’s essential in the starport’s logistics operations.
Rhea Santos, Pre-Salvage Expert: Rhea Santos, the “Reclaimer,” blends her passion for space history with her pre-salvage expertise. She specializes in reclaiming pre-abandoned ships and artifacts, balancing legal salvage operations with the thrill of space pirating.
