STOCK CHARACTERS
By Jonathan Hicks
CAMPAIGN CHARACTERS
The
following characters are possible individuals the PC’s may come across. The stats
presented with each character are based on the original edition rules and will only
require a little work to get them to fit into whatever house rules you have in your group.
Each character has their own agenda and have been designed for long-term use in an
on-going campaign. None of the characters has been designed with a specific location or
campaign style in mind. Feel free to change the modus
operandi of the character to suit your own game.
MALC SENURE - Human mercenary who has a knack of
finding prime equipment. His network of contacts is varied but dangerous; the network
includes two Hutt’s. He has his ear to the underground and also acts as an infobroker
when the mood takes him. He dresses in very well kept grey combat fatigues and also puts
on a blast vest (+1 energy, +2 blunt, no DEX penalty) when the needs be. He has a long,
boyish face and light brown hair that always seems to be falling into his eyes.
MOTIVATION: Credits, mostly, but he will work for
less if it means increasing his network.
OBJECTIVES: To make enough credits to retire early.
PERSONALITY: He is cautiously friendly, and will
not stick his head out for anyone unless it benefits him.

his appearance and lifestyle, and tries to get the best paid jobs.

HEENA - This blue Twi’lek female is a
rarity in the known galaxy- she’s free. As most Twi’lek girls are doomed to
slavery, she managed to get free of her master by murdering him. Unfortunately, murdering
a Hutt, Jiga, brings great repercussions, and she has been running ever since from the two
Hutt’s left in the clan, Renko and Halgutta. She tries to hide her headtails under a
large hood.

WEDEK NORSS - Human male officer of any large
business security. Middle-aged, with thinning hair and a small moustache. Idealistic when
young, but now rather jaded. Wants the best for his organisation but is sick of outsiders
(i.e. Imperials) from interfering. Very friendly and helpful but will take some convincing
that his employer is even a little corrupt.

Although the stats are incredibly simple, you’ll find they’ll be suitable for an NPC that you need just to fill in a few minutes or maybe even a single game. These characters are not designed for long-term use, and if the GM wishes to make them something more then it will require a little work to add extra details to flesh out the character.
