People, Listed By Role (OOC)

This page is for the NPCs (Non-player-characters) we've developed so far, listed by their role in the story as of the current article (B in this case).

The purpose: a list like this makes reading the NPC entries somewhat easier, and makes it easier to pick out an NPC someone else has developed if you want to use them. If you do use one, it's highly recommended you do a search for their name in the sidebar and see what's been written already (because the descriptions here are by necessity short).

Also, due to the narrative fluidity of this game (and Harrican's nature, as written so far), people are apt to appear on more than one list, and they're likely to do so even more as things go on.

What I'm saying is, this isn't a hard and fast placement. It's possible someone listed in the "friends" section will end up in the "enemies" as well, for instance. And many of these nps only have a sentence or so of description, so the placing is somewhat arbitrary in one or two cases, but I've done the best as possible given my often-goofy judgement. The point is, they're there for the using and molding and changing.

Possible Friends and Allies, As Of (B)

 * Glennis Agintrope: Artist, Syldanade's former lover.
 * Famed mercenary journalist, was tagging along with Harrican during the discovery of the Belt
 * Antonio Beta, Robot Explorer, Super Spy, and Cat Burglar of a Thousand Faces: Explored HarBeta-5 with Harrican in 1752, was supposedly a friendly rival otherwise. (According to my brother, he intended the name and title to be pronounced like "A Tribe Called Quest" or "A Pimp Named Slickback". That, is, all in one go. -smoove). Phantomed.
 * Watlington Burrow: Bank of Ingletopia president driven insane by Syldanade. (Why do all the NPC's last names in that article start with B? Because it was the B round? I did not even notice I was doing that.) Became close friends eventually, after the Bank trial.
 * Annika Ffitz-Ffinchington: Combat grammarian and Syldanade's longtime writing partner and editor. Phantomed.
 * Martha Horngell: Syldanade's longtime partner. May have been able to use a double-wide corset as a batarang. Phantomed.
 * Williams Maud: One of Harrican's crewmen. (As far as is known) missing since the Argos was scuttled in the Belt of Nertoh. His journal appears 30 years before it was written, on an unknown planet, and became the natives' holy book.
 * Dweecisco Offields: Friend of Syldanade's, avant-garde artist and dilettante.
 * Wix: Native anti-tribesman, escorted Syldanade's party through Khest Delta. Unknown if Syldanade's having been the sole survivor of that expedition refers to him as well.

Possible Enemies and/or Rivals, As of (B)

 * Chank Allen: Time-scummer who had a brilliant career as a "lawyer from the future" and another one later as a romantic poet.
 * Malinveer J. Ashmanning: Also a gentleman adventurer, main roval (so far) to Harrican. Killed in 1727 when his glyphship dissolved. See article.
 * Nigel Beam: Commander of whatever the Shadow Forces are. Rumored to have had his sense of humor surgically removed so that he could smell crime and shit fear. Wait, not shit fear. Some other thing. ("Shit fear" is infinitely cooler, though. I should've written "shit fear." Live and learn I guess.)
 * Antonio Beta, Robot Explorer, Super Spy, and Cat Burglar of a Thousand Faces: Explored HarBeta-5 with Harrican in 1752, was supposedly a friendly rival otherwise. (According to my brother, he intended the name and title to be pronounced like "A Tribe Called Quest" or "A Pimp Named Slickback". That, is, all in one go. -smoove). Phantomed.
 * Pauline Giacomo: Astrophysicist and acclaimed author, apparently made it her life mission to discredit/slander/prove Harrican wrong.
 * Pelisius Ipswitch: Yeoman of the doomed flagship "Officer Low-Belly". Presumed dead, since Harrican crashed his baneship through the bridge.
 * Tommy Law: Represented the Robotic Anti-Disassembly League in their suit against Syldanade and won, despite not actually having a Terran law license. Turn-ons: no disassemble. Turn-offs: disassemble.
 * Theodoren Van Rax: Co-founder and First Corporate Vizier of the Brexton-Rax Consortium. Was probably evil, or at least very dominance-oriented. Comitted suicide in 1752.
 * Vanthraxus the Nebula-Gorger, Gentleman Overlord: Presumably his name and title have some truth to them. Tried to conquer the Belt of Nertoh, was stopped by a vacationing Syldanade (suggested that Syldanade has stopped him before). Seems to enjoy "utopia-building" military actions, polite fisticuffs, and manners (other likes and dislikes unknown). Dislikes being punched in the ovipositor. Phantomed.

Other Scholars/Experts, Sometimes Quoted

 * Ebo Orrinde: Archaeo-musicologist.
 * Quentin Quelfin: Art biologist, alive in 1893. Also alive (and working) sometime in the early 1700's (was present for Naombe M'x doing something terrible to Eden Prime). Possibly decendants?
