Non-Player Characters
The Innumerable AndrewThe fantasy world is full of many different and interesting people, and most of them look like Andrew. Well, okay, maybe not the Interesting ones, but the Many for sure. Any character that is just not worth the effort of describing is one of the Innumerable Andrew. Their ranks include everything from Some Guy In The Bar to Second Pastry Vendor On The Left. Even the Mayor of Bob is a card-carrying member, and he's even got a job title. Joining the ranks of the Innumerable Andrew is simple enough. One must simply appear in the comic and yet have no apparent impact or importance in the plot. This often means that you can tell if someone is going to be important if they actually have their own face. First Appearance: #51 - July 29, 2002 Status: Generally taking care of things. 
The DoctorUsually found at Suture City, the Bob hospice, The Doctor is the head physician. Also: foot physician, arm physician, clavicle physician... well, you get the point. If it's a factory-original part of you, he can treat it. The local citizenry see his tendency to attract adventurers as a necessary evil side-effect of his ability to sew them up after an especially violent Bingo night at the town hall. The Doctor has a good heart and will be happy to give it to the first person through his door that needs it and also has a valid insurance card. First Appearance: #55 - August 2, 2002 Status: Sewing bits of people back together. 
Pretty NurseA loosely-tied bundle of enthusiasm and psychosis, Pretty Nurse works in the Bob hospice. She sees the world as a happy place, despite all evidence. She also has a bit of a weak stomach. Helping out in whatever way she can, Pretty Nurse tries her hardest to make a difference in the world, as long as it doesn't ooze or gape or otherwise slither. Recently, and largely without her awareness, she has become a masked vigilante, terrorizing the otherwise perfectly content criminals of Bob with her "yucky swab of justice". First Appearance: #56 - August 5, 2002 Status: Delivering pills and swabbing scum off the streets of Bob. 
The BartenderThe only known exception to the Innumerable Andrew rule, the bartender works in a generic tavern in the town of Bob. He mixes in well with the populace, most of whom are die-hard NPCs and nearly all of whom belong to the Innumerable Andrew. The bartender has a secret, however... he is in fact one of Andrew's Player Characters from an old campaign. Thus does his appearance, but not his skill points, blend in with the average citizen of Bob. Despite this extraordinary background, no clues have been found as to what the bartender's actual name is. First Appearance: #66 - August 19, 2002 Status: Tipping bottles and lending ears. Wildcards
ElvesErniel and Bertan are on the hunt for a renegade elf, and are doing their best to leave as few clues as possible as to exactly which elf that may be. Their motivations are unclear and their intentions are hazy at best. This is in a large part due to the fact that the heroes have yet to actually meet them. However, seeing as how the heroes have the monopoly on Elves that these two could be after, this might very well be a good thing. Recently, these two lost the trail of the party and found themselves confronted by a bush full of orcs. After busying themselves with insuring the health of the heavily traumatized greenery, the elves were disappointed to find that the orcs which had attacked them had gotten sick of being ignored and wandered off. This left Bertan in an even more foul mood and Erniel with a slightly smaller sack of supplies to carry. First Appearance: #66 - August 19, 2002 Status: Continuing to not quite catch up to their target. |
