Bio: Knobby is a shortened, familiar version of his Gnomish name, used for the convenience of the other sapients he encounters. As is the Lunar Gnome tradition, Knobby's full name, which reflects twenty generations of genealogical information, is recorded in a book stored in his family homestead on Luna: it was spoken once in its entirety, at his birth, and will be spoken in its entirety only one more time, at his funeral. Knobby joined The Gnomish Space Marines to get away from the family homestead and see the Spheres. His current rotation is as a quartermaster with the logistics department. His mission is to acquire a large quantity of Smoke Powder on Terra. He is relaxing at the Queen of Wands after opening negotiations with the owner of the Wiley Alchemist Shop.

Technically, he was created as if he has the Marine Kit from The Complete Spacefarer's Handbook and the Spy Kit from The Complete Book of Thieves, but this has a very small impact on his stats.

Bio: Gummers was born on Luna to a family of Giff mercenaries on long-term contract with the Gnomish Space Marines. He believes it is his destiny to follow in his family's footsteps. He saw some action during the Satellite Wars (also known as the Great Flayer War of Terra-Sphere), but failed to distinguish himself. His current assignment is to act as bodyguard and assistant to Corporal Knobby.

Giff as a PC race and the Marine Kit, as well as the Spacemanship Non-Weapon Proficiency are drawn from The Complete Spacefarer's Handbook.

Bio: Claudius is the only child of a very minor branch of the Emerald family: He is approximately 215th in line for the Senatorship and keenly aware of his relative lack of prestige. Knowing that he will not attain prestige by fair means, Claudius has taken up the foul pursuit of assassination and done well thus far.
Cassia, Claudia, and Octavia are second cousins and somewhat closer to the Senatorship at only about a hundred places removed. They've never met their cousin Claudius and are unaware of his existence. Claudius is actually discreetly trying to spy on them to determine whether pursuing a marriage with Octavia would be worth it for the boost in family prestige.
If asked about what he does for a living, Claudius claims to be a military operative. This is not entirely a lie; during the Freeland War, Claudius eliminated officers on both sides of the conflict for pay. A few Terran Empire generals still contract Claudius for “targeted personnel removal”.


The Assassin character class is detailed in the Players Handbook for AD&D 1st edition, the table for their special assassination attack is in the 1e DGM. Pretty much everything else about Claudius is bog standard 2e PHB stuff.

Bio: Skinner signed up for the Terran Imperial Legion right at the start of the Freeland war. After he completed basic combat training, his superiors upon learning of Skinner's up-bringing on a horse farm, moved him to the logistics division as a muleskinner. He did well within his MOS and still saw action and killed enemy soldiers. He's now retired on half-pay and dreams of opening a brewery. He affects a cynical, world-weary demeanor but secretly he easily develops warm feelings for colleagues.

Background: While the provincial militia and imperial legion are always happy to have a healthy, strapping lad like Johnathan join them, Johnathan took a slightly different path and signed on with a Barbarian Tribe of the Orca whaling ship. He learned to love the ocean, as well as how to fight and gamble and sing.



Now, he's made landfall and is considering adventuring as a means to raise the Gold for a ship of his own.



[Some background on this project:  For a while, I've had this thought:  I basically reject the very idea of 0-level NPCs in 1e and 2e.  Everyone of adult age is classed as something and at least level 1.  Anyways, found an old 120 page notebook and decided to start populating a world.  For speed, I decided this initial batch would be done 3d6 straight down the line.  
The Comeliness attribute from Unearthed Arcana is used here, but it can be ignored.]
