Medium npc's have some influence and can be created by players with my approval. Minor npc's only need to be in here if they are reoccurring. Minor npc's really aren't important enough to be in this forum

    Name: Mayor Carson Cline Position: Mayor

    Apparent Age: 50s Sex: Male

    Tag words: Mayor, helpful, supporter, the Cline initiative

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: The City of New Hope

    Status: Alive and in office. The mayor is stressed due to the recent crime waves.

    Believed alignment/legality: The mayor has his political enemies, but appears to play by the rules and is even noted for refusing to stoop to smear campaigns during elections.

    Thoughts on Meta-people: The mayor publicly supports meta-people who use their powers for good. However, he also frowns on vigilantism and backed a city plan (The Something initiative) to invite meta-people to join the police force as special officers.

    Beliefs: He seems to truly believe in his job and the power to help the people of the city. He remains unaffiliated with major political parties, as city law requires, but leans towards liberal plans.

    Description: A tall man with graying hair. He often smiles, but the wrinkles around his eyes and forehead show the effects that the job has on him. He wears nice, but off label suits and tries to appear to be a common business man.

    Notes: The mayor can be a powerful ally of a law abiding meta-person, especially if they join with the something initiative. He will only ask that you obey the laws of the city.

    Name: Police Commissioner Peter Tarfin

    Position: Police Commissioner (elected supervisory position responsible for relations with the public and other areas)

    Apparent Age: 60’s Apparent sex: Male

    Tag words: Commissioner, wimp

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: New Hope Police, City of New Hope,

    Status: Alive and in office, he is stressed over the recent crime waves
    Believed alignment/legality: While working in a public office, the commissioner often appears to be one of the seedier politicians. His campaigns are full of mud slinging and he has been mocked for seeking media attention and jumping on public fear band wagons. There have been a few scandals, but no allegations have stuck to him.

    Thoughts on Meta-People: Publicly, it depends on the political tide. When something heroic happens he is the first to be there shaking the persons hand for photo ops, when something negative (or at least perceived that way by the public) happens, he is the first to be on tv condemning the actions. Privately he knows that meta-people are needed to fight meta-villains and will try to use heroes to do so.

    Beliefs: Money and Power. He values himself and his own power and safety above all other things. He thinks people are out to get him and tends to be paranoid about his political enemies plots.

    Description: A short squat man with a receding grey hair line, he wears fine glasses. He wears fancy and expensive suits and tends to whine about his health and problems.

    Notes: He is an ass. He will bitch and moan about his problems and ask for favors without ever repaying them if he can help it. One moment we will be begging you to rush into a burning building and the next complaining that caused the city money when you broke the hydrant to use the water to put out the building.

    Name: Deputy Police Chief Walter Windle

    Position: Deputy Police Chief – In New Hope City this is the highest non-elected position. The Deputy Police Chiefs are usually real cops who oversee the departments police matters.

    Apparent Age: 60s Apparent sex: Male

    Tag words: Deputy Police Chief, lawfull, cline initiative,

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: Police and allegedly a good friend of Captain Hope

    Status: Alive and pissed off over the crime wave

    Believed alignment/legality: Very lawful, but known to look the other way as long as justice is served and no one gets hurt

    Thoughts on Meta-People: Same as people, good ones should stay so and bad ones should be behind bars

    Beliefs: People are basically good and basically stupid. Someone has to protect them from the nastier things out there and he’s damn proud of his boys

    Description: Tall, bald and stands up straight. He holds himself up like a general and is often seen as a father figure to other police.

    Notes: Windle is a good guy, his job is made difficult by Tarfin and he is known to vent about having a civilian in power over him

    Name: Randy the Rabid Rat Roscoe (or something)

    Position: Radio shock jock and news host

    Apparent Age: 40’s Apparent sex: male

    Tag words: radio, news, shock jock

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: WKNH radio

    Status: Alive and working

    Believed alignment/legality: Chaotic Good. Randy seems to want the world to be a better place, but tends to delve into offensive and inflammatory material. He is also known for his pranks and angry rants.

    Thoughts on Meta-People: They make great material for rants and news shows. He only trusts ones that are government sanctioned (unless he thinks its part of a conspiracy) and believes all the rest are probably dangerous and up to no good.

    Beliefs: As a narcissist he loves little more than hearing his own voice. He believes most meta-people are evil, or have the potential to be so and are therefore too dangerous to be free. He is always suspicious of the motives unless they have a clear government backing and no scandals.

    Description: Tall, thin and with crazy black hair. He often wears outlandish leather outfits. He is a shameless flirt and will proposition most females upon meeting them.

    Notes: He’s not dangerous per say, but he has enough listeners to sway public opinion.

    Name: Tompson Technology

    Position: Huge corporation with its fingers in much of the US tech industry including military weapons

    Apparent Age: founded in 1903

    Tag words: Tompson, tech, military, science, meta research

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: Alleged to have many politicians in its pockets, it is also a major supplier to most of the US Armed Forces.

    Status: Making tons of money and staying largely Scandal Free. After the explosion of the top floors of corporate headquarters in New Hope City and the rumors that Captain Hope was Trevor Tompson, Tompson Tech is seen as a loved company.

    Meta-Powers (if any): It is rumored, and denied by the company, to have experimented in meta technology

    Believed alignment/legality: Its a large corporate business

    Thoughts on Meta-People: No official corporate stance. However Trevor Tompson was known to argue for metapeople rights


    Description: A giant multi-billion dollar corporation that produces tech, scientific research and weaponry

    Notes: Tompson Tech is a household name. While it produces very few private goods that a typical person would buy, components made by the company are in many household devices. Due to the rumors about Captain Hope and an extremely costly public awareness campaign, everyone has at least heard of the company.

    Owner: DJ, but feel free to involve employees, offices, etc. Just leave company policy, intrigue, etc to DJ

    Name: The Boss

    Position: Meta-person, mob boss, criminal, leader of The Organization

    Apparent Age: unknown Apparent sex: Male

    Tag words: villain, meta, mastermind, dangerous

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: The Organization. Numerous gang groups and mob families were loyal to him. The most noted were the Demons, The Faithful, the 54th street killers, The Capiello Family and the Chinese gang that I haven't named yet

    Status: Missing, possibly dead – last seen in an exploding building

    Meta-Powers: Largely unknown, however during fights with Captain Hope, it was revealed that The Boss seemed to have high strength, was able to absorb hits that would have killed a normal man, was able to wrap shadow around himself and was able to fling fire from his hands.

    It has also been believed that The Boss is highly intelligent and has a keen insight on the human mind. He is very skilled with blackmail and bribery.

    Believed alignment/legality: Evil and power hungry. The Boss wanted to rule the city and almost did so. He is no stranger to getting his hands dirty, but prefers to let his various minions do the work for him. He is also known to use bribery, blackmail and political scandal to get his way.

    Thoughts on Meta-People: Known to employ meta criminals

    Beliefs: He seems to want to rule the city. Oddly enough, he seems to want to actually gain control of the government and be seen as a legitimate power.

    Description: The Boss was known to wear Incredibly expensive business with expensive hooded business coats. Through careful planning, tricks of the light, his face was rarely seen under the hood, but what could be seen was a pale Caucasian male. Captain Hope once publicly stated that given The Boss’s penchant for trickery, he wouldn’t be shocked that the face seen through the hood was a disguise.

    Notes: The Boss was one of the major meta-villains while he was active. After his disappearance/death, the various families and gangs he had united fell apart without his strong rule. It is rumored that The Boss was incredibly charismatic and that many of those who were loyal to him treated him as a priest or god-figure.

    Name Zack Murphy Position: Teen boy

    Apparent Age: 16 Apparent sex: Male

    Tag words: Meta

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: none

    Status: Zack’s parents died a few years ago and he has lived on the streets since. He keeps to himself

    Meta-Powers (if any): None known

    Believed alignment/legality: He steals food and supplies to survive, but does it to survive . . . usually. He can be angry, but blames himself for his families death and hates the idea of hurting people.

    Thoughts on Meta-People: If they are so great why didn’t one of them save his family

    Beliefs: Life’s a bitch and it’s my fault my parents are dead, I can’t give you a reason, but I feel it deep down, I’m a bad person.

    Description: An average height teen male. His hair is brown and his eyes are blue. He wears a bright green baseball cap that has “Murphy & Sons” stitched in white on it. He lives on the streets and as such wears multiple layers of dirty dirty clothing. He often has 3-4 layers of pants, jackets and gloves on.

    Notes: Any medical doctor will tell you that Zack had nothing to do with his parents death, in fact most would tell you about the sad child sitting by the side of their beds crying and praying. But nevertheless Zack believes he is at fault and ran away from child services. He has lived in the streets and keeps to himself due to his guilt.

    Tag words: criminal, meta, organization

    Type: Major

    Affiliations: The Organization

    Status: Alive

    Meta-Powers (if any): None known

    Believed alignment/legality: criminal, but the kind with loyalty. He has a rep for never turning on anyone who hasn’t wronged him

    Thoughts on Meta-People: whatever

    Beliefs: loyalty, power, money. The strong rule the weak. Craton doesn’t think he’s the strongest and is happy to attach himself to someone who is.

    Description: A tall black man with close cropped hair. Craton is known to never show emotions and some have said that he makes the same face while ****ting, ****ing and killing people

    Notes: Craton is a career second-in-command and has no problem with it. He doesn’t believe he is strong enough to rule and has made it a point to become as useful as possible to those who he thinks are. Craton is a criminal, but very loyal. Don’t let his self-esteem fool you, Craton is a very dangerous man.

    Name: Tian Xia

    Position: Prominent largely Chinese mob

    Apparent Age: Active in the city since the 80's Apparent sex: largely male

    Tag words: Tian Xia, mob

    Type: Major, though feel free to have run ins with lowly members

    Affiliations: The Xia threw in with The Boss during his rise to power.

    Status: By allying with The Boss the Xia became the largest asian criminal organization in the city. The higher-ups managed to stay out of jail after The Boss's disappearance, though fearing that The Boss was gone and Captain Hero not, the mob had kept itself largely hidden for years.

    Meta-Powers (if any): almost entirely human, though many trained in martial arts

    Believed alignment/legality: Criminals, but "lawful" ones. They have many traditions and believe in personal honor, though not to quite the stereotypical view that some westerners have of them.

    Thoughts on Meta-People: none

    Beliefs: They are slightly disdainful of non-asians and put a large emphasis on personal honor and physical prowess.

    Description: A largely asian gang. Originally solely Chinese but during the late 90's began including east-asianers

    Notes: A dangerous gang that tends to focus on drugs, weapons and extortion. While their are a few street level gangs that swear loyalty to the Tian Xia, the actual members of the mob are to high-class to lower themselves to street crime.

    Notes: It is now dead, but many fear that there are signs that the recent criminal surge might be due to The Organization trying to rise again.
