NPC: Damian the River Pimp

[Raellus]

Inspired by some of the recent NPC encounter threads (all great stuff, BTW), I whipped up a formal profile for a rather colorful character that popped up in my Pirates of the Vistula PbP campaign a few years back. I probably went a little overboard with the details (I'm still worried that I forgot something), but this NPC/encounter provides several options for side-missions and could be easily modified for almost any post-apocalyptic campaign.

Due to file size limitations, I had to split the write-up into two parts. The really juicy stuff is in the second part. I tried to keep the whole thing as close to PG-13 as possible.

Constructive feedback is welcome.

Feel free to use this in your own campaigns. If, however, if you repost any of it, please give the original author (me) due credit. Thanks and enjoy.

Yes!

I've been looking forward to this one since these articles first started, thanks for sharing such a memorable character with us, Rae.

PG-13 means the content suitable for viewing by anyone aged 13 or over, or with parental guidance for younger people. In this context it means no boobs or graphic descriptions of sexual naughtiness.

Red Dawn was the first PG-13 rated film so that gives you an idea of what they can show. Violence, little/no swearing, no nudity.

There really was a huge gap between PG and R at that point in time so it was a good addition IMO.

I was 15 or 16 when the first PG-13 movies came out. One shot of bare female breasts were apparently allowed, if there was no major violence. Believe me, I paid attention to that.

Oh, and well done, this is very realistic in my mind. Yucky, but real.
