The Posse(s):
My First Posse
The players made me take a hiatus and to quote one of them "Read the books".
Grimjack(Junker):Gunner's partner in the Hell Riders adventure, he disappeared after helping defeat Atheron.
Gunner(Gunslinger):Willy's first character for HOE, he ended up bouncing in and out of my campaigns(depending on which sheet Willy showed up with). Known for a dog the posse wanted to shoot and for having an extra 100 or so Bounty points that I don't remember giving him.
Supernatural S.W.A.T. Team
These guys(and gal) are the reason all I want for Christmas is a monster that'll last more than 3 rounds(true story).
Tom Blissken(Jericho Syker):Part of an experiment by Jericho to teach greenies overkill, he survived and went on to become the longest lasting posse member. Last seen in Eureka, MT.
Traveller(Outcast Doomsayer):The group's "mobile artillery battery", he holds the in-game sex, body count, and pissin' people off records. Last seen in Junkyard after dealing with the "Death Bats" in Mountain Home, ID.
Travis(Templar):Proof that the "Destiny" Mysterious Past is a tool of the Reckoners, this character has the least number of kills, is addicted to flaming spook juice, has carried six swords at one time, and is known for running(Pace 14) directly into the posse's line of fire and giving away any firearms he has to annoying NPCs. Last seen in the Utah Badlands, telling everyone he meets how he saved Traveller and Tom.
Derrick(Huckster):Traveler's college roomate, he became a card-slinging mage by reading some books from an occult bookstore before the War. Also known as "The Backlash King" in our game. Last seen, headed back to New Lubbock to establish the Hunter Academy(more on this later) and open his huckster-training school.
Forrest Bender(Merc):This guy and his beat-up pickup have showed up in and out of all my campaigns. He was at Sierra Vista, AZ in the first game and since has managed to find trouble to get into. Last seen in Hickory Bend, UT looking for a crane to get his truck out of the river.
Chase(Road Warrior):With the Gearhead knack and his 2077 Mustang/monster truck combo, this "I'm Normal!" character has yet to find a road he can't drive on at top speed. Last seen in Junkyard, getting work done on his car with the $2000 he made for helping with the Boise Horror.
Shiann(Witch):She met the posse in Texaco, NM after a walkin' dead ambush. After a few tense moments(when Tom discovered she was carrying a sack full of human skulls), she went on to sleep with Traveller(repeatedly), talk to dead people, and generally do a lot of nothing useful. Last seen leaving Junkyard, muttering "I need baby animal fat..."
Blindside(Banshee Syker):Joined up with the group during the Destroyer adventure. Helped recover Evanor and stop the Boise Horror. Last seen in Junkyard, using his namesake to escape a lurker gang.
Griffin(Toxic Rad Shaman):This Indian shaman/Sky Pirate joined the group in the middle of "The Boise Horror". Known for derailing that adventure(God, I hate Pulse) and carrying a lot of spook juice in his 2081 Dodge Grinder. Last seen in Eureka, MT with Tom. Update: He's in Denver with Traveller.
Casca(Templar):This Templar followed Jo's philosphy on all things. He packed a well used SA M-260 SAW. Known in my group as "the smart Templar", he's also known for killing the Boise Horror, dying and being ressurected by John Wayne(yes, I know, that's not how it's suppossed to be done, but it was cool to have the Duke(in spirit form) show up in the Down Under and tell Casca "get up, pilgrim. You still got work to do.")
Jamison and Hazard
These two characters were played over the course of a 5-day gaming binge.
Jamison(Infiltrator Cyborg/Law Dog):A veteran of the Weird West, Jamison was recruited by the Texas Rangers, killed by bandits, and came back Harrowed. He was converted into an infiltrator in 2044 and participated in several dozen operations before the Last War. Afterwards, he met up with A.C., a Harrowed robohunter(see Boot Hill). His current partner is Luke, a biker/Templar. Known for his modified Peterbilt, the Peacemaker, he was last seen in the ruins of Las Cruces, NM.
Hazard(Junker):This unfortunate soul met Jamison in Junkyard when the former stopped a "Beast from Beyond" from eating him. They went on to get arrested several times, get chased by a Utah rattler, and stop the skinwalkers in "Sick and Tired". Last seen in Junkyard as a permanent member of the Junker Row community as it's "safer than hangin' out with that crazy 'borg".
Luke(Biker/Templar):Jamison's current partner. Helped him stop the "Kids O' Death" in Las Cruces, NM.
The Damocles/Biosphere/Red Mesa Gang
Spitz(Harrowed Scientist from Red Mesa):Known for destroying stuff accidentally and being the only PC to default a shootin' roll. Last seen leaving Globe, AZ headed to Junkyard
Bob(Harrowed Damocles Guy):After nearly being eaten by rust mites, this character went through the Biosphere and was last seen in a Humvee headed to Junkyard with Spitz.
Jeff(Col.Stark):Sniper and Marshal's plot device. Saved the party's collective butt in Biosphere 2 by defaulting his drivin' roll.
Professor(Damocles Soldier):Member of Bob's unit. His luck kicked in again when he accidentally shot Tomb Stone in the head for 4 wounds.
Tim(Earth Syker):Found out that breaking your TSAR is a bad way to waste your money.
