I play OTE primarily, but also have a decent OnTE habit. This is squarely in the OTE camp, though. Your players might run into this person anywhere and everywhere. I'd first thought to place him in the Terminal and then have him show up occasionally later in the series: The Toymaker: This guy might be Santa in the off hours. Nobody knows where he came from but he seems innocuous enough. He’s short and krinkly, except for his beard, which is long and krinkly. Possibly of Basque descent, he seems to speak no language that the characters know. He hands each character an object. If a character refuses the object, he sticks his tongue out and continues on to the next character. Today, he’s handing out purple super-balls. They don’t do anything special, unless you need them to. The Toymaker is short and swarthy, with a long greying beard. His mustache is cigar stained and he is neither skinny nor stout, though he is slightly bent. He always seems to have really cool toys on hand, which he gives away for free. Occasionally they’re even useful. In the past, he's been known to hand out Tinkertoys (the wooden ones), individual Lincoln Logs, a Mr. Potato Senator that had a miniature camera in one of the eyes, and koosh balls that may have actually been extradimensional sub-sentient pets. Toymaking (5 dice): Although always cool, his toys sometimes have practical applications as well. Because nobody can understand him, however, it's up to the toy's new owner to figure out what it does. He seems to understand English, when it suits his purpose, and has even been known to accept requests for particular toys. In these cases, though, the client doesn't usually get exactly what they want, but rather something that they need. He never does this for money; only for those people that he likes. What makes him like somebody is a mystery. (Leaves a trail of Weeble-wobbles wherever he goes) Have fun, Scott McD.

I love the concept. It's fun to >play. It fits in any deck. His action does exactly what the card >description says he does (i.e. gets someone to leave their post by chasing >him) And, it's a great picture. > Most of the Low-lifes are about that good, I especially like the Shameless Psychofant ("He's dying to be your right hand man.") My favorite, though, is Chris Robinson. He's got the weirdest card "ability" I've ever seen on a CCG card. And the concept is one we're all familiar with. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Trevor Stone =-=-=-=-= tstone @ robin . ml . org =-=-=-=-=-=-= Eclectic philosopher, New Vista computer admin, gamer, witster, esotericist. http://robin.ml.org/~tstone/ Thou bootless beetle-headed ruffian!
