Some possible NPCs on La Oruga. Players are advised to not read further, as these characters serve as inspiration and plot catalysts for scenarios.

Chief of Police

Aleksandr (he/him) has served as an Enforcer for several decades. Known for being very strict, he has a not-so-secret soft spot for children and small animals. Nevertheless, he takes his duties seriously, striving to ensure a peaceful and safe city.

As the newly appointed Chief of Police for the Watdsport district, he has a fair amount of power. Fortunately for Rift operatives, he uses that power subtly, helping reduce sentences for them and routing his Enforcers away from areas where operatives might be meeting.

Traits:

• Enforcement 2
• Community driven 1
• Tough 2
• Strong 1
• Stern 1
• Injured (Prosthetic Leg) 2

Double Agent

Dmitar (he/him) is one of Rift's finest operatives, having spent years working on changing the landscape of La Oruga. His public persona is an accountant, and he uses the information acquired by day to guide Rift operations.

However, Dmitar is far from what he seems. All his time gaining favor with his Rift higher-ups has put him in a position of power. He has been subtly sabotaging Rift operations - not always to the point at which they fail, but just enough that they can't be called “great successes”. His goal is to slowly cause enough failures that he can build an evidence train to give to the Directorate.

Traits

• Data Analyst (Accountant) 1
• Glory driven 1
• Patient 2
• Sneaky 1
• Arrogant 2

Beloved Icon

Radha (she/her) is well known throughout La Oruga as one of the leading musicians. Blending traditional Indian music with more recent rock music, her style speaks to Founders of all generations. Despite the heavy style of her music, her lyrics spread messages of understanding one another and working for a better future.

Radha is a valuable asset to Rift. Though she's only marginally aware of its presence, she supports the cause and tries to use her music for the betterment of humanity. However, the Directorate is suspicious of her. She knows that if she speaks out too much, she might meet with an “accident”, but also knows that the resulting outrage would make her a martyr.

Traits:

• Artist (Musician) 3
• Community-driven 1
• Charismatic 2
• Compassionate 1
• Well spoken 1
• Fearful (Afraid to speak out and cause division) 1
