NPCs

Ambergrease

  • Desperately wants Lord B4´s services to get revenge on Russian, whom they are not allowed to kill.
  • Has the skills, facilities and tools to maintain Dakota´s vehicle
  • Got in Mr Static´s way recently and he had to hurt them
  • Foreman of The Garage, unwilling to step up to Hardholder after Dog´s departure.

August - Runs The Chapel.

Dog

  • B4 messed up their brain so bad they barely know what´s up and what´s down
  • The former Hardholder of Emberville, now a lone wretch after having his brain scrambled when Lord B4 tried to brain-manipulate him.

Dustwitch

  • Is in deep emotional debt to Sioux for saving their life
  • Is terrified of Lord B4 and wants them gone, the sooner the better
  • Has a vehicle that is more haunting and eerie than Dakota´s; seemingly just showing up in unlikely places.

Exit

  • An operator in Emberville, handling work contracts, messengers and other unstated business. Indeterminately gendered and dressed in covering clothing.

Fleece - Muscle, sometimes working for Roark. Woman, well-maintained haircut and a leather duster.

Grome - a guard from the market, blooded and hurt by The Russian because of a gambling "incident".

Hatchet

  • One of the blackfingers working under Ambergrease in The Garage. Had a fight in the underground market with Lord B4 about a lost shipment of stimulants.

Jo - a pleasure boy/bartender working at Tip´s establishment.

Hawthorne - A day-laborer in Emberville who broke his leg clearing a roof.

Nothing

  • Needs Sioux´s care and attention on a regular basis. (He ventures out into the storms to seek visions and more, and goes out of his way to help people even if he suffers from it.)
  • The maelstrom has told Mr Static that he is a harbinger of destruction, decay and barbarism - he will bring ruin. (Nothing tried to deescalate and explain himself; Static wanted none of it but didn´t hurt him as he haven´t yet commited a crime.)

Post-it - a camp follower in Emberville.

Prim - an Enginer, a senior mechanic, in The Garage. Tasked by Ambergrease to fix Dakota´s truck.

Roark

  • A scavenger leading her team out into the wastes.
  • Has access to medical supplies that Sioux needs
  • Dakota often helps them get where they need to go


Rum - One of Roark´s men who had a strange change of heart after a chat with Nothing and Mr. Static.

Russian

  • A warrior, muscle and go-between/collector for Thrice the Warlord. Enjoys his job way too much.
  • Pushing Ambergrease to bend the knee and swear fealty, regardless of the foreman´s feelings on leadership.

Tip - owner of the best bar/pleasure establishment in Emberville.

Notable places

Emberville One of the larger holds, having subsumed The Garage

Evermore The fortress-hold of Thrice, whom Emberville - in theory - pays tribute to.

The Garage A repair- and chop shop with the finest blackfingers in the region. Ambergrease is the elder.

Kilead A hold knows for its´ breweries.

South Bend A place that has "bullet farmers", some of which trade with the Market (and Exit).

The Chapel - A place some distance outside Emberville, mentioned by Dakota.

Gangs and other factions

Toll Killektors - a gang/militia "Protecting" the highways west. Models themselves cargo cult-style after old highway patrols of old.
