GAMMA RITES

Ratrix Emm (Gamma Marketeer NPC)

Tim Hartin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 18:57:24 +0000

Ratrix Emm is a Gamma Marketeer who hires freelance Searchers to bring him artifacts and other treasures that he can sell on the Gamma Market. As a rule, he treats his Searchers well and will give them relatively fair prices. In return he expects loyalty and to be treated fair as well. While Ratrix may come across as a jolly and friendly humanoid, he can be downright ruthless and deadly should the situation arise. Those who betray Ratrix’s trust end up dead. Ratix has many connections through out Downsfew Stat and even in Wiltson Stat (these connections tend to be his buyers).

He has pink skin with black splotches. His normal sized head rests upon a long and thin neck. He has two small holes where a nose should be. He has long thin fingers and toes. His arms and legs are thick and stout. His torso is equally thick and stout (some would say fat). He often dresses in orange robes which conceal his plastic armour.

His stats can be found in the following PDF: Ratrix_Emm_(H)

Since they have no skin of their own, they wear the skins of defeated enemies as if they were clothing. Some members will have the skins from multiple victims sewn into a single suit. Their first action in combat is to let out a bloodcurdling roar in an attempt to terrify their intended victim (Fear Generation). They are strictly carnivorous in their diet. Should a Gorr warrior kill his opponent, he gets first choice of the prime meat and his/her skin. The Gorr are ruled by the strongest warrior. The Gorr are predatory hunters who live for the kill.
