Notable Colony NPCs
Just for some continuity in scenes, and to give a sense of familiarity, the NPCs I Roleplay for the Colony will be mentioned here. Please feel free to use them!
Ruby Tuesday Rrrr't Shadow Seer, and head Mama in the Colony. Very wise, very easy going, and a somewhat unique sense of humor. She's currently running her own Rat Genome Project, and is very studious and attentive to which genes are missing from the pool, and how to acquire them. Needless to say, this makes the Rat Mama somewhat promiscuous. But it's all in the name of the Wyld, and she regards her business affairs and duties with a professional, albeit pleasant, manner. She's African American, and very comely (Read, dead fuckin' sexy!) For a rat.
