Originally built by Clarence Redd the designer at FrostBite Books who are responsible for M-Space, Odd Soot and other other d100 games using the Mythras engine.
The generator assumes that the occupation or general role of the NPC is already known by the GM. Ultimately, this is driven by player choice. Do the PCs enter a hardware shop? Chat with a police patrolling the neighbourhood? This gives the GM a foundation to add the following details to.
Gender: Roll on "Gender"
Age: Roll on "Age"
Demeanour: Roll on "Demeanour"
Profession: Roll on "Post Apocalyptic Careers"
Roll on "Goals"
Roll on "Personality Type"
Roll on "Motivation"
