If you could play as an existing notable, awesome, or iconic NPC from any of the books or official Rifter material available for Palladium Fantasy (1e or 2e), which NPC from which book/page would you choose, and why?
That's a fascinating premise for an adventure.
Pretty much any of the Northmoore crowd from LoTD1 would work well for it, since they were built specifically for that purpose. Otherwise...
Emperor Voelkian Itomas (taking the Emperor out of his empire and making him rely on himself rather than others could be interesting)
The Slayer of Mountains (probably overpowered, but a living legend of a figure)
One of the Cyclops royalty from High Seas could be interesting, especially if they're also lightning smiths.
Some of the pirate N.P.C.'s from High Seas might be fun. I remember a genius troll captain from 1st Edition.
That assassin from The Old Ones. The one that hunts you down if you pick up the super-awesome rune dagger. That could be fun to play.
One of the undead rulers of the Eternal Torment in Land of the Damned 2 could be really interesting.
The avatar of the Millennium Tree in the Eastern Territory book could be fun. Maybe it develops a separate consciousness? I'm thinking of a cross between Groot and Treebeard.
The old Wolfen soldier (from Wolfen Empire, I think) who is a survivor of the Algor Range Huntsman genocide. That would be fun.
