D100*4 VOIDRATS (Sci-fi Horror NPCs)

 Written up for Mothership, but will probably work for any worn-in sci-fi horror. Combine with the Contact Disclosure Report to create a whole web of outer space denizens.

Not much to say here! There's four lists: Names, Occupations, Looks, and Wants. They're meant to feel worn-in, human, and sometimes a little unsettling. 
 
A few folks spit out from these table have made a brief appearance in game before being blasted apart by a combat shotgun. In a world where life is cheap and death is cheaper, having a bunch of characters to pull from is handy!

This is part of a longer project to (in my fevered imagination) write up about a thousand entries apiece, and then spit them into some kind of neat in-world document layout. (Because I have no impulse control: a notes app name list become a spreadsheet and a spreadsheet becomes four columns and a hundred-plus entries becomes an attempt at a thousand.) We'll see how it goes!

(Check out 200 Patches, and 100 Trinkets, if that's helpful, too.)
