I just came up with a character who can plausibly appear in every single RPG at once!
Name: Ghost
Species: Presumed mudokon from voice.
Gender: Presumed male.
Personality: "I am the center, the hub of all your knowledge. I am the unseen who sees all. What I do not know is unknown by all. I am the truth, the deception, and the signal. I am your fears and your hopes. I am the source. I am the Ghost in the machine."
Those that have “met” Ghost seem to think he’s an okay guy, but are spooked by the mystery that he embodies. He is quite helpful in the information he provides, knowing what he does, but whether or not that information is correct is another matter. It serves his allies well, and therefore serves his own ends nicely. His sense of humour is often unappreciated.
Age: Unknown.
Appearance: No one has ever seen Ghost in person. But his remote-controlled avatar is in the form of a highly modified security orb. Indistinguishable from normal orbs, the Chant Suppressor C-dot-P is a masterpiece of engineering. If the Glukkons knew it existed, they would try anything to get their hands on it (so to speak). A dark metallic orb about 2 feet in diameter, it has a single red, faintly glowing “eye”. Slender, stiff antennas and anti-gravity conduits protrude perpendicular to the orb’s surface. The number of C.Ps in Ghost's possession are unknown.
Equipment: The exact number and nature of C.P’s modifications are unknown. Confirmed reports include:[list][*]The ability to display images on across the eyepiece.[*]A speaker that Ghost uses to communicate.[*]A small cargo area in the back of the orb[*]A variable strength zap: the ruby-red lightning bolt ranges from a harmless, painful jolt used in irritation, distraction, and Ghost’s amusement; to a decidedly lethal bolt of crispy death. Can be employed to kill and cook small animals for his allies dining “pleasure”.
Ghost himself resides in an unknown location, surrounded by the greatest collection of computer and communications technology on Oddworld. He can and does intercept every transmission on Oddworld; the screens arrayed about him display everything from C.P’s vision to CCTV to primetime television.
Occupation: Communications expert, meddler.
Bio: As someone without a past, identity or name, there is very little to say about Ghost. He could be anywhere in the world, have more than one avatar, and be in contact with any number of sapients. His motives in Meepiluch are unknown.
IC: The trees on a hill in Mudos' wilderness swayed with the breeze. A small, one-legged bird stood on a twig on the outermost branches, eyeing a beetle on an adjacent branch. The swaying of the twig moved the bird all over the place, but it managed to keep its head perfectly still, employing patience beyond that of which most sapients are capable of. Suddenly it fluttered out, darting with tremendous speed through the air, it seized the beetle in its oversized beak and wheeled back to its branch, as satisfied as a bird could be. However, the bird was confused when it encountered not its perch, but a red-shaded doppelganger, imitating it's every move. The security orb C-dot-P issued a wailing sound, thus frightening off the the feathered menace that had been obstructing its vision.
Many miles away, Ghost pressed his hands together as the image of the fledgling town filled the viewscreen.
"Ah, Meepiluch" he said, his voice echoed by the orb. "There you are. Let's see what secrets you hide..."
