Cogflower Caravan: Who is who?

This is a reference document for new players of the Ultraviolet Grasslands campaign on the Gauntlet that should help you getting to know all the relevant PCs and NPCs of the caravan. It will be updated to reflect the current situation (Season 10)

Auto wagons travelling towards the Black City
Current PCs:

Naida: A Yellowlander Climate Refugee and Scope (member of the Legion of the Far Sight). The Legion is a semi-secret society that tries to fight crime on the roads of the Grasslands and around the Circular Sea. Bone grenade aficionada. She is accompanied by Ajax, a grumpy exiled Cat Lord with a serpent tail and Otis, the animatronic bear.

The Vile are a species of (demonic?) rulers from the Long Long Ago. She is accompanied by Cataract,Wire-and-bone biomechanical salamander.

Outfitted with positronic double brain, extendable limbs and laser eyes. Accompanied by a furry animate kite. Seeking a prosthetic body for mother.

Current NPCs:

Vigo Brastec: A tall, thin, pale Ghost Hunter with chains wrapped around his body. Hired in the Violet City. Frequently high on Purple Haze and playing an ornate silver flute. Chews his nails.

The Wicker and Bone Fetish: A simple golem with a bird skull, bought at the Grass Colossus to guard the caravan. Slightly creepy.

Amberto Azul: Bearded Anthropologist in a pompous uniform. Hired at the Behemoth Shell. Proud and plucky but secretly inept. 1 HP!

Ostens: A marksman and member of the Legion. On his quest to search for the missing caravans at Three Sticks Lake. He wears a full suit of false limbs, attached to his torso with a system of leather golems and biomechanical switches.Nobody has ever asked him why.

Babeffe, the Bull: An ageing wrestler hired at the Spectrum Lodge.

The Hollow Armed Man: Basic Defense Golem bought at a Satrap Outpost. Armed with a laser rifle.

The Crystal Snail: Not a NPC per se, but an important item that once held the memories of Satrap 88, Saffron and Johnny-7. Currently possessed by Soba do Garoba, a powerful Ultra (ghost).

Amberto Azul
Former PCs, who might get mentioned:

Hamish Mac Rainbow: A Redland District Folk Hero with a black motorbike and rainbow-colored beard. Wielder of the Fractal Blade. Slayer of  a maddened Ka-Elemental. His heroic reputation vastly exceeds his actual deeds but he's working on living up to the legend. Occasionally riding a black metal motorcycle.

Kozue: An Elven Moon Mountain Witch, a soothsayer from the Sister of the Near Moon. Her singing spirit in a pink bottle aids her in her auguries.

Nat Mordecai, a Cogflower Necromantic Lawyer,  caravan leader and representative of the Cogflower Church that funded the enterprise: Soft Spoken and sly. In a relationship with Casey, an Armadilloid, they met on the Steppe of the Lime Nomads. Casey is deeply in love with Nat. Nat's feelings towards him are unknown.

Satrap 88: A Satrap (creature of light in a colorful space suit with bubble helmet) who died at the psychic battle at the City Mountain. Got resurrected in the Violet City but without their memories. 


Johnny-7

Former NPCs:

Johnny-7: Huge decaying autofac (multi purpose auto-factory) whose personality was fused with Saffron's. 

The Replacement Body: A fine, compliant creature with featureless face. Has no soul. Creepy as fuck.
(now possessed by Soba do Garoba, a ghost, who left the caravan)

  1. I think you meant Hamish MacRainbow; Wielder of the fractal blade, bane of the Hammibals, shatterer of the porcelain throne, slayer of Ka-Elementals, ally of the Shattered Chain, hero to all the folk of the rainbow lands.
