## Tout Rico Sparks - Planetouched Human Rogue LV4.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico is brash, loud, smiles a lot, and gesticulates a lot. His favorite
|
|||
|
|
gesture is finger guns. He uses planescape slang *heavily*, and he also
|
|||
|
|
uses “baby” a lot.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico looks like a completely bald (alopecia) human male, with literal
|
|||
|
|
static electricity sparks jumping from him more or less constantly.
|
|||
|
|
Touching him produces an uncomfortable zap. If asked about where this
|
|||
|
|
comes from, he says, “that information costs more than you can pay,
|
|||
|
|
baby!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico calls himself a "drug dealer," and he says, "Touts provide easy
|
|||
|
|
access to information, and easy access to information is a drug. It
|
|||
|
|
makes you lazy, it makes you stop trying to solve problems for yourself.
|
|||
|
|
Soon you'll find yourself calling me because you need me to tell you how
|
|||
|
|
to tie your shoes. That's my income stream, baby! Addicts who can’t stop
|
|||
|
|
calling me to tell them what to do every minute of the day.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico’s price structure is simple: it costs 5GP to have a conversation
|
|||
|
|
with Rico. First conversation’s free, baby, like any good drug dealer!
|
|||
|
|
During a conversation, he will gladly answer all the questions you have,
|
|||
|
|
as long as he knows the answer off the top of his head. Rico knows a lot
|
|||
|
|
about what’s going on around the city, and he has good general knowledge
|
|||
|
|
about many subjects, but he’s not a database of all information in the
|
|||
|
|
universe. If you ask something that requires research, he’s willing to
|
|||
|
|
do research, but he charges 10GP per hour, sometimes more, depending on
|
|||
|
|
the challenge level. If you ask Rico for information that might put Rico
|
|||
|
|
in danger, then that’s a hard no.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico will usually drop by every couple of days to see if you have any
|
|||
|
|
questions. If Rico isn’t around and you have a question, you can call
|
|||
|
|
for him. Calling for him costs 10GP extra, and it usually takes 2 or so
|
|||
|
|
hours for him to arrive. If you want emergency service, 30GP and he’ll
|
|||
|
|
arrive quickly. To call, just talk to any tout that you see and let them
|
|||
|
|
know you need to talk to Rico Sparks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rico expects loyalty from his customers, meaning you do business with
|
|||
|
|
Rico, not with some other tout. However, he makes allowances if you just
|
|||
|
|
have a 30-second question like “where’s a good cheese shop” and Rico’s
|
|||
|
|
not around - in that case, it’s okay to ask another tout. Of course,
|
|||
|
|
expect the other tout to charge you 1GP or so for the service.
