How does everyone create their NPC grunts, the nonimportant ones, the cannon fodder? Ive just started running a game and it would be nice if there was some listing in the Core book of some various grunt types. If anyone has some example to share that would be great.
I have also started creating a Grunt NPC generator in excel not worth sharing just yet but I was hoping to bounce some ideas off others. Im thinking this generator would start off with Attributes, selectable with 6 different levels of Pysical Attribues and Mental. Then you add in a morph. Followed possiblely some experience level modifer (like Battltech [green, regular, veteran, elite] or Shadowrun [Professional ratings]).
Lastly I would like to create several 'Quickplates' (idea came from Iron Kingdoms setting) that would identify key items and skills.
Any thoughts?

Re: NPC's
base them on sample PCs or the NPCs in Glory. I generally dont stat them out all the way, but decide which skills should be high, medium, or low and then just wing it.

Re: NPC's
Well I didnt quite make a generator but I did take someone elses NPC Sheet and enhanced it in my own way. Added some quick refererence guide for my self and made the sheet have 4 Grunts/NPC per page.

Re: NPC's
I like in Shadowrun they list certain level of points to spend on NPC's based on their role (i.e. grunt, lieutenant, boss, etc.). For those that have made NPC's, have you done the same? For example, a grunt would be 500 pts, boss be 800, and super boss be 1200? I haven't looked at the NPC's in Glory and reversed-engineered them yet, but before I do, I figured I'd see what other people have done or found out.

Does anyone have a list or
Does anyone have a list or link to a generic npc character list. Id like to populate a city/place with generoc npcs (not for fighting but for roleplaying) and havent found anythinf.
Like:
Mr and mrs wong
Ex chinese citizens
Splicer morphs (elderly chinese racial variant)
Run an apothecary shop on mars with factory (pod) filled with animal prts growing in vat for harvesting parts (ie bear bile, tiger yang, etc)
Likes to"go on holidays" and resleeves into a younger variant chinese morph, masquerading as her own granddaughter (she doesnt have any) to see what people do and say about her when she isnt there. Husband likes vr x sims during this "holiday" period.
He also likes sleeving into olympian morph and she into pleasure pod, for "fun times".
Anyone know where more non combative npcs can be found?
