QUICKMIX (Autobot NPC - Essence 20 Transformers RPG)

This NPC build utilizes the Transformers Essence20 system by Renegade Game Studios.

Unlike my previous builds, this is not a full character build, but more of an NPC build, like the "Threats" the core rulebook has listed for the Decepticons. It is a simpler build to be used by the GM for character representation, rather than a fully-formed PC.

Quickmix features as an introductory NPC in the upcoming Transformers adventure: "Beacon of Hope."

QUICKMIX
Autobot Chemist
Quickmix is an absent-minded chemist whose demeanor is nearly as volatile as the chemicals he works with. He is accomplished in his trade, and is readily capable of devising new compounds and ways of combating the Decepticons, but his impatience and absent-mindedness often results in unfinished projects and experiments. He has a short temper and his Autobot allies make sure to give him a wide berth because of it. After all, the dude works with chemicals. This isn't the only reason they might avoid him though, since despite his own absent-minded nature Quickmix often seeks to give his teammates helpful "advice" on how to do their jobs, sometimes even in the middle of a battle.
