This is a post that continues on my "profile database: famous people" post, except focusing on those who are a lot like player characters. You simply copy down a profile you made, to make things easier for all GMs. It could save a lot of time in profile making. These can be used as a rival, competitor, or ally to the players. The point is, they could very well be a PC. Here is my example:
Mercanary Soldier: (Named Odonat Rasar in my game)
Brawn 3
Agility 3
Intellect 1
Cunning 2
Willpower 2
Presence 3
Skills:
Disipline 1
Gunnery 1
Leadership 2
Ranged-H 3
Resilience 1
Perception 1
Brawl 1
Talents:
Point blank 2
Strong Arm
Toughened
Grit
Side Step
Equipment:
OK-98 Carbine
Beast Hide armor
Combat knife
Comlink
2 Frag Grenades
2 Imperial Army feild rations
Belt
He played the role of an experienced mercanary who is a little crazy, and I used him as an ally for my rookie PCs.
