A mafia boss who talks like Elvis Presley.

A rainbow knight with their armor painted all colors of the rainbow and more, with a white cape that got black embroidery and gilded borders.

Their first encounter shows them cheery, a beacon of hope, glory and honor.

The next shows their armor battered by battle. Paint chipped away by strikes of blades, showing that steel below, cape torn off. They lost everything, yet still hold to their oath, moving on. Just without hope, anymore, without seeing glory in their actions, keeping to the only thing remaining: Honor.

A very crafty scavenger who somehow manages to make any trash into an artistic and useful piece of equipment or clothing.

[random-npc-ideas]

An umbrella merchant who is quite a philosopher, saying things like "Being an umbrella merchant is a job relying on extremes: Either it's raining hard enough for people to need one, or the sun's shining bright enough for people to need one, again."

They are also a prosaic and experimental poet, but don't share their works - only talk about what they are writing without mentioning they are actually writing about it.

An octopus farmer. Always curses and swears on how smart these tentacle bastards are... "You have no idea how hard it is to be an octopus farmer, mite."

[random-npc-ideas]

A shapeshifter who never tells any two people the same story about themselves. To some, they are a simple gardener, to others they are a secret informer and payer for gossip, or a noble knight in disguise...

Truth is? They know some kind of shadow clone jutsu. And there's currently about 50 of them in the whole world, number growing, all being a hivemind, sharing memories, and actually living those lives.

[random-npc-ideas]

A mechanic who masterfully uses various tools around their workshop as improvised weapons and constantly gets into fights with the mafia sent by a spoiled son of the mafia gang's boss. Think John Wick, but not quite.

An old person has been known to be a great adventurer once, but later in life had a severe trauma to the leg, making them unable to travel too far from home. They were known to collect souvenirs from far-off lands, small collector's items: Pebbles.

Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic; Adakite, andesite, pumice, arkose, flintstones, jaspillite, marble, blueschist, quartzite... They can tell everything about any stone on the continent, some people say, and they pay rich if you bring them something they haven't seen before.

Four noble houses ruling over a territory, all united by being connected to four major "states of matter" in alchemy: Nigredo, albedo, rubedo and citrinitas. Chaos, order, wholeness and dawn. In parallel with that, their noble standards feature black, white, red and yellow, respectively.

This person has gone through many injuries in life, an adventurer for sure. But, seeing themselves as an absolute beauty (narcissistic, which ain't a bad thing), the prosthetics they wear are always gilded, highest quality craft.

The worst thing one can say to them is that their golden teeth, their golden leg, golden fingers are all more beautiful than they themselves.

A dragon egg poacher.

[random-npc-ideas]

A robot, either small toy-like or full-size humanoid, nudging a dead body of someone they were emotionally attached to, not understanding the concept of death, murmuring phrases like "It's been 12 days and 13 hours of you trying to pull this prank on me. Wake up. / Wake up. Please. / Are you in any pain or paralyzed? / I can fix this. / Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Classic joke pretending to be asleep, you forgot one thing: You must keep your eyes closed for it to look real. / You look ill. Please tell me you are alright. / I proved I'm a good friend. I swatted flies, moved away grubs and strange bugs - I passed the test. You can move now. / Please."

A hooded figure that teleports 15ft away every time someone comes within 20ft from them, holding out faerie gifts and speaking strange wisdoms in reverse wording (reversed being order word the with, this like but backwards not).
