Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire/Characters

Buck Godot

 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Combat Pragmatist
 * Heavyworlder
 * Manipulative Bastard - His plan in Psmith relies on telling mutually exclusive stories to Der Rock and Psmith, in front of each other. Der Rock hired to take care of a MacGuffin which Psmith was hired to return to its owner. As part of this service, he had a non-functional but otherwise exact duplicate made. His mutually exclusive stories: he tells Psmith he returned the real one to its owner, and Der Rock that he slipped the owner the fake. As the real device has only two purposes; summoning Sufficiently Advanced Aliens and creating black holes, there's no(safe) way to confirm or deny that the MacGuffin is real. End result:

Al

 * Bad Guy Bar / Good Guy Bar - Whatever. He runs it.

Louisa Dem Five

 * Anything That Moves
 * Band of Brothels
 * Bald Women
 * Ethical Slut
 * Hooker with a Heart of Gold
 * Love Is in the Air
 * Weird Trade Union

The Pistol-Packin' Polaris Packrat

 * Alliteration
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick - Smith and Wesson are obviously the brains of the operation. Noteworthy in that they're a pair of artificially intelligent laser pistols with no manipulative digits whatsoever -- they can't even aim or fire themselves, they can only talk.

X-Tel

 * Corrupt Corporate Executive

The Teleporter

 * Adventurer Archaeologist - Oddly enough.
 * Blue and Orange Morality - Does not consider species to be intelligent until they have invented teleportation.
 * Eldritch Abomination / Starfish Alien
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin
 * Mass Teleportation

Lord Thezmothete

 * Eldritch Abomination - The most powerful being in known space. The little we see of ...him... isn't pretty.

He-Who-Must-Be-Watered

 * The Dragon - to Lord Thezmothete.
 * Plant Aliens
 * The Runt At the End

Psmith

 * Hive Mind
 * Human Subspecies
 * Me's a Crowd

Der Rock the Destroyer

 * Phantom Thief - from Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, no less.

The Winslow! ()

 * Dissonant Serenity - "Hi!"
 * MacGuffin - Lampshaded and deconstructed. Three-fourths of known religions revolve around Its importance; nobody can agree on why. Wars break out as various races/beliefs fight over It, and there are disastrous repercussions.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity - Maybe...

Frakkis Godot

 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Heavyworlder

Ambassador Ettarre

 * Breaking Out the Boss
 * Damsel in Distress
 * Iron Lady
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Token Wholesome - with Thad.
 * Not entirely-- they're pledged to each other, and Ettarre has the libido-inhibiting virus.

Thad Gizmot

 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * A Date with Rosie Palms - Apparently out-of-control hormones pose a health hazard. Ettarre has the libido-inhibiting virus, but Thad doesn't want to break his pledge to her by sleeping with someone else. Eventually he solves the problem by raiding a medical officer's Porn Stash.
 * Dissonant Serenity - Most people don't calmly walk through a raging Melee A 30. Most people didn't grow up in New Hong Kong.
 * Tiny Guy, Huge Girl
 * Token Wholesome - with Ettarre.
 * Not entirely-- they're pledged to each other, and Ettarre has the libido-inhibiting virus. Thad doesn't want to break his pledge, which still earns him Token Wholesome status.

Rowan and Martin

 * Intellectual Animals
 * McNinja - Martin the cat.
 * Smart Dogs Wear Glasses
 * The Nose Knows - Rowan the terrier.
 * Uplifted Animal

Security Chief Parahexavoctal

 * Da Chief
 * Foreign Queasine - A big fan of poiled slurgs in wixel grease-- which humans use as oven cleaner.
 * Friend on the Force
 * I Did What I Had to Do
 * Knight Templar
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist
 * Yank the Dog's Chain -

Hyraxx D'Mofiti

 * Cute Monster Girl
 * It's for a Book - And one that her editor rejected, no less.
 * Paparazzi
 * Super Strength - Her intro includes casually tossing Buck around with one hand.
 * Weaksauce Weakness - If Buck had paid more attention during their first meeting, he may have learned that she's terrified of potato mashers.

Prime Mover

 * Big Good
 * Sufficiently Advanced Alien
 * Sufficiently Advanced Alien

Pogs

 * Funny Animal
 * Funny Animal

Beemah

 * Attack Animal
 * Air Vent Passageway - Their main mode of transportation, since they're small enough to manage it and can't be seen in public.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me - Since there is a "shoot on sight" order for all Beemahs, Buck treating them with basic courtesy, respect, and honesty earns him this.
 * Living Weapon
 * Morality Pet -
 * Punny Name - They shoot energy beams from lenses in their foreheads. They're beamers.
 * Waddling Head - They have fully-formed digitigrade legs, but otherwise qualify.
 * Deconstructed somewhat-- they require assistance for basic life functions, such as eating, which forces them to serve others in exchange for survival.
 * Yank the Dog's Chain -
 * You No Take Candle - Seem to ping-pong between this and more normal speech patterns.

Klegdixal

 * The Atoner -
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Possibly even a Jerkass Facade.
 * Planet of Hats - Relative to humans, at least, the Kleg are all irritable stingy jerks.

Uligb

 * Eldritch Abomination / Starfish Aliens - a good example of how hard it is to distinguish between the two. The Uligb exist in and perceive 17-and-a-half dimensions at once, including time; their physical forms resemble nothing so much as a cluster of eyes suspended in a hovering amorphous bedsheet. They are friends of humanity because they like popsicles - they stuff and mount them. They are respected as the most dangerous opponents in the known universe: they can destroy ANYTHING in a manner resembling a three-dimensional computer programmer "destroying" a typed character by hitting the "delete" key.
