Not Quite Ludus: Who The Hell Are These People? Not Quite Ludus: Who The Hell Are These People?
Art By Reilly, Bios by RPG-Spot

Spot- The rugged gunslinger of movie fame… Or something like that. Spot was the original innovator of the “Ludus” project back in the heydays of RM2K. Now he’s a empty shell of his former self, downing martinis on the company dollar and hoping to meek an out a living by whoring out the Brotherhood of Britannia story and using NQL as a cheap means of product placement for his homemade brands of tequila and hand grenades.

Reilly- An artist above and beyond his time, Reilly found himself unable to forge his name in the world of art history due to his radical views on art philosophy and his compulsive lying. So instead, he hooked up with Spot to do graphics for "Ludus"- Since then it’s been a rocket sled ride into the dismal abyss of back alley warfare and theological unrest. A dozen bottles of cheap scotch and thousands of cigarettes later and the sleds still half-full of gas. Like it or not, he was in it for the long haul.

Vince- The self-made proprietor of B*B and a successful chain of car dealerships, Vince (AKA “Crazy Sanchez”) was living the good life until he got mixed up with the “Ludus” project. Before he could utter his famous catchphrase “To sell them at these prices, I’d have to be crazy, Crazy Sanchez!”, Vince was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to the Russians. Vince had to sell his franchise to save his fingers and toes. Before long, he had moved into a shifty apartment in a seedy neighborhood, and his vast numbers of desks had been reduced to one, which he rents on weekends to Mad Magazine.

Tycho- Look out ladies! Tycho’s on the town… May God help you if he catches you. For longer than anyone cares to remember, it was thought that Vince and Tycho were the same person, driven by their lust of opium and cheap Persian rug knockoffs. Then it turned out the entire story was a lie perpetrated by Spot. Go figure. The real Tycho is in fact very different from Vince, as you can see by... Erm... Yeah... Tycho’s hair is longer! Yes, yes it is. Okay, so they’re not terribly different looking. But we’d be damned if Tycho’s got jungle fever like Vince. Bless you Vince, you are a saint… Huh? Who the hell is Tycho? Uh yeah, bless him, too.

Mr. Breaker- A former mob enforcer who earned his moniker, as one might expect, from his love of electrical outlets and circuit breakers. Breaker first met Vince while hunting him down for the Russians. By then Breaker wanted out, but had no marketable skills that didn’t involve hurting or killing. Vince, always a good guy and desperate to save his life, offered Breaker a job at B*B… Hurting and killing. Since then, Breaker’s been B*B’s number one man when it comes to dealing with the competition. It’s also been rumored that he sprites, or something queer like that.

Dingo- Once in a great while, when the stars are right and Earth needs a new hero, a child is born unto us who will whisk us from our times of ignorance and darkness. Dingo has made it his mission to stop this child at all costs. Dingo grew up the son of a Roman general and fair Greek peasant girl. He used his father’s status to assume the position as a medieval warlord after the fall of Rome. From there Dingo ruled much of Eastern Europe with an iron fist, until all of that Renaissance crap. So, he spent the next five-hundred years drifting and getting into adventures like the guy from Kung Fu until he wrenched his back kicking ass. To supplement his income until he gets back on his feet he took a part-time job at B*B. Recently everyone’s favorite martial arts hero has disappeared… Maybe he’s back on his mystic journey?
