The NPC File: Roughs

This file contains the rough idea that I've had for NPCs over the past year or so. Some are more fleshed out than others, but all are still pretty much, well, rough. Some ideas need more work than others, but if they're here, I haven't used them in my game (didn't get the chance): so my former players haven't seen any of these yet:) Well, happy hunting!

Name(s): The Magus Brothers (first names?)
Race(s): Human
Description: 5 Elementalists - clonal quintuplets - originally engineered as part of a genetics program by Renraku in 2030. The project itself was abandoned in 2035 when all other test subjects failed to be useful. In 2048, the 5 brothers were inducted as part of Renraku's corporate special ops group, specifically for magical situations. In late 2048, the 5 abandoned Renraku after their first assignment. Currently working very hard to avoid being caught by the corp and working in direct opposition to most of the corp's goals. All five are Grade 2 Initiates, they use nearly identical gear and were given identical cyber and bioware implants. Their Skills and base attributes are also nearly identical.
