Yeah, pretty much anyone who spends an extended length of time laying in one place hooked up to an IV is going to look like hell afterwards.

I'm going to put in bids on a couple of old Shadowland folks:  Buzz and Dragonslayer.  Even though currently the 'irrational bigot' slot is filled by Clockwork.

There was a reference to Dragonslayer having been done in by gang violence, but it's that (supposedly now defunct) dragon-hunting outfit that intrigues me still - especially with the hints about Sirrurg hunting them down.

And there were times when Buzz approached Plan 9's level of wackiness with his anti-meta stance.

Dragonslayer got killed, but I'm not sure of the who and how. It *might* have been the Knights of Rage. His old Dragonslaying locale got chewed up and spit out as well. Was it Fatima? Or Goat Foot? One of those two were going to pick up the gauntlet after a dragon (Hestaby?) gloated a bit about the Dragonslayers getting crunched.

Now I have to remember where. System Failure? Emergence? Hrm. Hmmm...

Fatima died in Ghost Cartels, I think.

Gee, it's almost like someone was trying to destroy JackPoint from within.

Could happen, the personalities are  very opposing at times.

But, honestly, if there's any inkling that it's being arranged, well, I think Anonymous put it best.  ;D

James, apparently you need to use your sarcasm tags more.

CanRay, Horizon has been trying to push members of JackPoint into taking each other out.  This is the main reason for the sanding mission against them from Conspiracy Theories.

Running Wild and Vice might be the source(s).  I'd still like to know about Dragonslayer and Buzz.

Off the top of my head, Jackpointers who need written up (because they get used a LOT or because they're interesting) still include:

Netcat
Pistons
Kat o' Nine Tales
Plan 9
Snopes
Glitch
Riser
Man of Many Names
Butch
Dr. Spin
2XL

Bull

Riser and Man Of Many Names were in 10 Jackpointers, not that it wouldn't be nice to see some stats on them as well as profiles.

I heard someone mention somewhere (can't recall now) that Netcat has a writeup in Corporate Intrigue. I've yet to get that one so I can't verify it.

Frosty/Jane Foster had a writeup in Artifacts Unbound, along with Jenna Ni'Fairra (AU is an awesome book full of crunchy goodness!) SeaTac Sweetie was in there too, near the beginning, IIRC.

Arete is one I've always been curious about and I don't think he's had writeups in anything as yet.
Others include: Beaker, Clockwork (because everyone wants to Punch the Clock, Danger Sensei, Ethernaut...those are some specific ones I could mention, along with some others.

One thing I'd really like to see is a Street Legends-esque book full of antagonists. The Supplemental looks like its got some good ones in there, but what are the chances of seeing a book dedicated specifically to such folks? I know my preference would be a range of low-mid powered opponents/adversaries all the way to scary ones, like Alachia.

I'll second that Mirikon. It would be very interesting to hear what they've been up to since the canon? demise of Senor Oscuro/Darke. At least I seem to recall hearing that he died. I unfortunately haven't gotten a chance to locate/purchase Beyond the Pale as yet. It's relatively low on my current list of priorities.

A little more info on the Primiera Vaga sp? Cabal that was backing Tempo in Ghost Cartels would be interesting as well. Especially since, ostensibly, these two cabals are on different sides of the Aztlan-Amazonia war. A Side-by-side comparison of the two would make one hell of an article.

Having thought about it while replying to the 'kill a dragon' thread -- Haesslich.  He should be brought back, especially since he had what they call a 'mysterious death' -- no body recovered, dove into the Sound, etc. etc.
