Thanks for the replies! Keep `em coming!
I can think of a few NPCs which hung around for 1 reason or another in my games, as well as in games that I played. Here's some of the D&D ones:
* An orc paladin (back in the days of 2nd ed.).
* A group of 5 kids. All of them actually were powerful wizards who were stripped of their power and advanced age by a wicked rival. Our PCs pretty much were the guardians of these kids.
* A lone ranger who punched out one of the PCs for constantly leaving his tack & harness on his horse.
And there were a few NPCs from various superhero games I've ran:
* Caliber--imagine Destro (from G.I. Joe) with the powers to fly at sonic speed & transform intom organic steel. He was tough, ruthless, & the PCs absolutely dreaded fighting him.
* The Amazing Static Man (from Villains Unlimited)--this NPC from the Heroes Unlimited supplement was universally despised by the PCs, not because he was tough, but because he was overconfident and annoying. Many PCs went out of their way to get rid of him.
* Geiger--a radioactive alien with radiation control powers. Liked doing a lot of damage, and players hated the radiation poisoning risk he always presented just by being close to him.
There are more examples that escape me at the moment, but these are a few that have been quite memorable. I'm curious to see what NPCs may become memorable in future games.
