There are tons of sources online for various NPC personalities, but I still can't find anything that seems a good fit.
My players are just getting ready to refurbish Trollskull Manor and they want to hire a night guard. I'd like to have a couple of personalities ready for them to interview and chose from, BUT, I can't find anyone from the above sources...
So, anyone have any sources that would work well? Anyone want to contribute one or two?
Below is the first one I fleshed out for an idea of what I'm looking for (kind of like a job application/interview info and then some info on what happens if you hire them. They should probably mostly be in the guard / thug / bandit/ soldier / veteran stat blocks, but not too worried about that since it will be unlikely to get them in actual combat.
Name: Nimlalwe Mithmirelen
Race: Elf
Sex: Female
Appearance: Middle-aged female that is lithe and shows wear and tear. Clothes are serviceable but the colors are worn and several tears have been repaired
Experience: Nim is new to Waterdeep, having recently arrived by ship. She has worked for several decades as a guard for various merchants. She has seen a fair share of scrapes with bandits, goblins, and orcs as well as a few nasty beasts prevalent in various deserts (giant scorpions, snakes, etc).
Personality: Nim is quiet and observant, not speaking unless she has too. She is slow to anger or react, but when she does she acts decisively and usually with more force than is necessary.
History: She spent the last several years as a caravan guard in the deserts of Anauroch and time before that in Calimshan. Now she wants to live in one place and someplace that is not hot, hence her recent travel to Waterdeep. She once was married and had a child, but does not speak of her husband or child.
Future: Nim is resolved to never become romantically attached again, and is very resistant to emotional attachments. But, she has a strong sense of right and will serve loyally anyone who treats her well and does the right thing.
