Commoners of the world UNITE!!!!

[DrZombie]

Allright, I'm at work and I'm bored, so I thought about starting a new thread. At home I have a small box filled with little cards with various NPC's of all ways in life : bartenders, tavernbards, merchants, pickpockets, blacksmiths, farmers, you know, the little people. The background persons. The thing is, I use'em to fill in the blanks.
The problem is, I can't really take the box with me at work, and I don't feel like copying 'em all to the boards, so I thought, hey, all those lovely smart intelligent handsome people at ENWorld would love to create a commoner and post'em here. Don't waste your time with CR25 people, no, just ordinary persons with a small background and a little adventure hook, quirck, something to make'em stand out and be remembered. I'll do the first one:

1:fendor, Turnip Farmer

AC 10 HP 4 Human Commoner 1. BAB+0 Fort +0 Refl +0 Will +1

Fendor is a small man, suntanned by working outdoors. He's dressed in drab brown clothing. A lumpy brown hat tries to cover his unkempt black hair. He's in his fourties, with the mindset of a seventy year old. Characters who make the mistake of sitting next to him in a pub or meeting him on the road soon discover that he loves to talk. About turnips. Evrything about turnips. The hard life of a turnip farmer, the hard work, the different types of turnips, turnip harvesting, turnip planting, the difference between turnips and beets, the turnip pricing at the markets, cheap turnip imports from abroad making life hard for the turnip farmer.... All in that same monotone of a voice.

Five minutes of dedicated roleplaying should make even the most good-natured pacifist wanna throttle him..

Marieh Barmaid
AC 10 HP 4 Commoner 1 BAB +0 Fort +0 Ref +1 Will +0

Marieh is a barmaid at the local inn. She has a light temper, and generally manifests a good sense of humor. She appreciates some complements on her appearence (while not incredibly beautiful, she still is pretty), but is quick to let the customer know when his comments become too lewd, or if they get too close. A well placed crack with a mug or tray usually sets them right quick. She is a decent listener, and may have a nice piece of information for a PC that drops her a small gift, or, if they're really lucky, a nice compliment.

Torin: Disgruntled Turnip Farmer

Fendor's younger brother and his opposite in nearly every way. Torin is attractive, has a sparkling personality and is a joy to converse with. So much so that you hardly notice he's a lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing moocher. He spends the majority of his time at the local pub cadging drinks from travellers and generally making a spectacle of himself.

And for that moment when your 3rd or 4th-level PCs are feeling superior:

Gisko is a pig farmer who simply LIKES being a mean SOB. Everybody needs a hobby. His favorite thing to do is smack around uppity book-learnin' types.
