In our group's games, we tend to not do that sort of thing (although if the player leaves his background too vague "Uh, I think his family's all dead; there was a red-haired girl he liked once. I'm hungry." he could be in for a narsty li'l surprise or 5 later on). It could be that the player didn't feel that the NPC was credibly brought into the game and felt no connection with him, at least not enough of one for him to not kill the dude. Maybe he was actually RPing a hard-bitten merc's attitude towards someone that he "used to know" before he came to the Age of Reason.Or just maybe he was thinking of all those sweetsweet xp he'd get for kacking a cop. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
