THE HIT TEAM

There are those who derive a livelihood by building,

creating, and adding to the world. The Hit Squad

makes its money destroying, killing, and removing

people from the world. Pay their price, and they’ll

kill for you. They won’t ask why, they won’t expect

you to shed a tear in mourning for the passing of the

victim. Professor will take the payment—wired to his

Cayman Islands account—and the next day or the

next week you will read about the intended target’s

demise. Depending on the importance of the target,

the newspaper article will go into lavish detail about

the killing or will merely make a passing reference

to it. Whatever the case, the Hit Squad will have your

money and you will have had your killing.

The Hit Squad can be used in various campaigns

and their purpose and patron can vary. They may

appear as opponents for the player characters.

However, the Hit Squad or its various members may

also appear in a way connected to the adventure

but not necessarily in opposition to the PCs. For

example, in an espionage campaign, the Hit Squad

might be Department 7’s cleaner unit, sent to clean

up messy entanglements. The Squad might be the

Agency’s muscle, so that the PCs do the investigation

and then in comes the Hit Squad to make the arrest,

capture, or whatever. In a military campaign, the Hit

Squad could be a Black Operations unit, involved in

deniable missions. Their paths may cross with the

PCs, sometimes working in cooperation, other times

working at cross purposes. The existence and the

patron of the Hit Squad may come to be a focus for

investigation.

While Professor is the “leader” of the Squad, he

is not their patron. If the Squad is a criminal gang,

they will be attached to some powerful crime

family or gang. Professor will, of course, be making

plans to supplant this patron. If the Hit Squad is a

government black op team, Professor may not even

know the identity of their patron. He will still be

making proﬁ table plans for betrayal, however.

won’t be waiting to be rescued, though; she will be

trying anything to extricate herself and the Squad

out of whatever predicament they might be in, or she

will be deeply involved in someone else’s plan. She

doesn’t like to stand around.

Failing: Along with her unbridled optimism, Fat

Lip has a blind spot for danger. Even if she knew there

was a trap, she’d wander into it just for the action.

This places herself and her teammates in danger. She

ignores all warnings and even—it seems—common

sense. She just doesn’t register danger.

Goal: Fat Lip’s only real goal is to live and enjoy life.

She intends to improve her craft, to ﬁ ght better, but

this is almost incidental. She ﬂ oats through life like a

feather, with neither plans nor regrets. In essence, Fat

Lip lives to live, and live well.

Motivation: At a young age, Fat Lip wanted to

learn to be a ﬁ ghter like Jackie Chan. She may not

have the moves, but she does her own stunts. She

ﬁ ghts, she lives, and she eats, drinks, and is merry. The

consequences and context of her actions are lost on

her. Though she has a conscience, she would never

act in such a way as to press upon it, and so she lives

free.

Tactics, standard: Fat Lip gets in and messes it up.

She goes for melee as quickly as possible. She’ll go for

the toughest hand-to-hand combatant

in order to test her mettle. She never

ﬁ ghts defensively and always uses a

full attack when engaged in melee.

Tactics, long-range: Fat Lip

charges into melee. She will run

at top speed to get into ﬁ sticuffs

range. If absolutely necessary, in

order to help a comrade, she

might ﬁ re a gun, but it would

have to be a pretty desperate

situation, and someone would

need to loan her a gun.

Tactics, short-range: Fat Lip

is still running to get into melee.

Ranged combat just isn’t her thing.

She might throw a chair or a beer pitcher.

Tactics, melee: Fat Lip will attack the biggest,

baddest looking bruiser of the lot. She’ll make a full

Possessions: casual clothing, cell phone, ﬂ ashlight,

Personality: Fat Lip is always moving.

She doesn’t like sitting down and she

doesn’t like stillness. Rather than

the stereotypical martial artist

meditating in a tranquil temple

or beside a quiet stream, Fat Lip

loves big cities with lots of hustle.

She rarely visits restaurants

or bars because that’s sitting

around in one place for too long.

She’d rather buy a hot dog from

a street vendor and chomp on

it while walking along, chatting

to whomever she might be

hanging with.

Aptitude: Fat Lip always has a smile

on her face. Nothing seems to disturb her quiet

optimism. No matter how black and dire the situation,

Fat Lip ﬁ gures rescue is right around the corner. She

attack. If she had to run into combat, she’ll charge into

melee and do a Flying Kick (as per the Martial Artist

class feature). After that, it’s kicking and punching the

enemy into submission. Once an enemy goes down,

she’ll move on to the next. She’ll be looking out

for her comrades, like Smoke or Tiny, who aren’t so

melee oriented. She’ll put herself at risk to give them

an avenue of escape.

Hook: If one of the player characters is a martial

artist, there’s a chance the character will know Fat

Lip. She isn’t famous, but she gets around. She used

to tour the underground ﬁ ghting circuit around

the world. She’s been beaten up and laid down the

hammer in some of the seediest establishments in

the world. A martial artist PC may also run into Fat

Lip at the school of a famous or infamous teacher.

With no single, formal teacher, Fat Lip likes to ﬁ nd out

who’s around and what they know.

Outside of underground ﬁ ghts and mysterious

martial arts senseis, Fat Lip is also likely to be found

anywhere that’s crowded and rocking. She’d certainly

go to a dance club or an outdoor party, or anyplace

with lots of action. And if something hit the fan at

such a place, Fat Lip would jump right in and lend a

hand, especially if it meant kicking some butt.

Quotes: “Everybody was kung-fu ﬁ ghting. This

chick is fast as lightning.”

“This is boring. Let’s do something.”

“I am going to seriously mess you up. Seriously. But

in a fun, light-hearted way.”

Personality: Professor is all about himself. He cares

only for his own proﬁ t, his own advancement, and

his own comfort. The Squad has proved an excellent

avenue to his desires, so he uses them. Fools that

they are, they trust him. He will continue to act as the

leader of the squad, and act as a loyal employee of

his patron until the time comes that one or the other

is inconvenient. At that point, depending on whether

they present a threat to Professor or not, he’ll either

leave them high and dry or he’ll leave them dead.

Aptitude: A master of chemistry, Professor’s hobby

is electronics of all sorts. He collects electronics

hobby periodicals and attends trade shows and

hobby gatherings. In this arena, Professor is his most

vulnerable emotionally, feeling open and almost

joyous. He always travels to these events alone and is
