Need some followers for your next settlement? While look no further, here's 20 of them. You can even roll for them randomly that way, if you want.
Each of these is meant to be added on top of their existing companion type, essentially replacing the starting process where you select their trait and species and what not. I know this isn't quite as helpful as just writing out their whole entry, but it's a heck of a lot easier to format for a blog entry.
- Custrel - Gilia Mossbraid, Dwarf
- Traits: You can count on her (+1 Grit)
- Proficiencies: Mighty Weapons, Medium Armor
- Additional Combat Gear: Barricade Smasher (Mighty Weapon), Cobble Mail (Medium Armor)

- Custrel - Acorn Aggro, Chib,
- Traits: Light on his feet (+1 Deftness)
- Proficiencies: Drawn Missile Weapons, Concealed Weapons
- Additional Combat Gear: Cupid Bow (Drawn Missile Weapon), 10 Heart Arrows (Ammo)
- With his hooded cloak and repeated attempts at a gravely voice, Acorn is doing his best to come off as a real tough cookie - but keeps finding himself "mistaken" for cute instead. He's been trying to teach himself to swear recently with mixed results.

- Traits: Very cool (+1 Aura)
- Proficiencies: Arc Weapons, Standard Shields
- Additional Combat Gear: Legion Spear (Arc Weapon), Burnished Aspis (Standard Shield)

- Custrel - Sashi Sharpsaber, Native Human
- Traits: Great Condition (+1 Might)
- Proficiencies: Master Weapons, Thrown Missile Weapons
- Additional Combat Gear: Tempered Tachi (Master Weapon), Star Shuriken (Thrown Weapon)
- Bonus Ability: Vagrant Blade (Champion)
- A woman of mysterious origin, not because she's quiet about her history but because she tells a different story every time. Depending on when you ask, she's a disgraced ronin, an honorable shinobi, or even a pirate on the run. At least she's honest in most other regards.
- Custrel - Karey Gemgrace, Tenebrate
- Traits: All too aware (+1 Insight)
- Proficiencies: Standard Shields, Medium Armor
- Additional Combat Gear: Heater (Standard Shield), Medium Armor (Errant Plate)

- Scholar - Promising Enterprise, Rai-Neko
- Traits: Thankfully quick (+1 Deftness)
- Specialist Subject: Monsters and other strange creatures
- Promising Enterprise is a member of a scholar collective attempting to write something they're calling the "Monstery Manual". While open-minded and curious normally, they are just not budging on that name.

- Traits: Used to roughing it (+1 Grit)
- Specialist Subject: Subterranean structures and locales
- Clever and resilient, Penclick's claim to fame is that through sheer luck and gumption he's managed to survive six different cave-in and cave-in adjacent incidents! He's hoping for a seventh one, as it's a lucky number.
- Scholar - Greg Hollands, Dimensional Stray
- Traits: Unnervingly Astute (+1 Insight), Had a Gym Membership (+1 Grit)
- Specialist Subject: Dramatis Personae of Outer World
- All Other Worlders are a little strange, but Greg seems especially mystifying. Rather than a tome, he's tapping through a portable Other World device, and even though he sometimes refers to them in odd ways like "three stars" or "super super rares" he knows quite a bit about the important individuals and their goings-on.

- Traits: Aggressively Charming (+1 Aura)
- Specialist Subject: All things magic

- Guide - Poppy Lightfoot, Chib
- Traits: Light-footed, naturally (+1 Deftness)

- Guide - Neon, Bio-Mechanoid
- Traits: Meticulous (+1 Insight)
- Stoic and studious, Neon doesn't say much - even though they are clearly very often in thought. Their experience with the area around them is the result of their hobby of wandering about whenever they are pondering something.
- Guide - Zol'sa Vilgrand, Elf
- Traits: Enchanting (+1 Aura)
- With his airy voice and wistful expression, Zol'sa can sometimes come off as more of a phantom than a living being. When pressed, he'll explain he's lived many lifetimes and forgotten everything he's learned, but he at least remembers where things are.
- Scamp - Prissi Fullvault, Native Human
- Traits: Imperious (+1 Aura)
- Bonus Ability: Trusted Comrade (Raider)
- Note: Prissi has two animal friends connected to her Trusted Comrade Ability, a Skree named Flappy and a Growl named Charles.

- Scamp - Scrimp, Goblin
- Traits: Tricky (+1 Deftness)
- Scrimp's arms and legs are pretty new to him, having only recently spored and all, so he's having a great time running and jumping about in an effort to test them out. It does get him in a bit of trouble now and again, though.
- Scamp - Milquetoast Essay, Rai-Neko
- Traits: Nine(?) lives (+1 Grit)
- Every coin Milquetoast Essay earns is another step towards his goal of owning a proper skyship and seeing all of Outer World. At least that's how he see's it. It's a great plan as far as he's concerned, and one he'll share with anyone who will listen.
