I don't know if the idea's already been thrown in, I'm too lazy to read the entire thread, but if you're still looking for characters, I was to be an excentric old granny that lives in some recluse town in a small house with numerous cats. I'll be sitting on the porch and yell for you kids to get off my lawn when you first meet me. And if you actually talk to me a second time, I will ask you a yes or no question. Depending on your answer, I will either fight you using a frying pan of love, (really easy fight. Give me like 10 HP and you earn like 2 GP and 5 XP) or give you a clue to a side quest (of your choice). After you complete the side quest though, you'll only hear me rambling about the good old days.

Also, make some of the other townspeople claim I totally lost it, that I bring a great disturbance to the force, etc.
