Welcome to Day 1 of #RPGaDay2026. As I explained in my Day 0 post, I’ll be creating NPCs based on the day’s prompts and the week and day modifiers presented in the infographic below. Check out that post for further details.
Today’s combination: Discipline (Prompt) + Drive (Weekly Modifier) + Works Hard (Weekly Modifier) + Fantasy (Genre)
Here is today’s NPC.
Antonia One Eye (Fantasy Name Generator used for the name: Bandits)
Antonia was born into poverty in Karral, a major metropolis in the southern trade routes, where the imperial ways meet the Thunsen River. Living as an urchin and pickpocket in the bustling streets, she lost her left eye, leaving a terrible scar, after stealing from a powerful crime lord, the heir of the elder Thief Lord.
Banished from the city by the Beggar Master, Antonia was forced to survive among the outlaw bands in the hills outside the city. Despite the hardships and cruelties she faced, Antonia was driven by a thirst for vindication and revenge, quickly rising to leadership among the brigands.
Other bands would raid caravans, spend their coin wantonly, and engage in internecine infighting. Antonia’s crew was disciplined, recruiting the most skillful warriors and cunning spotters. They carried out the most daring heist with the greatest rewards.
Antonia One Eye became known as Queen of the Bandit Hills.
The One Eye’s crew carried out the daring attack that captured the new Thief Prince, ransomed him to The Brotherhood of Shadows for a fortune, and the head of the old Beggar Master.
Known for her tenacity and diligence, none of her crew were ever found despite the Thief Prince hunt and bounties. Rumors insist Antonia sails a pleasure barge down the canals of the delta of exotic and ancient Nefatara.
