Spare Agents/Keepers Thread

I've finished my agents listing for my game (I hope! Took a lot of work if not) and I had some leftover agents I'm not using. I was thinking we could collect any unused agents in one thread for others to grab and use, sort of an Island of Misfit Toys situation. I'll begin:

My spares include:

Station Attendant (could be for train station, ferries, space)

Dairy Bar Owner (inspired by this and Clockwork Orange)

Underdog Politican (could control more power than expected later on)

Fishoak, these are a bit more specific than I'm looking for, but I might turn "dairy bar owner" into "someone who works in food service or owns a food service establishment". The only one on my own list that I haven't used is "villain". 

If you're interested, my (incomplete) list of keepers is at https://astamm.gitbook.io/shepherd-s-crook/future-keepers

I am aiming for vague archetypes that leave a lot of flexibility for the player. I think "underdog politician" could fit in a couple of my archetypes.

This is a great list of archetypes! I like the sycophant and the hermit especially. Enjoy your staff build, excited to see how it turns out and that I could help you in some form.
