Band of Rejects - New Recruits

Description
Unwanted and unloved, these people (and creatures) are exiled, lost, or taken away from their home. Whether they'll rot away in solitary or find companionship, fight in glorious battles or eaten alive by fogmen, build an industrial town or enslaved in rebirth, it's all up to you to decide their fate in this ransacked world...

My first ever mod that plans to add several new recruits and companions to the game. They have unique dialogues when recruited, healing, winning a fight, entering biome etc.
The dialogues are mostly grounded to the game's lore, though expect some inaccuracies. (And some comedies of course.). Also, English is not my first language, so there might be some typos and/or weird phrasings. Everything in this mod is subject to change, and hopefully I could continue to update it in the future.

Introducing:
1. Zhang, an old "retired" Shek Warrior. Oddly cheerful and quite eccentric. Currently hiding away inMud Townto escape from his responsibilities.
2. Cliff, a defective Southern Hive Soldier. Cowardly and pessimistic. He got lost in Admag where he's constantly harassed by the Shek.
3. Izma, a Beak Thing with a birth defect. Small but still quite deadly. Her owner can be seen in Squin trying to get rid of her at a reasonable price.
4. Kani, a lost Gurgler who strayed too far from home. Captured and brought to World's End for research and study.
5. Bread, an amnesiac Cannibal Skav who got separated from her tribe. Not quite bright but very loyal. She found afarm ruins in Okran's Valleyand has since made it her new home.
6. Hikari, a Scorchlander noble's child who was ostracized due to her "radical" vision. Courageous yet somewhat insecure. She's making a living by selling fish in the Northern Fishing Village.
7. Aida, a Dust Boss who got betrayed by her own men. Despite of this, she's very forgiving and quite honorable. Being paraded around for her 'crime' in Stack.
8. Bishop, a Strayed Paladin with an anger issue, but tends to calm down every once in a while. Last seen drinking away in Mongrel.
9. Paleface, a Fog Prince who has become sentient, though still not quite intelligent. He's currently in some Waystation, trying to get hired somehow.
10. Jiro, a Scorchlander Flotsam Ninja Ronin with cold attitude and dubious loyalty, hiding away in Clownsteady to evade the wrath of his former colleagues.
11. Archer, a Southern Hive prince who was a veteran Tech Hunter with valuable knowledge and experience, though other Tech Hunters think he's crazy. Currently retiring in Flats Lagoon.
12. Estelle, a rogue Anti-Slaver who wants to take matters into her own hands, literally. A bit unstable mentally. Last seen prowling around Trader's Edge, probably looking for trouble.
13. Sarujan, an unusually superstitious Skeleton, caged for hundreds of years in some Suspicious Lab on Cannibal Plains.
14. Hermes, a battle-hardened Swamp Turtle. Strong, cute, and deadly. You could persuade his owner in Shark to sell him to you.
15. Kiera, a brilliant yet forgetful Shek who seems fascinated by the ancients, she spends her time reading books in The Great Library at Black Scratch.
16. Tetsuya, a Southern Hive worker who worked as Empire Police Chief in the past. He was sent on a permanent "vacation" at Drin due to his past action.
17. Valda, a mad Scorchlander priest who saw the error of his way, isolating himself in a Tiny Settlement somewhere in the Border Zone to repent for his sins.
18. Rust and Mould (a P4 unit and a Fogman respectively), two inseparable weirdos whose down on their luck, selling "supplies" around Heng trying to make a fortune no matter how small.

Coming soon:
19. Minie, an exiled Scorchlander Gorilo Bandit who was forced to leave after losing a duel.
20. Wrench, a mute Screamer who communicates with a notepad.
21. Grain and Salt, a Cannibal and a Land Bat who took refuge from the outside world.
22. Nera, a troubled Shek child with a dark past.
23. Flats, a Fog Heavy who was abused by the slavers for years, causing him to became docile.

Notes:
- If the characters don't spawn, import.
- Everything in this mod should be vanilla compatible.
- Overall let me know down in the comments if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions.

Cheers!

Can Izma get bigger?

@Nactarune - Those issues are unfortunately vanilla bugs, there's not much I could do about it other than a workaround. I'll try it in the next update.

@crazyoriam - Look for a small HN squad patrolling the city, Aida should be a prisoner walking among them. If she's not there, try importing.

Note: If Stack is destroyed/weakened/taken over, she will not spawn.

Hi. Where can I find Aida in Stack exactly? I've looking for her for an hour...
Nactarune 3 Sep @ 10:48am 
Yeah the thing for the food was they were in different squads that's why thank you tho and I found a bug, when importing there's another tired man with another izma so you can keep importing and recruiting making an izma army quite easily lol, if possible can you fix this bug since if importing it kinda ruins the immersion a little also with hermes the pathing makes me wanna pull my hair out I guess since it's large tho it keeps going off alone and dying because of it's weird pathing xD, great work btw loving all the new additions so far !

@[TLP] lucazz'tuoi - I don't use UWE so I wasn't aware of this. I'll fix it in the next patch.

@Nactarune - Try dropping food into the ground or install a mod. Hope this helps!

Anyway, here's what changed:

- Fixed Kani's weird proportion if UWE is installed. (No effect if already recruited)
- Fixed Rust's dialogue ending early when selecting certain option.
- Aida is now being paraded around instead of locked in the prison to prevent despawning bug. (Requires import if not already recruited)
- Aida and Rust have proper NPC dialogue now. (Does not affect gameplay)
- Added the race of each characters to steam description.
- Added more lines to Kiera.
- Adjusted Kiera's and Aida's proportion slightly. (No effect if already recruited)
- Renamed Kiera to Doctor Kiera. (No effect if already recruited)
- Bread's house is now buyable. (Requires import)
- Nerfed Paleface's starting stats. (No effect if already recruited)
- Zhang starts with better quality leg. (No effect if already recruited)
- Moved Izma and her owner to Squin , Cliff is now in Admag instead. (Might require import)
