Glory Hound Press Hound

Publicity Hero archetype NPC who arrives for cameras and departs before cleanup, willing to claim credit for the team's saves while framing them as sidekicks in soundbites. Perform...

Shows up wherever the cameras are and clears out before anyone has to mop up. Good at the job. Photogenic. Perfectly willing to take the credit for a save the team pulled off while he was still lacing his boots. He'll hand the team a soundbite, gladly — and it'll make them sound like the sidekicks.

Appearance: A sleek, camera-ready costume in high-contrast colors with a chest emblem clearly designed for photographs. Perfect hair, a practiced smile, boots polished mirror-bright even mid-fight.
