Background/History: Master is the partner of Blaster and runs Underworld. How the two met is unknown. Master also designed and maintains the power systems in Underworld. In the novel, after the escape from Bartertown, Blaster drops his Pidgin English, and speaks normally, giving his real name and age.

Personality/Motivation: As a little man (literally) in a dangerous world, Master depends on Blaster for protection. At the same time, Master has become arrogant and spars with Auntie over who’s in charge of Bartertown (and since Master controls the power, he is.) Once Blaster is gone, all of his arrogance vanishes, and so does most of his “Master” personality.

Quote: “Me order. Me Master. Me run Bartertown!”

Powers/Tactics: As he stands only 2’11” Master doesn’t have much in the way of physical skills, but he does have Blaster. He also controls the power, and that’s a potent weapon as well. Master is also a brilliant engineer.

Appearance: Master stands a mere 2’11”, with sparse gray hair. He wears a helmet and goggles (similar in appearance to a samurai helmet) and a tunic of over-lapping leather scales.

Designer's Notes: Master is pretty much all there is. You can’t make him more powerful without going beyond the bounds of his dwarfism. Although you could really throw people for a loop and combine his and Blaster’s character sheets and make him one character!
