Trying to make functional satirical monsters


Some critictism I have seen about Troika! is that no one is playing it, or folx are only making backgrounds and not other important content or some bullshit.
So, I was already planning on retooling these to be monsters.

Woke Marketing Broseph
A sadly common being in larger cities and infosphere. Commonly found expanding upon older texts of ancient lore and amusements for added value; leveraging their wealth and position to enrich themselves; praying before their dark corporate lords; or directing attacks upon any whom have wounded their egos. Rarely found alone. They have a crowd of sycophants willing to sing their praises and commit "clandestine" acts of sabotage.

Sharp Lords of the March
These old money artistes dabble in all manners of amusements while slumming so deeply they have disguised their monied origins. Fond of ingratiating themselves deeply with the downtrodden, forming small armies to engage their foes for minor grievances.

Can attempt to engage all foes in a "debate" by testing Skills, during which no other actions can be taken.
