NPCs & Enemies [Town NPC] Martian Trader

[RunicPixels🧚🌳]

So the Goblin invasion and the Pirate Invasion as events all have a reward that makes them, getting loot or not, worth doing once.
For the Goblin Invasion that is getting the Goblin Tinkerer NPC (or at the very least the possibility to find him) and for the pirate invasion it's the Pirate NPC.
For the Martian Invasion I thought of another NPC. Of course there's already the Cyborg for some specific SCI-FI stuff.
But perhaps there could be the Martian Trader which could sell alien themed items, materials and/or blocks. You know, the weird otherworldly looking stuff. As well as some alien themed SCI-FI stuff. (also Martian Conduit and other alien building materials.)

The biggest point of the Martian Trader would by to be a salesman between worlds.
Perhaps another option would be a quest to gather something from the Terrarian world and in exchange he gives a reward in the form of an alien item.
There is much potential for this NPC and a variety of ways to include this NPC and make it useful, there is variety of alien stuff that can vary from plasma guns to alien ooze.

tl;dr I'd love to get an alien themed NPC after defeating the Martian Invasion.

@Legoblockhead had this interesting suggestion that's also about a Martian NPC.

I WISH I COULD ADD SOMETHING BUT IM TOO STUPID SO I JUST SYA I SAPPORT UR IDEEA

Seems an interesting concept, and it has potential. Just develop it a bit more! What specific stuff should he sell? Just giving small ideas like that makes the thread a whole world better

 

[Grand Paladin Tyrux]

This seems really cool! I think his appearance should be a bit more futuristic though, and maybe he could be called the Martian Smuggler? Trading goods with you by smuggling alien items from other planets. And one of his possible names should be Hoon Sahlo

 

[ClaireValle]

The quest part is the best. We need more quests in terraria, fishing isn't enough for us!

 

[Nobody Important]

One of the names better be Marvin.

You could add a reference item from fallout 3, the alien blaster that always gets critical hits. Though Firelance would probably be better.

Haha, that's funny, I just made a post on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/3e0gpx/martian_items_postmartian_madness_npc/

That looks like an interesting suggestion, I'll put a link to it in the description.

All i can say is yes. I just want more NPCs to be added to the game

 

[RunicPixels🧚🌳]

I have added this NPC in my mod "Cheeze's Content Pack" ;-)

 

[The original clothier]

Hooray Cheezegami, you're the best!

You got my vote. I literally just posted about this. I would LOVE more town NPCs, especially a Martian Trader. I also posted about a bunch of other stuff regarding npcs, like giving the porr Skeleton Merchant a home.

dose that include Martian saucer drops (eg. influx waver, lazier machinegun)?

Could sell blocks, furniture, could sell the alternative dungeon/temple bricks/walls/stuff because they're an outworlder. Favorite npc could be cyborg and truffle, and like shroom biome.
