Below is a list of potential atmosphere agents. They are all intended to be itinerant travellers who have a curcuit they follow, from town to town, or who have a "job" in the wilderness and visit town periodically to get supplies or whatever

Choose an atmosphere agent from the list, then email me and the rest of the class (addresses above AND below). First come, first serve.
Write a 1-2 page description of what your agent does, what it looks like, how it operates, and how you think it will interact with the players (and other agents, if indeed it does).
You may need to do a little research to learn what plausible behaviors your agent might have.
Frame your description in terms of the PAGE model described in the textbook.
You may assume your agent will get "scehduled" periodically during the course of the virtual week (as per the virtual shopping equates to virtual time model described in class).
