NPC Definition

Postby Lucy Took » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:23 pm

There are four types of NPCs.

Cannon NPCs

~These are characters that appear in the show.
~They can only be played by a mod
~ They can affect plot lines and make plot lines.

Major NPCs


~Relevant to the plot
~ Either played by a mod or approved by a mod
~Can have some development, but only if it relates to that of a PC
~Often starts off as a minor NPC, but if after discussion they're needed to have a bigger role, they must have involvement approved and a bio must be posted.
~Only two major NPCs allowed onscreen per person per chapter.
~Required to have a bio
~They otherwise follow the rules of minor NPCs.
~ At this time characters will only be "promoted" to major NPC as needed. Unless a character is currently involved with a major plot they will be considered minor until further notice.


Minor NPCs


~Incidental characters played by anyone to give PCs something to interact with, play mooks, family members, ect.
~Family members of PCs are automatically considered minor NPCs and as such are allowed to have some character development as relates to the PC.
~They need no explanation for why they're in an area unless it would be awkward not to have an explanation.
~ They can only be posted if needed for the plot or for a PC to interact with.
~ It's preferred that they have a short bio, but it's not required.

Crew NPCs

~Characters that make up a PC's ship crew, army, non-PC freelance team, ect.
~ Same rules as minor NPCs.
~ Can not act contrary to the desires of the PC leader's player.
~ If named the group must have a thread in the Bios and NPCs listing what the members are and what role they are. Unless the PC leader has other need of them they are not to leave the roles given.
~If this should end in fire, then we should all burn together~

I suppose this is the place to put it.

Onyx is now a minor NPC. May he be adorable in ways that don't make plot from henceforth :P

It might be better in the character section, just for records sake.
