Ideas: NPCs

---

The Idea

    NPCs will be non-player specific characters. This means that any player can utilize the character, as long as it is used by a single person per roleplay board. The user of the NPC must also provide updates on what that NPC has done, where it has been, etcetera. When suggesting the existence of a NPC, make sure you're aware that it will be used over and over until a group decision is made to remove it.

NOTE: A NPC is not necessary in all aspects of roleplay. In the instance the roleplayer's character has family they would rather roleplay, but not write up, then the character would not be considered a NPC nor a full-fledged character, thus making it unavailable for being rped by another player.

What to Consider

    NPC suggestions will be much like character creation. The considerations are rather straightforward. 

• Who are they? 
  
• What is there role?
• Where do they come in / are they located?
• How important are they where they live?
• What personality do they have?
• What do they look like?
• Do they have a history with any of the other NPCs, characters, etcetera? A reputation?

Directions

    Here are some directions for posting your lore suggestion:

• Copy and fill out the form – Beneath this set of rules, a form will be provided for you to copy and modify accordingly. Any information about your lore should be addressed in this form. When it's all filled out, go to the reply button beneath this post and submit the filled out form. Everyone will be able to view it.
  
• Alert a moderator or administrator – Once the filled form is submitted, go to the site discord and let a moderator or administrator know that there is an idea here to look at. If you wish to add a preview of the idea, there are discord channels for that. You can also get opinions from other members of the site, if you'd like.
  
• After some reviewing, apply any changes – The administrator or moderator(s) who review the idea might suggest some changes or ask for additional information to be added. The idea is to make sure the idea will fit with the roleplay. If changes are necessary, simply copy your post and re-post it with the changed information. The administrator and/or moderator will delete the previous post for you. In the instance no changes are needed, then the new post is unnecessary.
  
• The finishing stages - Once your idea is confirmed, accepted, etcetera, then the administrator / moderator will start the process of adding it to forum information. They may ask if you have images you want to include to the page. When everything is hashed out and applied to the forum, then the lore will be moved to the correct page and become available for viewing via the NPC directory.

NOTE: Any NPC that is made must add value to the roleplay, as well as suit many future scenarios. If they're one-time use, then there is no need to add that NPC to the directory.
