Non Playable Characters
Non Playable Character (NPC), also known as a Non Player Character, is a fictional character portrayed by a player to add flavour to a story. An NPC should be thought of as a ‘supporting role,’ like an extra on a television show. Their key role is to help the main character (your character) shine! An NPC should never eclipse your character, but instead be considered a prop to help your character tell their story.
NPCs can be used for dialog, buying, selling and trading goods, etc. They are also used to fill out roles in your character’s family, friend circle and place of work. However, there are some basic rules surrounding the use of NPCs the OIA Team would like all players to follow.
i. Your character can not learn any skills, abilities or magic from an NPC. ii. All NPCs created by you should be listed on your Character Sheet. iii. You are permitted to start with two free NPCs with zero stats. These are known as Story Only NPCs. Any extra NPCs accumulated after that cost In Character (IC) Gold Krowns (see prices below). iv. All NPCs must be approved via the Requests & Consent forum. v. NPCs do not gain stats over time, however, you can pay the difference to upgrade stats from 25 to 50, 75, or 100.
All Base Stats are 5. You are paying for extra stats (25, 50, 75, or 100).
100 Krowns 25 Stats.
250 Krowns 50 Stats.
500 Krowns 75 Stats.
1000 Krowns 100 Stats.
How to calculate your NPCs stats:
All stats start at 5, excluding any stats you have purchased. Add the stat type you have purchased (25, 50, 75, or 100), then add your NPCs race stats (see Race Page).
Information that should be displayed for each NPC you own is as follows:
Compulsory
Race: (The NPCs Race).
Name: (The NPCs Name).
Relationship: (The NPCs relation to your character).
Magic: (The class of magic the NPC knows if any).
Stats: (purchased stats + race stats).
Background: (A brief character background including how your character came to know them).
