INTRODUCTION: NPCS
NPCs, or Non-Playable Characters, are characters who are not controlled primarily by the creator and serve more supplemental roles to the plot! These NPCs could be someone like your character's parents, a hero to your sidekick, or a villain who is prevalent to your character's plot. NPCs tend to have stats that are higher than your average starting character and have quirks that do not need review or approval. Due to them not having to go through our approval process we ask that players exercise caution when building their NPCs quirk and use reasonable judgement to determine the power level of their NPCs quirks. NPC quirks are still victim to our banned quirks list found within the Rules section of the Information page. A general rule of thumb is that quirks that can highly influence the very world state of the site are banned from use, and as such any instances of an NPC with a quirk like that existing will need to be adjusted or changed outright.
NPCs are free to have upwards of three skills of any rank, and have quirks that can go up to Diamond rank. These three skills can be any rank that you want them to be but generally they tend to stay below Gold unless you have a good reason for them to be Platinum! But you are free to experiment within these limits as much as you wish.
This is obvious that an NPC can't be RP'd solely, they have to be used in conjunction with your PC. We ask that you do not make characters who simply exist to "sugar-daddy" your player character such as a rich character who non-stop provides your character with expensive gifts, or a character who just exists to get your character out of binds. Use sensibility when it comes to determine if your NPC may fall under this category. On top of this we ask that you don't make plots solely comprised of NPCs and try to bring in as many player characters as you can, we are a roleplaying site not a fanfiction site after all.
Another rule for NPCs is they cannot hold important positions such as a mayor, a top 10 hero, or a internationally known villain or vigilante. This is to prevent NPCs from being created with major positions of powers that could greatly influence the plot of the site, we generally want to save such positions for use of players! So for now NPCs are restricted from holding major positions such as the ones listed, if you are unsure please feel free to message a moderator to review an NPC application or role for you to see if it fits the sites rules!
The final rule is that NPCs cannot be students of any existing hero schools, as they are generally limited player character slots!
Besides the obvious rules NPCs allow you to create major characters within your plot without having to create entirely new PCs just for a role in your personal plot. Please feel free to use the NPC Application when creating your NPC.
