[div align=”center”]NPC Guidelines for SL & ST Dept[/div]

Non Player Characters (NPC's) can be a vital part of any Storyline (SL) and bring about numerous venues of roleplaying experiences. The use of NPC's should in no way cut out the chance for Player Character (PC) interaction however. If you have any ideas in which you may need additional people for your storyline, feel free to check with other players first, there are plenty of varying characters already out there to make an interesting occurance and most will be happy to be given part of something well thought out and creative.

The use of NPC's is not limited except for on instance. If an NPC has stats, they have to be approved along certain guidelines. These will only be approved in the event that a Player Character simply will not work. For instance: Standard Police, Fire Fighters, Security Guards, Secretaries, Accountants, Some Lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, etc… in these occasion a PC may not work out or be found in time and an NPC may be needed. If your SL runs into this area we have set up a fair level system to guide you through the NPC creation process.
