More commonly known by their abbreviation, NPCs are even lesser than mortals, and so the rules adhering to them are both more loose and more strict. NPCs should never have an effect on the room, at all. They are "makeshift" characters that players throw together on the fly for mood and filler. They are killed and given life again without regard. They have no powers beyond the average person, usually.

Miscellaneous Characters
[ Back to Rules ]
Mortal Characters
Mortal characters do not necessarily have to be mortal. They are simply a type of character with such insignificant powers as to be of little influence in fights. They do not require application -- you may simply play them. What little powers you choose for your mortals to have generally falls under stricter guidelines than noncomps. They may not give any kind of power to other characters. They may not resurrect or heal other characters. They may participate in plots, but how effective their efforts are in such plots are entirely in the plot moderator's discretion, and are not arguable or appealable. In this sense, mortal characters are largely "visitor" characters, for players who simply want a taste of the environment, or want to try their hand as the underdog, since most plot events are geared for higher powered individuals. If this does not suit you, we suggest you try non-competitive characters. However, unlike noncomps, you do not need a competitive character to play a mortal.
Tag Requirements
Mortal characters must display this character type in their tags.
Non-Player Characters (NPCs)
More commonly known by their abbreviation, NPCs are even lesser than mortals, and so the rules adhering to them are both more loose and more strict. NPCs should never have an effect on the room, at all. They are "makeshift" characters that players throw together on the fly for mood and filler. They are killed and given life again without regard. They have no powers beyond the average person, usually. The general rule is, do what you want with them, as long as it doesn't bother the rest of us.
