Non-Player Character

A Non-Player Character (or NPC) is a character not belonging to a player on the forum. NPC's are generally meant to represent any generic people in the world with no major significance to the story, though this is not always the case. Most NPC characters are free to control by players as needed.

Overview
A non-player character is a long-standing trope in RPG media used to fill out a world and create a sense of lifelike interaction with a player to varying degrees of success. In Dusk Crusade, NPC characters can be freely generated to serve the needs of a player. Organizations also have the ability to use NPC members to represent any sort of footsoldiers or operatives a large group would typically have. It is generally frowned upon for independent characters to generate NPC's as a form of backup in combat or to otherwise manipulate external factors in a fight without consent from other players.

Game
Non-player characters can function in any capacity a player requires during the story. Often times, NPC's are used on missions as a form of obstacle for the character undertaking it. An NPC is generally free to manipulate by a player character, though the standards of fair play still apply. NPC's do not dispense Souls when killed like player characters.

Dungeon Master
The Dungeon Master is a special NPC profile for staff members to use on missions and during random encounters. The Dungeon Master can manipulate any number of NPC's as needed for a mission. When controlled by the Dungeon Master, an NPC is considered to be on the same level as a player character, meaning an opposing player may no longer control their actions during that time.
