Here is how it works, they will be sorted in batches of five alphabetically.  If time permits, as well as attention and motivation, I will combine these into a master list for easier reference.

If a NPC dies, then instead of deleting them, there will be a second set of parenthesis that will have their altered condition. For example: (DEAD)(INCAP'ED)(WOUNDED)(MIND RAPED, BRANDED, AND RETARDED)

Again, that is primarily for reference and so I won't use the same NPC twice if they die, and if they are out of action I won't use them.

As for interaction, I plan to play about 4-5 of the NPCs each day, so I may play either 1 a day, or all 5 in small scenes.  Also, I will have the NPCs interact with each other, so a thug may kill an NPC and a cop will arrest him.  An NPC is wounded and taken to the doctor to be fixed up.  A NPC dies and his love ones mourn them, file a report, get arrested...I think you all get the point.

Finally, if RJ allows it, I will increase different types of NPCs depending on the actions of the players.  For instance, if it is quiet, I'll make more meatbag type NPCs.  If things get out of hand, naturally the police will crack down and I might make 5 new cops to play.  If things REALLY start getting out of hand, like all the cops constantly get killed, with permission I'll send in SWAT, military, etc.  On the other side, if I have too many NPCs that are not getting any interaction, I will start making them more pesky.  Depending on what I can get away with, it could be them being simply annoying and hanging around too much, to them being shot.  Out of a cannon.  At you.

Any suggestions for NPCs will certainly be taken into consideration, and I would like to encourage the creation of red shirt mortal NPCs.  Also, if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me.



DISCLAIMER: Any resemblance to ANYONE and EVERYONE living, dead, undead, or otherwise is purely coincidental, unintentional, and damn right creepy.  Also note that I will not change names unless under extreme circumstances, like documented proof that they killed your parents or that they are, in fact, Batman.

Hues, Raymond

Raymond Hues came from a large Catholic family.  Always being one of the  faithful members, he decided to become a priest after high school.  He gives sermons at the cathedral, and occasionally moves between churches in the surrounding area.  Practicing what he preaches, he is considered by many of his congregation a decent moral compass for the city.
