Myriad Reality

So much nothing...Where is the sun?
*Ritter turns to Araby, his eye's peircing into her soul.*
Find the shadows...I can-
*A roar of hissing static thundered into Araby's mind and her vision became extremely blurry to the point of blindness. The effect only lasted for a split second. But when it faded, Ritter had disappeared.*

lol sometimes npc's can help to significantly move a plot along. They can also make for great scenery. At some point, aren't we going to hit a reality that has people in it? Those townsfolk are npc's. If we kill one of them, they might not notice for a while. If we do it in public, we could potentially have a riot on our hands. If we make friends with them, we might gain knowledge of an artifact or an anomaly. Maybe a place to stay like an inn or tavern. Maybe a thief takes something of ours and we hunt him down. You can kill and npc thief. So on etc.

Myriad Reality

This place...I can't see an easy way out...where are we?
*It didn't take long for Ritter to begin assessing the state of the reality around them. It was twisted and strange, as if it wasn't really reality. Yet it was as palpable as the real thing.*

Obviously someone has to play them. We cant install a automated reply sytem. I'm thinking more along the lines of non player characters. Characters that don't really belong to one player. Their more like an extension of the player characters, allowing them to further explore their personalty and develop their character as a whole. (Like showing off the more lethal abilities of all these op characters since you naturally cant auto hit or kill anyone.) Also, because of this fact, their disposable.

Myriad Reality

Actually...
*Ritter pauses, looking around as if it see's something. But there's nothing but sandy dunes and emptiness.*
We should go...

Myriad Reality

*Once Araby said it's name, Ritter began to visibly move, slightly swaying in the wind and appearing to breath and blink.*
Good...so you can hear me.

Myriad Reality

It's basically just a character one of us makes(usually the thread gm) which we fight for an unknown amount of time and eventually kill.

Myriad Reality

lol like fights with temporary characters. Say we encounter a flock of evil gargoils or a giant shark bear or something. That would be an npc.

Myriad Reality

Then I don't know....get it?
*The entities silver hair flows in the wind slowly.*
Do you know me?

Myriad Reality

*Stand's motionlessly, like a tall statue.*
...What do you want?
