Can I bring in NPC's/ How do NPCs work in the game?

NPCs are characters who exist in the background, and get occasional play or serve a specific function, but aren't full characters. We have a list of major npcs in the game, which we try to keep to a minimum. While we understand that sometimes they are necessary, we'd ask that you try to come up with ways around npcs first before asking for mod permission to create one. That said, if you do require one, please let us know, so they can be added.

One thing we are trying to avoid in this game is characters that have permenant 'add on' NPCs. So, for example, the girl who is hounded by the ghost of her mother, or the guy who's always got an NPC girlfriend on hand. If you have in mind that your character has an always-present other, please try and find someone to play this character, or find a way for them not to be there. In our experience, and that of our players, that ever-present NPC is really hampering to play against and is likely to end up with your getting less interaction, or interaction of a lesser quality.
