NPC Creation Rules
NPCs are Non-Player Characters. These are not Player Characters (but are Player Character Controlled).

Types of NPCs
Only two types of NPCs can be created by players:

Battle NPCs (bNPCs): You are only capable of having 1 of these. These NPCs are allowed to join you in battle. These NPCs are also capable of acting on their own and being in their own topics on their own. You will not gain EXP from topics where the NPC is the main focus (no, you cannot be somewhere in the background of the RP to claim credit). bNPCs can be killed like PCs.
Civilian NPCs (cNPCs): You are only capable of having 3 of these. These NPCs generally have some kind of function, either as a store NPC or as a non-combatant. These NPCs don't have stats. They can be capable of acting on their own and being in their own topics on their own. Same rule applies with bNPCs.

bNPC Format

Code:: [b]NPC Name[/b] [img=urlhere] [b]Race[/b]: [b]Age[/b]: [b]Sex[/b]: [b]Appearance[/b]: [b]Personality[/b]: [b]Place of Origin[/b]: [b]History[/b]: [b][u]Skill Points[/u][/b] 1: 2: [b][u]Passive[/u][/b] 1: [b][u]Stats[/u][/b] [list][*][b]Strength[/b]: 01 / 15 [*][b]Dexterity[/b]: 01 / 15 [*][b]Constitution[/b]: 01 / 15 [*][b]Intelligence[/b]: 01 / 15 [*][b]Wisdom[/b]: 01 / 15 [*][b]Charisma[/b]: 01 / 15 [/list]

cNPC Format

Code:: [b]NPC Name[/b] [img=urlhere] [b]Race[/b]: [b]Age[/b]: [b]Sex[/b]: [b]Appearance[/b]: [b]Personality[/b]: [b]Place of Origin[/b]: [b]History[/b]:

Separate the NPCs
bNPCs will have their very own thread. If you wish to make Civilian NPCs, you can lump them up into their own thread together. bNPCs will be in their very own thread for the sake of improving the bNPC and for easier tracking.

Images
It's nice, but not required. If no image is going to be used, delete the code from the format.

Pre-Made Only for bNPCs
bNPCs may only use pre-made Skills and pre-made Passives.

Stat Limits for bNPCs

Each bNPC will only have a limit of 15 in each stat -- as they aren't meant to be as strong as PCs
bNPCs may also never have stats higher than the PC creating them
bNPCs may only have a maximum of 75 Stat Raises (as opposed to 90 that PCs can have

Price Per Stat Raise
Besides the 6 starting Stat Raises, each stat raise will cost the user 200 Reol each.

bNPC Limits
There are limits to what a bNPC can do

bNPCs cannot gain EXP and they do not count as another PC when a number of PCs are required. You cannot be in an RP with your bNPC and it count as 2 people in a topic.
bNPCs cannot have Reol. Any Reol that needs to be spent by this bNPC will come from the PC character's Reol.
You cannot make Skill Libraries specifically for a bNPC. bNPCs cannot be owners of Skill Libraries
bNPCs cannot craft
bNPCs can join you in Quests, but they won't get anything out of it.
bNPCs can participate in Contracts and Vengeance Bounties but will not count when giving out rewards

Strengthening bNPCs
You are capable of increasing the stats of a bNPC afterwards once your character's stats have increased. To do so, make a request in the same thread you made this NPC and 'buy' the stat raises.

Equipping NPCs
You are capable of equipping an NPC with any items of your choice. You must make a request in the bNPC creation thread with proper links to where the bNPC obtained the item -- yes, your PC may give your bNPC items.

Re-Spec-ing bNPCs
bNPCs can be Re-Spec'd in the same way PCs can be Re-Spec'd. However, using it on your bNPC will not count towards your PC. You can change their stats, their Skills, and their Passive and nothing else.

NPC Death
Yes, it's possible for both Civilian NPCs and Battle NPCs to die. If they die, they will be marked as dead in their appropriate topics. You may replace them by creating new ones. In the event of bNPCs, they are required to be purchased again.
