THE MAJOR NPCS.
Played only by the moderators, the Major NPCs can be threaded against the players’ characters if they want to get information, missions, or things. The downside to the Major NPCs is that certain NPCs’ time is limited. This is thanks to them being busy with duties outside of the characters’ predicament. Check your characters’ chances of getting someone by reviewing the NPC’s availability status and figuring out if the request or the way reaching out to them/getting their attention will be enough.*
* — And please don’t fret about the risk of rejection! Even if your characters’ request ends up getting denied for IC reasons, they won’t be left empty-handed from their attempt! They’ll still get something out of the encounter — Whether it’s a favour or an item or a promise of a guaranteed meeting in the future.
Played by: Emmy. | Occupation: Head of Operations & Command. | Availability: Rare.
Practical and to the point, Laura is a salt of the earth woman who does her best to see eye-to-eye with others. She cares for those under her command, feeling personally responsible for the characters. If your character is interested in getting involved with projects and missions, she’s the best one to reach out to.
Played by: Jen. | Occupation: Head of Communication & Information. | Availability: Intermediate.
Always trying his best while battling the endless demand of paperworks and power lunches, Leeds Ascii is an awkward but friendly guy who is keeping tabs on the new faces when he has the time to do so. He’s the one you go to if you want information or your suggestions on the tablet and the network to be taken seriously by someone.
Played by: Melly. | Occupation: Head of Relations & Media. | Availability: Immediate.
Newest member of the Head Command after getting a promotion, Mori is trying to prove herself in the wake of the previous Head’s retirement. She’s the one the characters can approach for requests of items, materials, and meetings with other Major NPCs — If they don’t mind her terrifyingly brusque and sharp personality.
Played by: Melly & Jen. | Occupation: Deputised Medical Drone. | Availability: Immediate.
Once known as Medical Drone 15-Y, Meddy is a friendly, and surprisingly sassy, drone that specialises in health and caregiving. They've recently been reprogrammed by Leeds Ascii to consider the welfare of the characters their top priority. Expect a zippy and noisy medical drone to pester your character in the near future.
Played by: Moderators. | Occupation: ??? | Availability: ???
There are several more Major NPCs that can be discovered over the course of the game through Major Events, Minor Events, or pure happenstance if the characters can think out of the box in their actions or solutions to things. If discovered, these NPCs can offer pretty useful and neat things to the characters.
THE MINOR NPCS.
Readily available for the players, the Minor NPCs can be used in threads if you want your character to have an IC excuse to do an action or to participate in an event. They have their personality and their basic information written down for reference, so please keep them in mind when using the Minor NPCs.
Occupation: NODICE agent. | Personality: Chatty. Cheerful. Fun-loving.
A fifteen foot mechanoid alien who is little obtuse at times, Breakneck means well and wants to help out. She’s assigned to watch the characters and will often drop by their preferred housing, happy to have a long chat with them to see how they are. Quick to give suggestions on what they can do or where to visit.
Occupation: Multiple positions. | Personality: Polite. Friendly. Mild.
Found primarily in NODICE, Aster District and Hill Heights, these human-sized robots generally server as workers under the fields of manual labour and retail services. Having been manufactured and programmed by humans, most droid’s base personality programs are one of friendly politeness, always happy to help.
Occupation: Puppy Caretaker/Storyteller. | Personality: Quiet. Deliberate. Patient.
One of stranger results of NODICE’s past projects, Shellshock’s original purpose is unknown. Not that Shellshock minds. They’re very mellow, content with their way in life. They’re a source of support and comfort to others, always willing to hear them out and let them vent if they need someone to listen to their woes.
Occupation: Cute mascots-to-be. | Personality: Noisy. Loyal. Goofy.
The puppies of the Head of Research & Development’s retired service dog, these puppies are a bundle of happy joy! They’re often found in a pack of cuteness, running about NODICE's base like they own it. Currently being watched by Shellshock in the wake of the Head of Research & Development leaving for a vacation, taking his dog with him.
THE SETTING.
These are the areas your characters can interact with and explore with. While this may look sparse for the meantime, please don't fret. More places and locations will be unlocked and revealed over the course of the game and through the actions of your characters. Make sure to keep an eye out for this section of the page as time passes!
Found in: Characters’ tablet.
The network system that acts as a central hub of information and messaging for the characters while they stay in Dust Tumbles. It currently supports voice and text but not pictures or video feed for some reason.
Found in: Setting page.
From Rooted Row to Mariah Sector, from Hill Heights to Aster District - The city's known locations are yours to explore! Your character may even find more locations and faces during their exploration, depending what they do.
