NPC Stands for Non-Player Character.
NPC's are the backbone of the simulation. They are the various background
characters in the sim that can be created at will and controlled by
any simmers. NPCs can range from being other crewmembers, to family,
to friends, and to enemies. Although you can alter their things that
would have much impact on these characters, please note that they are
not redshirts and should not be killed at the blink of an eye.
NPC+ Stands for Non-Player Character
Plus. NPC+'s are more developed NPC's which often are the result of
the work of one or more simmers. These characters have been featured
in numerous logs and in many aspects can be as developed and 'real'
as PC characters. Often at times, the creator of an NPC+ has plans for
the character and may even post as that character. It is recommended
that if you wish to use an NPC+, you get permission first from it's
creator.
PC: Stands for Player Character.
Every member of the sim controls one PC, which is their primary character
for development and interaction. It is important that you contact the
member who owns the PC, before you write something really significant
about it in one of your posts.
