Isolation OOC Discussion - PepsiWhirda - 09-05-2013
For my (currently) solo storyline in The Tangled Green. Of course, feel free to comment on the writing or bring your character over there and join in. Mostly I made this to gauge what you guys want to see more of from that Verse. Should I focus on slaughtering goblins and orcs, maybe visit Yggdrassil and the elves, get some ninjas involved, or even tussle with dinosaurs and shamans and other weirdness? I have an idea in mind, but I'm always open to suggestions! Teamwork makes the dream work. :pac:

You should be a hippy tree-hugger and yell at the poor woodsmen who're trying to get firewood.

If you wanna meet up with any NPCs like Tsunade or Tyrande, I'm happy to roleplay their reactions and stuff. Or if you just want some random stuff to happen. I am here to make things more interesting for the players. :hee:

Oh! Don't forget that he was a Story Request thread, if you want/need assistance with things to do. And that goes for everyone.

I was wondering. If I run into an NPC on my travels (an original one, or one from the Forgotten Realms lore who no one would ever reasonably want to play), can they join me and fight with me, or would that constitute a secondary I'd have to stat and buy?

tl;dr: That's fine. Long answer:
Q: Can I make my own NPCs? (non-player characters)
A: Yeah. You should know about 'secondaries' if you've read About The World. Most of the inhabitants of the Omniverse are secondaries, people summoned by Primes (you're a Prime). So if you like, your character can summon one of their friends to hang out with, or just create their own (if they never had any to begin with :foreveralone
. Or your character can just meet a secondary summoned by another Prime (and there are lots of them. Lots.). Just remember that, while you 'own' your own NPCs the same way you own your character, they don't give you an advantage in fights or competitions unless you make them a Summon. See summoning rules for that. Having one or two personal NPCs as a Prime is allowed, but it must be approved by Omni.

Got it. I'm not sure I understood some of the distinctions, since I never did Chubbz or whatever those other sites are. Secondaries vs. NPCs, fights/competitions vs. story combat, etc...
Re: Isolation OOC Discussion - Omni - 09-06-2013
Secondaries are an IC terminology unique to the Omniverse (Primes, who are immortal and can use omnilium, Secondaries, who are mortal and cannot). NPCs (non-player-characters) can be Primes or secondaries.
Edit: I cleared it up a bit

So if you like, your character can summon one of their friends to hang out with, or even create someone or something from their imagination. Or your character can just meet a secondary summoned by an NPC Prime (though you should get approval from Omni for this).

Are there Site/GM NPCs who are Primes or Secondaries? I can imagine infinite storyline potential for two classes of citizens in the Omniverse, and the Primes being those who are treated as the High Caste, whereas Secondaries are treated as lessers, etc.
Not sure how they would be identified or determined, but if we could incorporate this IC, it COULD prove interesting!

There's a loooot about this in About the World. A lot of the questions you're asking are basically covered if you look around enough.

I read initially, but this time around I looked for specific keywords....and what can I say? Great minds think alike! Your story is basically what I said it *could* be, and more!
Nice work, man.

I am so sorry if that post was terrible. Writing other people's characters is scary. 8(
