(i thought it would be a good idea to make one of these since the number of reoccurring NPC characters is increasing! this is a thread in which you can post basic descriptions of your own NPCs. it is NOT just a character thread for me!)
NPCS are characters created to fit a plot role that cannot easily or quickly be filled by a pre-existing character. They are expendable characters who usually belong to an antagonistic faction, or simply a faction that requires more members than the RP seems to already be providing. (NOTE: Don't clog up this thread by posting oneshot prey NPCs! This is for characters that aren't going to show up once just to die.)
WASP'S NPCS:
FALLEN SOLDIER
Gender: Many
Species: Many
Faction: None
Role: Powerful Spirit
Traits: A horrific amalgamation of fear and rage, created from the massacre in the meadow.
Status: Dead, haunting the meadow.
NOTE: This NPC inflicts a passive effect on the Flowered Meadow. Creatures who fall asleep there may be subject to strange and bloody dreams. Those sensitive to ghosts may hear whispers without a source. Those who participated in the battle for the meadow and helped kill the forty-odd animals that make up Fallen Soldier may actually see it, or worse, be attacked by it, though this hasn't happened recently. Gets stronger during periods of violence.
NOAKOM
Gender: Male
Species: Smilodon fatalis
Faction: None currently
Role: Bad Dad

Species: Ambulocetus
Faction: Ex-spy for Sikario, was unable to move on with the rest of the faction due to lack of mobility

WOLFSBANE

QUASATI
Gender: Female
Species: Dik-dik
Faction: Her own
Role: Grasslands spy, poisoner, spy networker
