The NPC Meme



I'm sure someone knows their names...

Welcome to the NPC meme! This meme has certain special rules and functions unlike many other memes! In this meme, the NPC journal isn't just encouraged, it's how you play. Or, at least...how someone involved in the thread does.

The premise is simple: You post your character to lure in some characters who aren't currently being played, and someone else brings in the NPC journal with their interpretation of that character. You play a thread! CR gaps filled!

Alternatively, if you have a character you might be interested in playing in the capacity of an NPC (such as a character you don't want to app, and thus put in a test drive, for one reason or another) then post a top level for that NPC.

Currently played characters may tag out only to NPC top level comments, not to each other. NPC characters could tag to anyone. However, since threads in this meme are eligible for AC (and therefore game canon), it's best for NPCs to tag current characters, rather than other NPCs.

Steps/Rules

1: Post a top level with either your character or an NPC you'd like to play for the meme (Using the NPC account!) - If you're looking for someone specific to tag you, be sure to include it in the top level somewhere so people know to bring them.

2: With your characters, tag out to NPC top-levels or wait for an NPC to tag you. With NPCs, tag out to top level 'current' character threads, or respond to characters that tag your NPC of choice.

3: Thread things that can't yet be played out, or might never be able to be played out!

4: When playing an NPC, since you'll be using the NPC account to do it, don't forget to track the thread with one of your own accounts! (If you have a paid, at least. For free accounts, it's still recommended that you track at least the entire post so you don't miss anything!)

Sasuke had spent enough time away from home in the past few months that he probably fully deserved the raised eyebrow Fugaku had levelled him with when he was caught on his way out the door. He'd only been headed out for a run, information from his investigation team still trickling in from the field in confusing patterns, but Fugaku's pointed Your mother has gone to the market was clear enough.

There were plenty of shinobi already at the morning market by the time Sasuke spotted his mother's slight figure in the crowd, sidling past a pair of Inuzuka intensely debating the quality of soup bones to flag her down.

Fugaku truly had his number, Sasuke thought dryly; there were very few people he would have suffered a crowd for on purpose.

She wasn't hard to flag, and it was rather hard to miss one of her boys when they actually wanted her attention. Her smile was immediate, and she deftly stepped sideways in the crowd to clear a gap for her son to come to her side. "I'm guessing your father sent you out sweetheart?"
