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!)

Hana was in the marketplace when she smelled smoke. It wasn't coming from the direction of prepared food shops or stalls, so she leaped immediately to the nearest rooftop, following her nose as she avoided the morning crowds. She didn't see anyone else paying attention to the imminent conflagration. Shirakumo's presence went entirely unnoticed. Hana, in fact, didn't look around for other shinobi support at all before leaping in to intervene. She had the Haimaru brothers with her. Who needed strategy here? A glance between them was enough to come to an unspoken agreement; stop the kids without hurting them. One Inuzuka human and her three ninken meant four of the seven could be tackled at once. Over 50%, not bad.

They jumped.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Hana snapped a second after hitting her ground, her target pinned beneath her. He was squirming and looked rather alarmed by the sudden attack.
