NPC Checkout Form

Some characters don't lend themselves to being permanent PCs, and aren't really under another character's direct umbrella, but still make moves that are relevant to character arcs or current plot content.

If you need to borrow an NPC or theoretical potential PC who isn't under your character's usual aegis for the sake of some beat, please send this to the appbox with details.

Format the request as "Request - Plot - NPC Checkout (Name)".

Requests sent before 7 November 2022 will be grandfathered in and responded to regardless of format.

NPC Checkout Form

1. Character

Please state the NPC or NPCs you want or need to borrow to make this work. Ideally, you should also give us a few sentences about their canon role, a Wiki link to a place where we can review the character's canon deal, or some similar indication of 'who is this,' because while staff knows a lot about robots our knowledge isn't perfect.

2. Action

What are they actually going to be doing? Is this SRTMOO Original Plot that happens to need a cool and familiar face due to where it's located, or a canon-similar beat?

3. Scope

How many scenes do you need to borrow them for? Do you need them to be a significant background presence in some way for a while?

4. Consequences

How much does this advance the NPC's story? What state will you 'return' the NPC in, at the end of the plot? We're actually okay with 'destructive' or 'radically transformative' use of NPCs (especially those that die in their canon) but we would like to know about it.

5. Logistics

Do you need a player to temp the character? Do you already HAVE a player to temp the character? Do you plan to run them yourself? Any of these are fine (our staff and plot coordinators can certainly help you find temps even!) but again, best supporting you means we need to know.
