So- I have gotten you all out of the cell, and sent you off for your first experiences- the evaluation of your abilities. I had to send two of you with Eversilver because I'd like to keeo the Doc as NPC as possible, but if one of you wants to misbehave and get sent to "the office" feel free, the doctor, as always, is in.
BTW, Khadgar, are you playing two recruits? I noticed you posted two characters, but didn't know if you were going to use both or if, in case you were using both, if they were both recruits or one of each.
The Doctor is a no-kill NPC, meaning you can use him and talk for him, but don't kill him because that would seriously mess with the story. As for Lauren's NPC's, unless she is seriously emotionally attached to them, go ahead and do what you wish, just undertand that I reserve the right to step into their shoes and kick your ass back.
NPC's are just that- non player, so use them and enjoy them, I'll be adding more as the story progresses- like guards and things that you can practice on.
When you are in the room with an NPC, you control them, use them to advance your own story, or, escape, run out into the hall, and I'll ask Kelson to beat the sh** out of you.
