I. Introduction

Non-Player-Characters, or NPCs, are an important and vital aspect of all sims. This guide will briefly outline the rules and regulations for creating and playing NPCs, as well as give suggestions for creating interesting and unique characters.

• Players are free to create up to five NPCs within their own department. If anyone would like to create an NPC for another department, please get the approval of that particular Department Head.

• All NPCs must follow the guidelines laid forth in the Character Creation Guide.

• No NPC may hold an officer rank without permission from the Command Staff. They must be either enlisted personnel (including warrant officer ranks) or civilians. Officer ranks are usually reserved for player characters, however we are flexible and will try to accommodate everyone.

• All NPCs must comply with Obsidian Fleet's playable Federation character list.

• All NPCs must contain a character image as well as full physical stats and description. The Personality Profile and Character History may be left blank, however if the NPC is frequently used, it would be best to elaborate on his/her character.

• NPCs may be linked (belong to a specific player) or unlinked (for everyone's use). If a NPC is linked, you must make a note in the character's biography that informs the rest of the crew who that NPC belongs to. An example note would simply be: [NPC owned by 'Your Name'].
  
  

• No NPC may hold commissioned officer rank (ENS or higher) without permission from the Command Staff.

• Only one Chief Petty Officer (CPO) per department. Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) is reserved for the Chief of the Boat.

• Only one Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) per department.

• Assistant Department Heads may hold a secondary position of their specialty.
  
  

• NPCs should be a variety of different races/species. Starfleet vessels are typically composed of at least 1/3 non-Humans, so do your best to include all of the various Federation races.

• Common hybrid races (i.e. Human/Vulcan) are acceptable, however please consider the practicality of mixing certain uncommon and different races as well as the possible outcome (i.e. Ferengi/Andorian).

• NPCs should be an equal mix of male and female. A 50/50 split would be ideal, with 60/40 being the extreme.
