Simply tell us and we will archive your npc submission so your character can roam around.

 

[Alatar Istari]

Is there a butterfly species native to Naboo, or should I just put the species as a specific butterfly?

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Joelle Dain"] if there is a species you wish to use you can, if there isn't one you can make it with a species submission and we'll see how it goes from there.

 

[Alatar Istari]

I guess I didn't word that correctly, for the line labeled species, would I put down butterfly, or do I need to say a specific species of butterflies

 

[Ibby]

If I were to have a staff of 3 people (two waitresses and one cook) that have names but won't do much outside of the designated jobs, do I need to still submit a thingy for them? And if so, would they be together or separate ones?

(This character owns a diner; I already have the submission for the diner itself completed, just waiting for the codex to reopen)

The codex is always optional. Unless you are making a custom planet to have this diner on or the people are a non star wars species you don't have to submit them at all. You can just use them.

However if you were going to submit them then three standard templates in one post with spoilers is the way to do it.

Alright, sounds good. I was just concerned with having them established so no one kills them or anything.

Oh, and my diner is on Rendili, which doesn't have any city names in the Wookieepedia page. Do I need to submit something for the city the diner is in or just have it remain unnamed?

If you are submitting a city on Rendili I would work with [member="Camellia Swift"] she has been doing a lot on that planet and I believe has some stuff.

Quick question.

How come I can't start a new thread in this? Is there another area for NPC stuff?

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Krest"] the codex is still closed for christmas and new years.

 

[Darth Ferus]

[member="Matsu Ike"]

Oohh. Didn't know that, thanks though!

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

Would it be appropriate to use named NPCs for a thread taking place in the past?

 

[Via Dolorosa]

I read the sticky about NPC creation and I have a couple of questions...though I'm sure I know the answer to one of them.

1) Force Ghosts...Yay or Nay


2)Disembodied NPC--- Voices.


I ask because my character's mind is haunted by five voices...story line in progress....which will lead to just one factor of her madness TM. Could Q2 be used to give "life" to the voices?

Force ghosts are allowed and judged on a case by case basis. If they were story elements and going to appear it is one thing, if they are there to teach you a rare skill it is something else.

As for voices only well we have never really had one of those so if you make the submission we'll go from there

 

[Slate Estrada]

I was going to make a NPC that is largely involved in my characters backstory, but is now deceased. Should I submit this as a NPC or just write a Lore submission?

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Slate Estrada"] Lore submission are looked at very closely and checked more. For character backstory if you want to make one I would suggest an NPC.

[member="Matsu Ike"]

Thanks for the help.

 

[Haruka Zanzamoto]

Talking spider... think that would be a good NPC in some cases?

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Teto Gravos"]

It could if there is a species capable of it. If not then you would have to make a custom species first.
