NPCs
While PCs clearly make up the bulk of on-cam interactions, the world these characters live in is heavily populated by NPCs as well! IC, NPCs are just as important to chars' lives as PCs are, and there are many places around the IC world that have frequently recurring NPCs your chars might run into or know!
Feel free to populate this list with recurring NPCs; make note of their general appearance and personality and any relevant details that people should know if they want to make use of them! If they are a char that would be known but is restricted-use (i.e., a character's family member!), place an asterisk by their name so people know not to play them in a scene.
Manhattan
Skeet - Skinny homeless kid who frequents the East Village and Lower East Side primarily. Too thin, often twitchy, usually found in many layers of clothing and a large raincoat regardless of weather. Frequents drop-in centers and soup kitchens. Does too much meth. Once shot Jim. Oops.
Natalie Galen - Barista at Evolve Coffeeshop. Early 20's. Not a punk. Her purple hair is natural. If asked, she'll say her mutation is making the best coffee anyone's ever had and many of her customers have reason to believe it! Actually, her mutation, aside from the purple hair, is an altered biological clock that keeps her awake for five days and asleep for one. She doesn't find either of these things particularly useful.
Ryan Black - Resident of the Village Lofts, apartment 304. An up and coming musician, of some small measure of fame along the Boston-NYC-DC East Coast corridor. Early 20's, dark hair, green eyes, easy smile, brings home groupies a lot. Plays keyboard decently, guitar excellently and violin better still, incorporates a lot of classical into his rock. Lives with three roommates, one of whom is covered in hedgehog quills and one of whom looks more like a bird than a human, but displays no notable mutancy himself. (This NPC is adoptable! Talk to Jackson or Hive for details.)
Xavier's School
Students
- Daiki Komatsu - Born December, 1996. Tall slim Japanese boy, usually keeps his shoulder-length hair tied back in a ponytail. Mutation: Charisma. People like him. Sometimes quite intensely. Kinda sucks for him because he is a major introvert. Quiet and keeps a lot to himself. When people will let him, at least. (This NPC is adoptable! Talk to Shane or Sebastian for details.)
- Inès Riera - Born August, 1996. Dark haired, dark eyed Columbian girl. Mutation: Electrokinesis. Social butterfly. Usually the first to organize all the parties and the first to know all the gossip.
- Taylor Allen - Born June, 1997. Tall and muscular for his age, sports jet-black skin, a shaved head, and a wealth of regenerative tentacles of varying sizes. Also has a very low-level telepathy. Despite his alarming appearance and the strength of his extra limbs, is quite cheerful and friendly. Has also heard all your Japanese porn jokes so many times already.
Faculty & Staff
- Charles Xavier - The telepath of telepaths. Also the Headmaster. Knows if you've been naughty or nice.
- Hank McCoy - Furry. Blue. Erudite. Friendly. Teaches science, works in the medbay.
- Savita Chavan - Cook. Often found around the kitchens. Will probably rap you with a spoon if you try sneaking around while meals are being prepared but also remembers everyone's favorite foods and keeps lots of tasty treats around. Is fully human; her daughter was a mutant who graduated Xavier's years back.
