SECONDARY CHARACTERS Hey, cuties! Just wanted everyone to know that we officially have an app page for secondary characters! It can be found HERE, and there's also a button on the [info]vvicked journal for your convenience! This also means we're accepting holds for secondaries, which you can place on the regular old HOLDS PAGE! It's been tweaked accordingly, so all you have to do is indicate if your hold is for a primary or secondary character. We'll have a taken page for secondaries once we get some in game!

Shout-out to Nat for taking the initiative on this idea. Don't forget to check out her POST. Folks are still scheming, trading, and plotting! Go forth! Have fun!

SECONDARY CHARACTERS Hello, demons. It's me. Ya boi. Nat had a really cool idea that we think could be fun for the game, and she agreed to let us put it out there and see if anyone has any ideas on how to put this in motion!

The tl;dr of the concept is secondary characters. We understand that this GPSL is a lil bit smol compared to what a lot of us might be used to. There's also lines/plots folks would love to be filled that don't exactly lend themselves to longterm characters taking up one whole character slot! Sure, theoretically you can NPC the line yourself, but we know sometimes that takes the fun out of things. So! You can test drive a character, or pick up a temporary character for a fellow player. So far, Kelly and I's contribution to this is having a mini app (nothing crazier than our NPC 'apps,' we promise!), and a rough timeframe included for how long the secondary character will be played. If you're picking up a temp character for another player, you guys can work out how long that storyline will last!

Which leads me to another addition. Nat's also got the idea to make a post where people can basically matchmake/negotiate for these kind of lines! Tit-for-tat obviously isn't necessary, but it could be a great way to get the ball rolling/add another fun element.

We cross posted this to the discord channel so everyone will be in the loop, but feel free to say what you think here! If you have a nifty idea on how to improve upon the mechanic, we definitely want to hear it. We'll add thoughts/contributions to the post in edits, and expect a word from Nat in the comments, as she'll provide some examples of what she has in mind for her post!

EDIT:
We were asked to give a set definition between secondary characters and NPCs, so here it is!
NPCs: Reoccurring characters that are staples and living happily in the background of Autumn Grove, used whenever for whatever purpose.

SECONDARY CHARACTERS: Think of them like guest stars! There's no saying they can't come back. If they're loved, they can be made reoccurring characters or part of the cast. Picking up a secondary character is ideal if you want to do one of the following:
1. Pick up a character for another player that is only functional for a short time (ex: like a visiting out of state family member)
2. You have a character concept you want to test out, but want to make sure it's going to gel before you commit to an app and taking up a character slot.
