These NPC Character Sheet Guidelines outline how NPC Character Sheets are managed in the Dark Brotherhood. This includes conditions by which members will be granted NPC Character Sheets as well as when and in what manner they should be utilized. These guidelines are maintained by the Voice of the Brotherhood and their staff.
As an alternative to these guidelines, members are free to create and develop any characters they wish on the wiki in as much detail as necessary.
Training and Education
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are not considered part of Brotherhood Canon for the purposes of training and educating members on using these Character Sheets. This includes training in the Antei Combat Center as well the Shadow Academy for their respective duties. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by either the Voice of the Brotherhood or Headmaster and their staffs.
Rite of Supremacy / Great Jedi War
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot of either a Rite of Supremacy or Great Jedi War Vendetta, where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members in works of fiction. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by the Voice of the Brotherhood and their staff and their persistence beyond the conclusion of a Vendetta at their discretion depending on future plans.
Clan Feud / Sanctioned Competition
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot of either a Clan Feud or Sanctioned Competition Vendetta, where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members in works of fiction. These NPC Character Sheets will be owned by the members on the summits of the Clans for the duration of the events. These NPC Character Sheets will need to be reviewed at the conclusion of the event to become either part of a Clan Fiction Plot (see below) or transferred in ownership to the Voice of the Brotherhood staff to become part of larger future Vendetta activities such as a Rite of Supremacy or Great Jedi War (see above).
Clan Storyline
Character Sheets are created for NPCs that are active in the plot and fictional story of a Clan, where they show up in competition prompts and interact with members of the Clan in works of fiction as a major protagonist or antagonist. These NPC Character Sheets must go through a submission and approval process before being created for ownership by the Consul of the requesting Clan.
Requirements:
- Cannot already have an NPC Character Sheet for the Clan Storyline (temporary requirement)
- Name, Path, Order, Rank, Species
- Link to a full wiki article not considered under construction that is created for the character that includes a biography, philosophy, appearance and personality.
- Relevance to the Clan plot and what role they will play in competitions and interactions with members.
- Why a member of the Clan cannot fill the fictional role of this NPC.
- If a Clan has existing NPC Character Sheets already, list them here and the active roles they are playing that require a new addition.
Awarded
Character Sheets can be awarded to Clans or members. The process of awarding is currently under development along with possessions, and documentation for how to handle this process is undetermined. Any approval of an NPC Character Sheet award will require approval by the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Voice of the Brotherhood.
