I hope you all appreciate the amount of work that goes into new NPCs for the game staff side. To show you the amount of thought that goes into such, I've decided to post the following brainstorming meeting for new NPCs for House Tor.

Niamh: Erek Tor
Adhira: Derek, Disec, Bisec
Niamh: Gigan
Morgenes: Destruc
Shalooonsh: Vivisec
Niamh: Construc
Shalooonsh: Conduc
Shalooonsh: Regula
Tiernan: Master Baye
Tiernan: Ora, Debaye  (clearly politicians)
Shalooonsh: I think Instiga should be a politican/diplomat as well
Shalooonsh: Media
Tiernan: Procrastina Tor, although she would be held up in the HoK waiting setup forever
Shalooonsh: Diala
Wyx: Lord Templar of Taxes, Inflay Tor
Tiernan: Percola, the Tor barista
Shalooonsh: Termina Tor, the House Tor HR Rep
Adhira: Kraka Tor - explosive temper
Tiernan: Detanate has the explosive temper
Niamh: Lord Templar Inqusi Tor of the Blue
Wyx: Penetray
Shalooonsh: Vibra
Wyx: His cousin, the spy, Infultray
Niamh: Max Fac, the flaming Tor who loves kohl
Wyx: Fornicay
Niamh: Chiroprac?
Niamh: Or the medic, Defibrula
Wyx: Lord Rap Tor
Shalooonsh: Implan Tor
Tzurahro: Impregnay
Adhira: Hiberna
Tzurahro: Experimen
Niamh: Domina
Shabago: Viola
Shabago: Far (smelly bastard)
Shabago: Pain (likes upgrading the Tor Academy)
Tzurahro: Desecray
Niamh: Denomina, the math prodigy
Shabago: Valida - Head of Tor security
Niamh: Mutlia

And so on...

Serious business.
Nessalin: At night, I stand there and watch you sleep.  With a hammer in one hand and a candy cane in the other.  Judging.
May 04, 2009, 05:39:59 PM #1
Niamh: Mutlia
Shabago: Flo - drifts from job to job.
Niamh: I wouldn't want to be Flo.
Tzurahro: Corrup.  I like Corrup.
Shabago: Ejack ola
Shalooonsh: Disconnec
Shalooonsh: (played by Nyr)
Niamh: Simula
Niamh: Or Stimula, hrm.
Tzurahro: Incrimina
Shabago: Flachulay
Shabago: Can I copy/paste this into a GDB post to show the PB how hard we work?
Shalooonsh:  Sure, I'll get the log, and become Edi (Tor)


The whole thing began late one night on immchat when a certain Tor staffer asked for names for a new NPC Tor Lord... and I threw out the idea of naming him "Erek."

About two weeks down the road, the staffer was talking about Tor and mentioned the Lord had been well accepted.  So began the epic...
I seduced the daughters of men
And made the death of them.
I demanded human sacrifices
From the rest of them.
I became the spirit that haunted
And protected them.
And I lived in the tower of flame
But death collected them.

Of course, Elimineé, the assassin, is a secret NPC we aren't allowed to know about.

And:

Contrac, the builder.
Seeyulay, the ever-absent socializer.
Calculay, the accountant.
Roose, the guy who plays the trumpet and wakes up the Scorpions.
Mor, the tablet-making physician.

Abduc, the child predator.
Ack, the thespian.
Administray, the House leader.
Alligay, the monster!
Alienay, the man who makes every social scene awkward.
Ancess, the history keeper.
Annotay, the OTHER librarian.
Predah, the hunter.
Animay, the artist.
Aviay, the pilot.
Castray, someone's gotta make the eunuchs for the harem.

Administray, the House leader.


They may be the house leader but I still stand by my assertion that Crea Tor is the house founder.
