Question Posting and NPC Etiquette

[Dral-Kar'ta Saanndyr]

I am perusing the RP and have noticed that the writing style tends to (very generally) favor internal narratives over exposition. If I wanted to do some character development posts that do not involve another PC, would it be acceptable for me to RP actions of an NPC with my PC. For example, to totally make up a scene, PC goes into a cantina on Moss Eisley to hire passage offworld. I have an NPC interact with my PC saying he and his friend do not like me, PC responds he will be careful and NPC responds that he will be dead so PC chops his arm off with a Beskad (see, I'm not plagiarizing). OR is that kind of assumption and storytelling practice frowned upon.

Thanks in advance.

A lot of people actually utilize NPCs in their posts and writing, so it's totally okay. We even have an 'NPC' creation section in the Codex area, if you want to flesh out the NPCs that show up in your posts and want others to have an idea of who they are, etc.

I write NPCs all the time. Some of my posts are more NPC characters than my actual PC. Go forth and write my friend

I do find that NPCs are usually best for set up, or finalising threads though. Too many in each post leaves a lot for the other writer to interact with.

Also note, you can do solo RPs if you want. Just mark them as private in the private RP section and write to your heart's content.
