NPC Interactions

I outlined a quick way to come up with school NPCs here: https://astralfrontier.org/generating-silverline-npcs/

I also wrote a script to take a spec for random rolls, source code is here: https://github.com/astralfrontier/randomtables

The goal here is come up with a set of 4 NPC descriptions for each PC, then find ways to combine them as characters - that is, a rival to Ghost could be a friend to Sabine.

Requests from the fans:

  • Is Astralis training her friends? What extracurricular or sport is Astralis involved with?
  • Sabine has 2 crushes for some reason - I want her to share one of those with either Ghost or Astralis
  • I think two of the school NPCs should be identical twins - any two - and they can never get away with fooling the cool teacher

Image shortlist:

Method: I generated 4 NPCs for 5 PCs, making 20. I’m probably going to prune 1 each, leaving 15. Of those, ideally I’ll double up but no further. that leaves me 7-8 people. If I pick 4 boys and 4 girls from the image set, then allocate them, I think that’ll work out
