Whether they're second (or third/fourth/five hundredth) characters or NPCs, many role players find themselves mentioning characters other than the established player characters at some point!


This challenge helps you practice posts where you need or want to bring in a new character.

Select a scene from below (which include optional options if you're not sure what kind of new character to introduce), and write an In-Character (IC) post responding to it, which not only uses your established character, but introduces a new one.

Scenes to chose from:

The player characters are all getting together at Tiffany's house for game night.
Your character brings a new person
Play Tiffany and introduce someone else from the house (e.g.: a parent, sibling, or roommate)
Or do something completely different!

Your character shows up to work and meets a new face
A new worker and your character must train them
A new boss
A new customer
Someone from a different part of the business joining your character's section
or do something completely different!

The player characters are walking through town when someone approaches them and starts a new quest
The new character has a quest but can't do it alone
The new character has been wronged and seeks vengeance
The new character wants to get back something they lost
or do something completely different!

A player character finds out about a family member they didn't know about
A half-sister/brother
A cousin
A parent
A grandparent
A son/daughter
