Blank NPC
A blank NPC you can buy, modify its appearance and race to your whims. It will follow you around and level up as you do but at a much slower rate. You can buy EXP packs to boost them up to level 100. EXP packs can only be used by NPCs.
Cost: 5 USD/500 Million Gold
You know, this makes me think. Since leveling and customizing NPCs can be time consuming, wouldn't there be something like pre-built NPCs with:
-Rare races you can't put on a blank NPC
-Rare/limited classes yoou can't normally get your hands on.
-Limited edition unique designs with a lot of detail work that would normally take hours of messing around, or coupled with the first item, any race which would take extra time to design due to complicated models.
-Limited edition special items(which players promptly murder the NPCs for loot)
-Unique NPC special abilities
Which would sell for more than blank NPCs, but would be in demand for purchase by people with big wallets but little gaming time. Doubly so if its a thinly veiled knockoff of some character or another.
So something like
NPC: The Killer Rabbit
A special NPC which has an alternate form.
The disguised form of the NPC is a deliberately harmless design, with a range of options in the Damsel in Distress, Helpless Servant, Cute Child, Creaky Elder and Cuddly Pet archetypes, along with a preset range of appropriate reactions. In this form it always has half the levels of its true form, all of which can only be allocated to non-combatant classes.
The true form of the NPC starts at level 20 in one of the following classes, chosen on purchase: Werewolf, Doppleganger, Magical Girl, Aberration, Demon, Angel, Divine Beast, or Outsider. Levels beyond that are customizable, though the base class may provide additional options.
Divination effects higher than the level of the true form can reveal the true capabilities of the NPC, but otherwise . The health status and equipment of both forms are tracked independently, except that both forms must be killed, otherwise death in one form simply reverts it to the other and it loses the ability to transform for one day. Transformation takes a 10 second sequence, and can't be interrupted even if the starting form was killed during or before it starts.
Yes, you can make a Creaky Elder Magical Girl if you want, or a Cute Child Aberration.
Nobody will judge you
except the other players.
