NPCs - People the Companions have interacted with or know. Generally not Villains.

Guidelines

When describing an NPC, try and make use of the Seven-Point Character Summary.

This is extracted and paraphrased from Ed Greenwood's "Seven Sentence NPC" article in Dragon Magazine #184, circa 1992.

The idea is for you to write or simply get straight in your head these salient points about any character you play. For your brand new characters, you have lots of room to use your imagination. Try to think of at least one unusual, unique characteristic that makes this character different than any other character.

Occupation and/or history

Physical description

Unusual skills or attributes

What is the character good at? Listing the obvious is okay, but try to take it a step further.

Values and motivations

What drives the character to act? What types of things does he or she consider important?

Interactions with others

What attitude does the character have towards other people? What face does he or she present to the rest of the world?

Useful knowledge

What types of things does this character know? Look beyond what's on the character sheet.

Distinguishing features

There is something unusual or unique about everyone. What stands out the most about this character? This can be a major, dramatic feature, or a minor one.
