  Spoilers because I have a lot of characters.
  Also, some of this stuff has to do with the mabi fanfic I was writing a while back xD I'm thinking of continuing though :c Also, there might be some keywords I forgot about xD The simulator pictures were made a long time ago too D: It just won't load now even though I use IE to open it.
  
  Timaeuss
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  
  

  [Image: http://puu.sh/5qxL]

  
  
  Name: Timaeuss (Tim)
  Currently posted in: That area in Filia where the cows are (with the well)
  Purpose: Melee skill training
  Friends with: Meles, Riku, Haru, Heta (younger sister), Shinku (wife)
  NPC's he doesn't like: Hagel, Granites, Amairgin
  
  NPC Intro Quote:
  His smile gives off the idea that he's not to be taken seriously all the time. However, his feet are planted firmly on the ground, as if he were ready for seriousness if needed.
  
  Timaeuss:
  "Hey there!"
  
  NPC Backstory:
  After learning most of his skills under Meles, he (along with Heta and Shinku) left Filia to find other work in Uladh. This is where Tim met Riku and Haru, who seemed to be researching something about a goddess. Interested, Tim convinced Heta and Shinku to join them on their quest. After journeying with each other for a long time, the group split up and Tim, Heta, and Shinku all returned to Filia. As an elf who specialized in melee, Tim decided to become a trainer, since most elves seemed to have trouble with it (due to their frailness or whatever).
  
  As a melee trainer: Tim teaches tips on how to train melee skills only. Depending on your skill rank and CP, he may give recommendations on what kinds of dungeons or monsters to fight. That is, if you talk to him with the correct skill keyword. You also must be an elf to receive these tips from him. If not, he says, "Aren't you a human/giant? You shouldn't have too much trouble, haha! If you do, you can talk to this chick named Cessair. She's in Taillteann."
  
  Ideals (just for fun, I guess xD):
  If you talk to him with the ideals keyword, he responds, "Well, you should know! She's my wife!" (Shinku)
  If you type in the wrong ideal (that is still a female character), he says, "Well, she is really pretty. I mean...don't tell Shinku I said that, heh..."
  
  Keywords and Responses:
  Private Story
  "Hm? Why would you want to know that? There's nothing interesting about me! Haha!"
  "You've been to Uladh, right? It's an interesting place, isn't it? Too bad I can't say the same about the people there! Just kidding..."
  "Milletians are lucky. They don't experience death. I know I will someday. It must be pretty scary. That sounds a bit weird coming from me, doesn't it?"
  Nearby Rumors
  "I am a bit outside the town here, so I don't hear much. Plus, I've only recently come back."
  "Hagel and Granites are both pretty annoying..."
  Classes and Training
  "Talk to me about any of the skills you have, and I'll give you some tips on them."
  Anything else makes him reply with, "I don't know; ask someone else."

  Riku
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  
  

  [Image: http://puu.sh/5qxX]

  
  
  Name: Riku
  Currently posted in: Tir Chonaill, standing near the square on the steps (under that big tree)
  Purpose: Magic trainer
  Friends with: Duncan, Lassar, Nora, Piaras, Timaeuss, Haru, Heta, Shinku, Amairgin, Cessair
  NPC's she doesn't like: Morrighan
  Intimacy Items: Mana herbs
  
  NPC Intro Quote:
  She gives off a friendly and gentle vibe and stares off into the distance. Although she looks young, she still looks as if she has been through many experiences.
  
  Riku:
  "Oh, hello. How may I help you?"
  
  NPC Backstory:
  Like the players in Mabinogi, Riku is a milletian, lead to Erinn through the Soul Stream by Nao at the age of 10. After arriving in Erinn, Riku met Haru, who she became close friends with. She also had dreams about the goddess, Morrighan, and set out to find out more. On her journey, she met others who eventually became her friends (Tim, Heta, Shinku). However, it was a dangerous journey, and she lost one of her friends. After that, the group split up, and she had lost motivation to continue. For the loss of her friend, she blamed Morrighan and grew to dislike the goddess.
  Some other stuff: She was taught about magic under Lassar. While in Tir Chonaill, she stayed at Piaras' inn, and thus, became friends with both Nora and Piaras. Duncan taught her about Erinn and Tir itself after she arrived.
  
  As a magic trainer:
  Like Tim, she gives tips on how to train magic skills based on rank and CP. Unlike Tim, however, she does this for all races.
  
  Ideals:
  When asked about the keyword, she responds, "I wonder why you would want to know something like that..."
  However, she doesn't tell you her ideal.
  
  Keywords and responses:
  Private Story
  "Like you, I'm a milletian, so I can relate to a lot of things you have to talk about."
  "I used to have a good friend from this town. I wonder where he is now..."
  Nearby Rumors
  "Lassar is a very nice teacher. She taught me everything I know, so pay her a visit if you have an interest in magic."
  Classes and Training
  "I like to teach about magic, so ask me about magic skills and I'll try to help."
  
  When talked to with some G1 keywords:
  "So, it's happening to you too? I'm sure you've heard warnings from Tarlach, but you should listen. Otherwise, the same thing will happen to you as it happened to me..."
  
  For anything else, she responds, "I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure what you mean..."

  Haru
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  
  

  [Image: http://puu.sh/5qy9]

  
  
  I wouldn't actually think to put Haru in the game as an NPC, but if he HAD to appear, this is how it would be, I guess.
  
  Name: Haru
  Currently posted in: Sometimes appears in the Forest of Souls for people who rebirthed with a card.
  Purpose: Kinda the same as Elatha, I suppose. Just to talk to xD
  Friends with (or was): Alissa, Duncan, Trefor, Dorren, Riku, Timaeuss, Heta, Shinku
  NPC's he doesn't like: None in particular
  
  NPC Intro Quote:
  His presence seems unreal, as if he weren't actually there. He seems happy, but at the same time, sad.
  
  Haru:
  "Ah...hello..."
  
  NPC Backstory:
  Haru had lived in Tir Chonaill for most of his life, working in the fields and with Alissa at the mill to make flour. He frequently talked with Duncan and Trefor. He began to become interested in alchemy and, a while after meeting Riku, went to Taillteann to learn more about it under Dorren. When he returned, he decided to help Riku, his dear friend, with her journey. Not much it known about what happened to him after that (actually, you'll just have to read future chapters of my fanfic when they come out MUAHAHA -cough-).

  "I'm not sure if you'd want to know...sorry..."
  "I'm not very close, but at least I can still watch over her."
  Nearby Rumors
  "This is the Forest of Souls, where Milletians come after rebirthing. Once you leave you can't come back unless you rebirth again. However, I can't leave this place at all."

  Hetaliano (Heta)
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  
  

  [Image: http://puu.sh/5qye]

  
  (Pretend like she's shorter...)
  
  Name: Heta
  Currently posted in: Right outside of Filia, next to Timaeuss
  Purpose: Ranged skill trainer
  Friends with: Castanea, Timaeuss (older brother), Haru, Riku, Shinku (older sister-in-law)
  NPC's she doesn't like: None in particular
  
  NPC Intro Quote:
  Despite her small stature and young age, she looks like someone with authority. Her facial expression is a bit of a glare. However, she gives off the idea that she is just trying to act tough.
  
  Heta:
  "What do you want?"
  
  NPC Backstory:
  Although she looked up to her older brother and wanted to specialize in melee as he did, she found that she was more suited for ranged attacks, like most elves. She usually followed her brother around, not knowing much better since she was so young. Castanea was usually the one to take care of her when Tim wasn't around, however. Later, she traveled to Uladh with Tim and Shinku, meeting Riku and Haru there. She was saddened when the group went their separate ways, but she, like her brother, decided to do what she could with her life after that.
  
  As a ranged skill trainer:
  Pretty much what the others do, but with ranged (and for all races, except giants of course).
  
  Keywords and responses:
  Private story
  "I'm Heta, and I teach people about ranged attacks. I'm just doing this because I have nothing better to do."
  "Maybe you should mind your own business. Hmph!"
  Nearby Rumors
  "If you need to know melee stuff, talk to my brother."
  Classes and Training
  "Talk to me about ranged skills and then I'll teach you something."
  
  Anything else, she responds, "How should I know?!"

  Amairgin
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]

  (pretend like he's holding a red mandolin ;o; )
  
  Name: Amairgin
  Currently posted in: various places in Uladh, like Price (sometimes appears on the boat that goes to Iria, however)
  Purpose: Traveling musician, sells score scrolls and music skill books. One of his options would be to play a song (at the cost of 20 gold).
  Friends with: Cessair (cousin)
  NPC's he doesn't like: Timaeuss
  Intimacy Items: Magic score scrolls
  
  NPC Intro Quote:
  Obviously a musician, he holds a mandolin in his arms, ready to play by request. There seems to be a bit of a carefree air about him.
  
  Amairgin:
  "Hey, there! Want me to play a song for you?"
  
  NPC Backstory:
  Amairgin grew up with his cousin in Tara and had a very ordinary childhood, but took up music at an early age. He also took up a bit of magic, but didn't go too far with it. Once he grew older, he decided to make money from being a traveling musician.

  Ok, here goes : D
  
  Pazu:
  [spoiler]

  [Image: http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l611/randomnezsz/NPC_1.jpg]

  
  Location: Travels around Shadow Realm, can be met during various missions (excluding Rath Castle ones)
  Purpose/Role: Sidequest character/provider and upgrades bows (after the sidequest).
  
  Even though he´s human, he can dual-wield axes and he´s always carrying pair of Franciscas with him.
  
  Friends: Berched, Collen, Belita, Nele
  Friend/Rival: Tracy
  Rivals: Lezarro, Craig
  Enemies: Padan
  Intimacy items: Beef, Bacon, Firewood(all types)
  
  NPC description: Young man stands before you. Taller than your average citizen, he looks at most humans from above. Even when he´s somewhat slim you can sense he uses those axes he´s carrying in battle ferociously.
  "...What are you doing in a place like this?"
  
  about giving him items[spoiler]
  -Giving him different types of weapons will result in different kind of dialogue. However he always gives the weapon back (with the exception for sidequest)
  -If you give him melee weapon he says "Sorry, I trust my axe when it goes to when it comes to close-quarters combat"
  -If you give him a wand he says "A wand? Well, I dont really use magic... I´m sure you have more use for it."
  -If you give him a cylinder he says "Huh? You want me to use this? But I dont know a thing about alchemy, haha."
  -If you give him a bow with 0 durability before clearing sidequest part 3 he will repair it to half the amount of its maximum durability and says "You´ve broke your bow? Let´s see... There, I´ve done what i can without my tools."
  -If you do the same after finishing the quest he´ll repair it to full dura and says "I owe ya one for getting my tools back... Here ya go."[/spoiler]
  
  Sidequests:
  [spoiler]
  As of now I dont know where to place this on the timeline...
  
  Part 1: After certain requirements i havent yet decided, you will receive a quest from Sinead. She explains that dangerous criminal is wandering in the Shadow Realm and that he must be captured. In the following Tara shadow mission Cai and Leymore will assist you. You will proceed to the square where you´ll meet Pazu for the first time. In the following cutscene Cai and Leymore will try to imprison him but Pazu knocks them down and escapes. After this you will have some yadda-yadda stuff with Sinead.
  
  Before clearing this quest you are not able to meet Pazu on your own; However if your party leader upon entering sm has cleared it you have a chance to meet him.
  
  Part 2: You receive an owl from Berched. He tells you to come to him to hear the truth about Pazu. When you talk to him he tells you little details about his past and how he refused to join the Royal Guard. After this he gives you "Berched´s Box" and asks you to deliver it to Pazu. Shadow mission will take place in the Shadow Abb Neagh and you will search for Pazu (much like the quest to find Elatha in g9). He recognises you to be the one who was with Cai and Leymore but still takes the box (which apparently contains food and other necessities) and thanks you.
  
  Part 3: This part does not come as a quest with owl before doing the following After raising your intimacy with Pazu give him a bow which has no upgrades and has more than 0 dura. You get the following dialogue: "A bow...It´s been ages since I held one. Now if I only had arrows..." Proceed by giving him a bundle of arrows (100) and get the following:
  
  "I had my suspicions of you but you aren´t that bad of a fella after all.
  ...
  May I ask you a small favour? *owl delivers a quest*
  I crafted and modified bows alot few years ago, and even when I rarely actually fought with them I knew kind a bit of them. However I left my tools behind when I left Calida Exploration Camp. I can´t do modifications without them.
  (Pazu takes a sheet of paper from his pocket and quickly writes something on it. He then hands the letter to you.)
  Could you deliver this to Belita at the Calida Exploration Camp?"
  
  When you deliver the letter to Belita she explains that she would give them to you is she had them but she lent them to Meles during her journey to Filia. She says that she will contact Meles and will inform you when she has answer from Meles. (This is because Meles is not giant-friendly as far as I´m aware of, if you can prove me otherwise it´ll be just "go meet with Meles", although this quests reward is kind of useless for giants, might need to think about it)
  
  It´ll take around one in game-day for owl from Belita to arrive. She explains that tools were lost during an attack of salamanders in the ant hell. Make your way to ant hell and kill one salamander and it will drop a treasure chest key. Open the key and it contains an "old toolbag" Bring this to Pazu and the quest is cleared. He will thank you and tells you to come to him if you ever need bow upgrades (he´ll have some better ones than usual npc´s)
  [/spoiler]
  
  Past:
  [spoiler]His past is not well known amongst most of the people in Erinn, but these is most of the notable thing in his past (might edit later).
  
  Pazu grew up in Emain Macha. However he left the city at young age to travel around the world. He ended up to work in the carpentry camp at dugald aisle. There he learnt how to wield axes and craft bows.
  
  After ending his work contract with Tracy he left to Iria and aided Belita in Calida exploration camp. Exact details are unknown but he once defeated black panthers who attacked the camp. This is how he gained reputation as skilled warrior.
  
  When the Shadow Realm conflict started political leaders tried to forcibly recruit him to the Royal Guard. He was born in the Aliech kingdom, after all. However he didnt want to fight in a war and escaped to Shadow Realm and is now labeled as a criminal who betrayed human race. He actually has befriended few fomors in the Shadow Realm but when it comes to the actual conflict he is neutral. Unlike Elatha, he can leave Shadow Realm anytime he wants but does so only to visit Berched from time to time.[/spoiler]
  couple of images so you get an idea how he fights
  [spoiler]

  [Image: http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l611/randomnezsz/NPC_1BATTLE_2.jpg]

  
  simply running while in battle mode (i know theyre going through his wrists q.q)

  NPC theme song: [video=youtube;9_SGYtUQpqs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_SGYtUQpqs[/video][/spoiler]
  
  I´ll be probably editing this a bit later and adding a few things (like responses to keywords) but im gonna submit it as it is now before my comp crashes or something and I lose everything :I also now that i got the simulator working I´ll be most likely doing many more NPC´s : D

  Here's my second NPC, woohoo.
  
  

  [Image: http://i51.tinypic.com/j7bxvs.png]

  
  Name: Hermes (He's not a Greek God, just his name)
  Location: Beach east of Fillia, where he set up a camp (with a couple Elf NPC's who do nothing)
  Purpose: Allows neutral allied players to take a boat between Fillia and near the beach of Muyu Desert's Bird Mark. He also sells magical items and gives out quests and skills.
  Store Items: Sells the basic wands most NPC's sell. When befriended, he sells Fairy wands and MP 10, 30, and 50 potions.
  Intimacy Items: Items off Iria's monsters and Handicraft Kits.
  Friends: Lassar, Ranald, Caitin, and Piaras.
  Enemies: Hagel
  
  NPC Quote:
  His Soapy green hair is hidden by his robe, which seems to keep him cold from the heat. His gesture makes him look official and strong while his expression makes him look wise. Everything shines under the sun, making him look like a god had descended.
  
  "...Your a Milletian no? Welcome to my minor Ship Sailing business, do you need a trip across the land of Iria?"
  
  NPC Backstory:
  He was a Iria-Born Milletian that was attacked by Ifrit multiple times. Hermes has the ability to read a monster's thought, and Ifrit thought it was a sport attacking Hermes. Atrata noticed this problem and became Hermes' teacher in magic. He became advanced in the Thunder Element. He came back for Ifrit and defeated him, using his powerful magical skills. He eventually settled down in the location he is now and set up a Camp Site. At first he sent goods from Connous to Qillia Base, but then Hagel came and ended the business. Elves eventually came to Hermes' camp site and decided to help him. They built a bigger boat, and created a transportation system for travelers to take.
  
  The Elves are most common to know who he is and have respect for him. Although Hagel always have a bad mood with him.
  
  Keywords:
  Private Story "Have you been to Tir Chonail and met someone named Lassar? You have? If you don't mind, could you send this box to her? It was something I... forgot. Send my regards!"
  Nearby Rumors "That Hagel, he's always a grumpy guy. But why..?"
  
  Skills:
  Talking to him with a Lightning-Type Wand, Rank 1 Thunderbolt, Rank 6+ Thunder, Rank 9+ Lightning Shield, and Rank Novice+ Spark will trigger a quest. Simply complete Karu Dungeon, and then Maiz to receive a new skill, Thunderspark. Thunderspark will let you electrocute a field of enemies and they will attack and move slower and take damage constantly.
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]RP QUEST:
  When you deliver the box to Lassar, she'll open the box and reveal a bouquet of flowers. She'll give a single rose to you for thanking you to bringing it. She'll also remember something about Hermes stopping by to help Lassar with something. Drop it at Ciar Dungeon and use it to enter a special 2-Person RP Quest that takes place a couple years back. The first person will play as Hermes and the second player will play as Lassar when they were 14.
  
  Hermes: Hmm, so this is Ciar?
  Lassar: Yep. Duncan asked me if I could take care of Golem, which appears to be in Ciar.
  Hermes: Alright then, let's just get this over with.
  
  The Dungeon is the same thing as Ciar Basic and the Boss Room will only have the Golem. Here are Hermes' and Lassar's skills.
  
  

  
  
  • Hermes
    
  • 1 Thunderbolt
    
  • 5 Thunder
    
  • F Icebolt
    
  • F Firebolt
    
  • 1 Magic Mastery
    
  • 4 Thunder Mastery
    
  • 9 Bolt Mastery

  • 8 Icebolt
    
  • 8 Firebolt
    
  • 8 Thunderbolt
    
  • 4 Magic Mastery
    
  • 5 Bolt Mastery
    

  
  
  When you reach Golem, a cutscene will appear.
  
  Hermes: T-That thing is HUGE!
  Lassar: N-N-Now... I think Duncan said something about M-m-magic against a Golem...
  Hermes: I think he said it was... strong? Or ineffective...
  Lassar: Whatever! Give it out all!
  
  Simply defeat the Golem and leave the dungeon. Talk to Hermes to receive some EXP and Gold.

  Pushing up his glasses, the dark blue-haired Human shuffles through dusty books of the library, mumbling calculations. Despite wearing a pink Alchemy suit and a folded Cylinder, the books he peruses through are those detailing the art of Magic.
  
  "Yes? (Coughs while staring with a vacant expression) Don't mind my voice or presence."
  
  [size="1"]I'll let the quotes describe his backstory.[/size]
  
  [spoiler]Personal Story -
  
  "Are you a servant?
  
  Yes, I have complaints about the dust and rats. Oh, and the various amounts of terrible, terrible music downstairs during the Samhain banquet! Especially the 'rolling' chants."
  
  "I don't believe it's quite correct to say I am a wielder of Alchemy and Magic, in that sense of the description. Rather, I research both schools of thought and practice in a goal to find efficient uses when utilizing both together.
  
  Who knows the untapped potential of doing so?"
  
  "(With a depressed face) My office is at the Alchemy Shop in the Emporium, unfortunately. I wish I have funding to move to this library, but the Royal Alchemists dislike my fascination with Magic and my dream, so I have no such support. Emporium's the only place left that is close to this castle, but the space rent is very expensive, so I had to open an Alchemy Shop with Heledd to fuel our living and research finances.
  
  That Eluned... Does all she care about is fashion all day so much that it ruins expeditions of knowledge?"
  
  Nearby Rumors -
  
  "Heledd, my research associate, has her own theory of Magic and Alchemy coexistence, believing the answers are hidden behind the fundamentals of Shock. To that end, she's been... 'bothering' Leymore with her own end to discover more behind that ancient Magic. So I've been told Jenna has wary eyes on Heledd, for whatever reasons that might be.
  
  (Blinks blankly)"
  
  "Am I aloof? Probably. Heledd and Stewart have told me I look scatterbrained at times. Whenever I visit Finola for business trips, I've even been told I look like I was under the influences of smoking White Herbs!
  
  But not to worry; when all one has in life is research, one could care less about how they appear... at first glance, at least, hahaha."
  
  

  [Image: http://i54.tinypic.com/2q384co.png]

  
  
  "Curious about Heledd, are you? Whatever you may be thinking, we're just childhood friends from Emain Macha, nothing more. And, believe it or not, she's the one who usually makes the mess and I have to clean up after her. The Alchemy Shop would be unacceptably messy if it wasn't for me cleaning up late at nights. I blame her lack of neatness on Lassar.
  
  Still...
  
  (Sighs) I trust her more than anybody. One day, our hard efforts will pay off and help Humans live a better future."[/spoiler]
  
  Preferred Gems: Ruby, Emerald (Might give out high-end Magic and Alchemy enchants for 5cm+ sizes, or more commonly, 10 Holy Water/Flame)
  
  [spoiler]Since RP quests seem to have love here:
  
  [spoiler]Keyword - Skills (after finishing G11) -
  
  "By the way, [Player Name], Heledd told me you have experiences with handling Shock, yes? She has taken quite an interest in you because of that, even so far as to give you an important piece of her research, A Study into the Amplification of Electricity and Voltage.
  
  She was so excited that she was getting one step closer to understanding Shock because of your agreement to help her, that she was absent from the shop and laboratory for quite some time! I guess you can say that is a relief on the household work I have to do, heheh.
  
  Oh! For what exactly happened to her, she was searching in the Shadow World for more clues to the Partholons and thus Shock. At the same time, I've been told she was also engaged in questioning lots of Royal Alchemists about the same matter.
  
  Quite a tale, indeed. But none of those events stood out as clearly as the one time where she found me in Tara Rath Castle and asked me to help her uncover some clues in a particular section of the Shadow World. What happened in there was...
  
  (Chuckles) My friend, you need to see it to believe it. (Hands the player a broken brush [The breakage seems to have been caused by high impact]) Just drop this at Tara Shadow World altar and you'll see."[/spoiler]
  
  [spoiler]RP Quest - How Scholars Resolve Arguments
  
  You'll be playing as Heledd (Human equipped with Cylinder/Tower Cylinder), actually. Erudito (Human equipped with Cylinder/Crown Ice Wand) is the second person that will accompany you, either by AI or 2nd player.

  [spoiler]Brief summary of RP -
  
  [size="1"]Just a nerfed Ghost of Partholon SM, but the end room is the treasure room with no boss.[/size]
  
  Heledd - "According to my calculations, this room should hold scriptures of Partholonian priests... (Finds a person dressed in a light blue Alchemist suit there, crouching next to a chest) Leymore?!"
  
  Leymore - "Could that be... Heledd? (Stands up and turns around) Erudito? Here to help me uncover some text?"
  
  Erudito - "We're actually here to look for some arti-"
  
  Heledd - "-chokes."
  
  Leymore - "(Blinks) ... Out of all the places in Uladh, you came here for... artichokes?"
  
  Erudito - "(Walks up to Heledd and whispers) What are you doing?"
  
  Heledd - "(Whispers back) I don't want him to see or steal my work."
  
  Erudito - "I don't think he cares enough about what you're working on to steal. As much as I disagree with Royal Alchemists, they're not the type of people to steal."
  
  Heledd - "(In an unsure voice and gaze at Leymore) I just want to rub it in Leymore's face."
  
  Erudito - "(Notices her tone) Is that all you really want to rub in his face?"
  
  Heledd - "(Glares at Erudito) I don't like him like that."
  
  Erudito - "Stop turning red then."
  
  Heledd - "Would you shut u-"
  
  Leymore - "Uh... (Talks over them) is everything okay?"
  
  Heledd - "No! (Lowers her voice) I mean, no."
  
  Erudito - "(Whispers to her again) Look, if you like him so much, why don't you tell him?"
  
  Heledd - "(Whispers back) Because of Jenna."
  
  Erudito - "They're not a couple."
  
  Heledd - "Then you're blind."
  
  Erudito - "How am I blind when I helped you get here?"
  
  Heledd - "Because you're... (Stutters) you're being a stupid idiot."
  
  Erudito - "... (Pushes Heledd towards Leymore)"
  
  Leymore - "Whoa... (Catches Heledd) Hey, why did he push you?"
  
  Heledd - "Oh... um... (Tries to look away and at Erudito, but he's scouring the treasure room away from their attention) No, I just tripped."
  
  Leymore - "Okay. Now would you mind telling me the real reason why you're here? Or is it really artichokes you're looking for?"
  
  Heledd - "(Hears Erudito make a sarcastic cough) Gold?"
  
  Leymore - "Gold? Is your shop doing that badly? I could help you out if you need."
  
  Heledd - "(Hears Erudito make another sarcastic cough) Possibly no..."
  
  Leymore - "I'm sorry I can't help you then."
  
  Heledd - "But it's nice that you care! (Hugs Leymore)"
  
  Leymore - "Um... it's no problem, Heledd."
  
  (Heledd's hands on Leymore's back was starting to get lower to his butt)
  
  Jenna - "STOP RIGHT THERE. (Jumps down from nowhere above and drop kicks Heledd in the face)"
  
  (Everybody stares at an unconscious, pwned Heledd on the floor. Her Fine Brush rolled out from underneath her, broken)
  
  [size="1"]RP SM ends here.[/size][/spoiler]
  
  [spoiler]When talking to Erudito after the RP quest is finished -
  
  "Seen the whole memory? Hahaha, I hope you had as much of a good laugh as I did out of that.
  
  I believe Heledd and Jenna are quite tolerable to each other now, for the time being. And Leymore... Well, he is none the wiser about what actually went on. I suppose that's best for him if he didn't know how Heledd feels about him.
  
  Regardless of what happened, please stop by Heledd any time you like to show her your progress on Shock. She will be delighted every time she sees you, as do I."
  
  Reward -
  300000 EXP
  27000 Gold[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
  
  Superb wall of text.

  If not, I probably have links to things you can use but let's just say it's not the "best" way to attain them. They work perfectly fine, though. xD

  who would your NPC be friends/rivals/enemies with? tracy, lmao. maybe pierrick, before he left.
  
  

  details.

  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]

  wayward mage that has been stripped of using all magic for disorderly conduct. sells wood boards and nails, things he's picked up after befriending tracy and having at the logging camp. used to wander uselessly without a destination before stumbling upon the active little camp, where adventurers would chop away and raise their strength.
  grumpy and upset half the time, sensitive to heat (and whines about it being too hot often). in storyline, he picks a fight with the player for killing raccoons in the area, but is easily killed with any sort of fire bolt magic.

  [/SPOILER]
  
  

  introduction.

  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]

  The jaded mage evoked a sense of admiration, something that had probably been regular for him long ago. As he stood now, he seemed disinterested in his surroundings as a whole. Brunette tendrils of hair fell to his shoulders, hastily scrabbled up into a short tail in the back. Lackluster eyes peered out from sloppy bangs, demanding to know the reason for the presence before them
