[@RC3]Npc's are specifically called 'Non Player Character' 

[quote]A non-player character (NPC) is a video game character that is controlled by the game's artificial intelligence (AI) rather than by a gamer. Non-player characters serve a number of purposes in video games, including: As plot device: NPCs can be used to advance the storyline.[/quote]

I 'control' Rin as I am her player but she has no inner thought dialogue, and won't be a part of the overarching narrative for the most part doing her own thing. Cole is actively going to be a main stay in this roleplay and will have the spot light.

Just because I am a GM doesn't mean I am not a player. I am not in this to give everyone a free story and sit here like in dnd as a dm. I'm here to play a part in a story that is both of my creation, and the other players likewise it is also stated in the rule section that this will be a linear roleplay. If this troubles you for some reason you're free not to join. In that case [@Infichi] will revert to the shield hero I suppose, and the bow hero will be retconned into an npc.
