Displacement & Redistribution Guide

Welcome to the PKMN-WOE [D&R] Displacement & Redistribution Guide!

 This guide is intended to give our members knowledge on how to convert your Playable Character (PC) into a Non-Playable Character (NPC) and vice versa.

This mechanic has been introduced to allow members, and moderators, to be able to turn their tenant from Playable Character (PC) into a non-playable character (NPC) and vice versa. It allows players to "NPC" a character they may not vibe with, but do not wish to kill.

This mechanic will not be for everyone with its intended use and has been made available to be more of a pause on character progression. We plan this to work as a way for members to freely explore characters stories without the looming approach of reaching Ascension.  This would exempt the character from an activity check as a result, all EXP would go to the void as if they were capped, and all Ranking for the character would halt and cease.

The item has taken the form and is known as the D&R Token. This can be found in Willow's Shop!

We have discussed this to come up with rules and limitations so this new system cannot be easily exploited. They are as follows:

1. A player is allowed a maximum of up to 5 NPC Tenants at any given time. If you have reached your maximum and wish to NPC another tenant, one must return to playable status.

2. A player must have 1 PC (Playable Character) at all times. The order will not be processed if they do not have this.

3. The NPC tenant will be frozen in time. No Ranking rewards, or EXP can be gained while NPC’d.

4. They will be allowed to keep their jobs. If your tenant is in a Rank 8 job, it will still count towards you 1 per job limit.

   • If a MOD NPC in a lead position is made playable (both Past or Present), that NPC will lose their lead position. A new NPC will be made by the current team to replace them.

   • The items needed to create the character must be purchased, or they will be awarded and will be [unredeemable] upon death.

   • Their history within the group can be made canon or can be made non-canon.

5. MAKE SURE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THE RANK THEY ARE FROZEN AT. If at the correct rank, the character will be able to explore the proper areas (Forest, Basement, etc.) If at the correct rank, the character will be able to mega, perma-mega, and similar elements. These design changes will have to be run through your ticket like before.

6. NO REVIVAL HERBS. While the character is a NPC, they will no longer need use up their item "Revival Herb" to be brought back from a death. Mechanically, no herbs will be removed, but canonically the characters will assume they are using them. If you wish to perma-kill a character while they are NPC status, you will have to state this in the death piece's submission. 

7. The character will have a month cooldown before they can be made playable again or turned into an NPC again.

8. Inventory items, room upgrades, and pets can be kept, moved, and/or reorganized.

9. You can do this as many times as you wish with a character.
