Major Characters

Although billions of creatures inhabit Orrin, only a very small portion of these beings are given names, lives, and stories that are told during the events of the various campaigns that take place in the world. Sometimes, these beings are directly controlled by the players, while others are controlled by the dungeon master, while still others are only mentioned briefly in passing. Regardless of how they exist in a campaign, any being that has a notable impact on the world is a character.

Characters are primarily broken into two categories: PCs (player characters) and NPCs (non-player characters), where PCs are created and controlled by the players in the story and NPCs are usually controlled by the dungeon master. While most PCs are exceptionally talented, powerful, and ambitious beings with a high potential to impact the world in some meaningful way, NPCs can vary from gods and kings to mundane characters that are only perceived by the party for a few moments during a session. While all NPCs continue to exist in the world while they are not interacting with the party, many NPCs are only used to fulfill an immediate story-telling role; still, these characters are living and breathing occupants of Orrin who will continue to go about their lives behind the scenes of more notable events. In some cases, PCs in one campaign may act as NPCs in another (such as Gorrn and Gnorbitt's roles as NPCs in The Delinquents campaign before acting as PCs in The Collective).

Trivia

 * While there are no characters that exist in Orrin taken from pre-existing media such as movies or television shows, quite a few NPCs are named after real-life individuals, usually musicians. Examples include Edward Palmer, who is named after Emerson, Lake & Palmer drummer Carl Palmer, and John Gerschwin, whose attitude and appearance is based off an old professor and who is named after the American composer George Gershwin.
 * Although the Delinquents campaign occurs before The Collective chronologically, Gorrn and Gnorbitt were actually PCs in the Collective campaign before being involved in the Delinquents.
