NPC INTERACTION REQUESTS
The city of San Benedicto is filled with colorful characters and helpful guides. Sometimes, characters will want or need to speak to those people. In the event that you find yourself in that position, use this post to request an interaction with said NPC!
There are several recurring NPCs who are available to be spoken to. These "big name" NPCs are listed below. However, if you need the assistance of, say, a minor NPC or group of NPCs that have not been named, you're welcome to request them, too.
It works as thus: fill out the form below. A mod will respond. You may either play out/summarize the interaction on this page, or, if you have a log or a network post you would like the NPC to respond to, you may direct us that way. (If a thread drags on for a long time, mods may contact you to summarize it to get you the closure and answers you need.)
Below are the recurring NPCs available for interactions:
MAYOR BRENDAN DESROCHESMayor Desroches has been in charge of the city for two years, ever since beating Mayor Karst in the most recent 2023 elections, wherein they were the only two candidates. He's taken a somewhat stricter stance with running the city, but he's efficient, if nothing else. He's very pro-Transformed, which is refreshing in a politician, isn't it? Even though he's entirely human himself.
Maka used to supervise the archaeological dig, but ever since the project lost funding, she's been working at the museum as a guide. She doesn't seem to remember people ever appearing mysteriously in the ruins... Does she? Everything's so fuzzy...
Hamish is the somewhat unusual man who owns the Canyon Historical Preservation Museum. He can give you background on any item found in the building, but he has a tendency to ramble. Especially if you mention the funding cuts... You don't want that earful.
The latest in the Afolabi line, Moses is the city's billionaire philanthropist benefactor. His family's name is on stadiums, schools, and streets all over San Benedicto. Whenever there's a humanitarian problem to tackle, Moses is there to help. Strangely, despite putting forth millions of dollars to fund the city's infrastructure, he refuses to fund the archaeological dig... That's not his concern. For whatever reason.
Jemimah "Jemma" Rhodes is an old-woman-turned-Air-Elemental who owns the Rhodes farm near the outskirts of the canyon. Aided by her son and grandson, she's nevertheless no shrinking violet, and never hesitates to speak her mind -- albeit politely, unless you deserve her ire.
A psychiatrist that was turned into a Mechanical, who fused with her office. She offers therapeutic sessions as well as prescribed medications.
Undergoing the same types of transformations as the PCs, about 10% of the canyon's 11 million person population have transformed so far. Every monster type has been represented by the natives in some way or another. They're generally treated as any other citizen, albeit with some accommodations for their unique traits. Traits that have always been a part of San Benedicto's history in some way or another. Right?
Human through and through, the untransformed citizens of San Benedicto have mixed feelings about their monstrous counterparts. Some are jealous. Some are fearful. Some are filled with lust. While monster-related discrimination is illegal on paper, that doesn't stop some areas from being far less welcoming to those with inhuman traits and abilities.
If you have another idea for an NPC encounter and don't see the proper NPC listed here, please just fill out their name/information in the form below, and we'll see what we can do!
