	An SPC is a Special Player character, and as such can have one of two main purposes.		\| colspan="4" align="left" \| An SPC is a Special Player character, and as such can have one of two main purposes.

	1. As a character regularly played by one player, either on their own ship or on another ship. As a general case, the player who created the SPC will be the one who writes for her/him, in the same way as a player writes for their PC. It is considered acceptable for someone else to write in a minor way for someone else's SPC; for example, Bree might go into Ten Forward at lunchtime and see Ro'Dal sitting at a table and join her. Now, as long as Sal hasn't posted Ro'Dal as doing anything else at that time or about that time (e.g. she's not on the Bridge or in a holodeck or sickbay or talking to someone or... well you get the picture!) then that would be acceptable. Connie has assumed that she's there but not that Ro'Dal is glad or sorry to see Bree or isn't about to leave or whatever. It's a reasonable assumption, if you like, that someone would be in Ten Forward at a mealtime. That would be OK. What would not be a reasonable assumption, to me, would be having Ro'Dal smile at Bree and say she was glad to see her. Or have her scowl at Bree and ask what she thought she was doing. That would be assuming a reaction and/or an emotion for Ro'Dal's player and for me that would be a step too far.		1.

	NPCs are just what the name says - Non-Player Characters and as such may, according to the rules, be written for by anyone in any way - even killed off. However, it is considered both good practice and good manners before doing something life-changing with an NPC to first ask the player who created them (especially if they are using that NPC regularly), and I would strongly encourage you all to adhere to that. Some people put a lot into creating an NPC, perhaps with a view to later using them as an SPC if the character works out, and we should all recognise that. NPCs, if written for by someone other than their original creator, should always adhere to behaviour and characteristics already established.

	Role Playing is the art of living another's life in a fantasy world. However, its very often true that we want to say something as ourselves, something that wouldn't fit in-game very well. So... there is a simple way around that. If you have a statement or announcement that isn't game related (or is, but not in-game), you put an NRPG (Non-role playing game) message in front of your statement, and when you intend to go back into game place a RPG before it.		\| colspan="4" align="left" \| Role Playing is the art of living another's life in a fantasy world.
