NPC? Can I register a companion?

[Jewtastic]

You can do so, however I dont know if you can spar with them. I know they wont be able to help you in any staff run sagas, or most player run sagas either. Also, as far as I remember they can not die to further your power Ie: Gohan could not kill his NPC to get SSJ, so if you have a power up that requires rage you can't kill them to achive that rage requirment.

To add onto Sir Ninja's response...

An NPC can not fight against PC's without their approval.

[Jewtastic]

All you would have to do is RP him. You dont need to do anything to get an NPC to follow you around. Also if you plan on using him alot in personal RPs I would suggest putting him in your vault but it isn't required.

[Jewtastic]

Toma would have to approve of the NPC being used in the fight. And I dont think you can spar with them to gain money seeing as that is used for PC vs PC interaction where as an NPC would just be a cheap way of earning some extra stats and zeni however I might be wrong.

NPCs will basically ONLY be used for story purposes, and will rarely affect the outcome of a fight. There, of course, is always the exception; such insances will include staff sagas or "war" type scenes.

You cannot spar with an NPC for rewards.

Nothing wrong with personal NPC's, like if you've been reading Reijin's RPs lately, his Saibaman would be considered an NPC, and a companion. The NPC's on the roster are basically important characters staff use or have set aside for people who are taking a break. They will be used for sagas or if say Vegeta had been set to NPC, likely he'll have allowed his alliance to RP him. So you can't have any kind of companion put up there, only actual characters or staff made NPCs go up there.

However, as everyone said, you can certainly have a NPC buddy. He/she will not gain you anything but personal RP experience. So no sparring or anything by yourself.

Oh, I thought sparing with your NPC was allowed just as long as you know you won't be expecting any rewards.

I don't nessecarily have an NPC. I control Burter, yea, but he's not MINE. Once we've got things set up on the new planet, he'll be a public NPC like Guru

Just throwing that out there. I do see your point, but wanted to make it clear

[Android-18]

Yeah you can spar, but don't do it in the spar board.

[Super Buu]

Pretty much what Reijin said. Remember that an NPC doesn't necessarily have to be a good guy. Most people create NPCs or such for a single quest, just as their bad guy/s. Never formally stated as an NPC, but pretty much the same thing.

But as for NPCs that will remain with your character through everything should go on your vault. I really need to bring back the bit about SB's nemesis, Zanshin.

There is no TP bonus for the NPC. Having it for story reasons. So he could use it in the cloning room, sure, but for the same TP everyone gets

[Burter Jr]

AN NPC IS STRICTLY FOR STORY PURPOSES. THEY WILL NEVER EFFECT ANYTHING REGARDING FIGHT RESULTS, TECHNIQUES, OR TRAINING POINTS

[Burter Jr]

Yea, you'd rp the fight with the clone. The TP is automaticlly added with the rest of the HQ bonus, each week

[Burter Jr]

Ah, okay, I had the upgrade mixed up

Yea, you can spar on your own, in the spar forum, and it'd be graded. Just specify that it's in the cloning room

[Burter Jr]

That's fine, so long as you understand, he's just there for story reasons. He doesn't effect fights results, or get you extra TPs

A way bit off the subject, but, I thought Kilah was a human from planet earth?

And where did Shi'kharath come from? Never heard of it in the series.

[Burter Jr]

He changed the race. He's still a non-transformer, and the appearance is the same, so we approved it
