Which, by the way, I think to be silly and implausible/impossible. How is an outsider (someone who's alive) to know what's happening in the spiritworld(/afterlife)? Frig, the rest of Cameron's cult would (literally) kill for that ability. If you ask me, no one can know anything about the afterlife (and by extension, anyone or anything in it) until they're actually there, at which point they can't return to life. Being part of some super-cosmic race can't grant you that ability as it would kind of violate the premise of the RP (don't ask me to describe what I meant by that, I can't describe it).we may be able to encounter the 'narrator' as a NPC in the world of the living.
... There is actually a way to reach the world of the living, except you're still a ghost and thus will most likely be regarded with fear, as the ethereal-ness cannot be removed and you'll most likely be regarded with fear and some methods also risk psychological effects (*stares at the Fallen Father*)He hasn't actually created an npc, just

explain how exactly this narrator is narrating. Who is he narrating to? How does he know what's happening in order to narrate it?If I'm not mistaken, people in the after life can sometimes go into the physical world as ghosts, and as I stated, the 'narrator' can be found in the physical world if we go far enough into the future with the RP.
Though I guess I was a little vague about how far into the future the RP would have to go; I'd say about two or free decades at least.
I also didn't say that I would be playing this NPC just that he'd be there and that he is narrating for my character(s) in this RP sometime further in the future.
I think it's in the same way Dipper from Gravity Falls narrated the first episode. (Unless it turns out he was telling this story to someone, which knowing the show would... Not be that surprising, actually.) He was never telling the story to anyone at all, and in the actual roleplay never even thought of it.explain how exactly this narrator is narrating. Who is he narrating to? How does he know what's happening in order to narrate it?
These are the things I'm worried about.
Narrators exist (figuratively) to explain to an audience what is happening. Very rarely do narrators actually physically appear. On the occasion that they do, it's only to, say, narrate a scene that just happened in a movie. If the narrator did become an NPC, what would his purpose be? To narrate? He'd have been doing that the entire RP. The only thing that would do is break the fourth wall. Which is bad.
It seems far too convoluted and pointless for me to be on board with it. I'm perfectly fine with a narrative writing style (hell, that's what I'm doing), but having a narrator NPC just doesn't fit or make sense.put simply, someone from the after life encounters the 'narrator', ends up telling them something of their travels, and when the 'narrator' and who ever meets the 'narrator' part ways, the 'narrator' stops narrating (because he will not know what happens after). Who he may be narrating too... could be anyone in his world.
Chances are, I'll be playing that 'someone', though others are welcome to come if they choose.
Actually...That does sound pretty interesting. And also like it'd be fun to portray. Win-Win!Catco, for goodness sake why not play a boy with some mental disease that makes himself THINK he's this dragon dude
it'd be super interesting for sure
'Doesn't?'Actually...That doesn't sound pretty interesting. And also like it'd be fun to portray. Win-Win!
Oops. Fixed, thanks <3'Doesn't?'
EDIT: And if he thinks he's a dragon, then there's actually the possibility that he'll gain the power to shapeshift into one. That's not happening anytime soon, though, so if this ends up going through... Yeah. It certainly would be interesting.

I'm more willing to play as a non-human
Please don't take out of context quotes.I'm already a human in real life and I think I get enough of being human just from that, thanks.
Besides, I think it's more interesting to have non-human characters, and I'm more willing to play as a non-human than to go the easy way.
