Players are allowed to purchase NPC characters! These characters can be canon "members" of the site right alongside your character, and can have their own colourful backstory. They can fill gaps for squads, family members, servants for noble families, or even slaves or minions of an evil character!

When purchasing a NPC, you are buying a base model. Each rank’s base model comes with a few different things. Please see the chart below to see what your base model would be. You may always buy a lower ranked NPC and build their story right beside your own character, and rank up through upgrades. Or, you may opt to wait for a later rank to buy a higher ranked base model.

Players are able to buy stats to further boost their NPC’s power! Spells are learned through the normal method, though the NPC will not need to have spell points in order to learn spells but must pay by gold. Perks can be gained upon ranking up that NPC. Magic Specialty Perks for your magic type will still be free and will not count towards the NPC’s total pool!

Players often wish to go on challenges that push their characters to their limit. They are able to use their NPCs in missions and threads in any way they see fit. If you have a mentor NPC you may go on a mission higher than you as long as the npc is of rank. You may only bring two NPCs on missions.

NPCs are great at aiding in adventures throughout a dungeon. Perhaps you’ve got a small group gathered, but really need some more fire power or extra heals. NPCs can fill these gaps. Their cut of the dungeon will just go towards your main character! You may only bring two NPCs on dungeons.

Players in squads will be able to make NPCs from said squad. These NPCs will not gain gold stars, but will be considered in the squad in any rank the player wishes that is below their current own standing. The same can be said for those in organizations or other groups outside of the Magic Knight system. While these NPCs numbers are not formally tracked, they will be considered full fledged members of these groups.

[break][break]

If the squad or organization is in a plot related event, then these NPCs can be used! For Captain and Vice Captain requirements to thread with other squad members, these NPCs do not count. You may only bring two NPCs to events, though each event is subject to change.

Are you the noble that grew up without ever having to lift a finger because you had a maid? How about a lovable butler that you liked to boss around all day. What about a family member that you still are rather close to? NPCs can make excellent servants and family members for smaller noble houses. If these NPCs are slaves, than you will not be looked favorably with the law.
