The "Attached NPCs" area on the form can be used to list the family and friends of a persona. Usually it's a good idea to include their father and mother and any siblings they might have. In the Holds in particular, where the population is recovering from the effects of the Plagues and women are valued most for the children they can bear, families with three or more children are common and an only child is rare.

The same rules about choosing a logical name, age and rank for NPCs apply as for PCs. If you choose parents of high rank (for example, a Lord Holder or Weyrleader) you should be aware that you may be asked to change this before the persona can be approved.

To avoid confusion, NPCs cannot have the same name as other NPCs or PCs. If you would like to link an NPC to more than one persona (for example, if you have created a brother and sister as PCs and need them to share the same mother and father) you will be able to do this after submitting the persona form.

To do this, click on the "Add Connections" link in the box to the left of the profile of the PC to whom you'd like to add NPCs. You can then select the NPC's name from the drop-down box below the title "Link NPCs" and type in their relationship to the persona. A similar process can be used to link existing PCs to a persona, or to add existing pets to their profile. If the PC or NPC you are linking is not owned by you, you should check with the owner to make sure they're happy with the link!

To delete an NPC, simply check the box in the column to the right of the NPC table on the persona form (below the "X"). This will not delete the NPC altogether, but simply break the link between the NPC and the persona. You can always re-link them to the persona profile using the "Add Connections" page.
