Cast

A character sheet is a pressure map for a person who is not finished becoming real.

This page will hold recurring PCs and NPCs for RPG Wednesday. Characters belong here when they appear often enough to become useful references instead of one-off recap details, including the stranger quinary figures now entering the campaign's orbit.

This surface exists because

people in play should stay legible after a single recap page is no longer enough.

Use this when

a character has recurring pressure, a stable voice, or visual references that should outlive one session.

What it can produce

character memory, portrait references, scene prompts, relationship notes, and future cast pages.

Why cast belongs here

The cast register protects recurring people from being diluted into recap chatter.

It helps the table decide when a figure has earned stable reference status and when a note should stay in sessions for now.

What exists now

The cast is starting to hold. Use the session log as the source of truth until specific characters recur enough to justify their own pages. Current likely candidates include 'l'n'd'r, Mr. BoonWAP, Slibbon Bap, Mr. BaneWAP, WAPboy, Honk Bazongas, Gravy Davis, and the new arrival Deskar Null.

What belongs here

Player characters, recurring NPCs, quinary figures, prophecy carriers, and references back into sessions. One-off appearances should stay in the recap until they start carrying narrative weight, touchy existence questions should be recorded as pressure rather than as cheap verdicts, and name-drift figures only belong here after the session log proves which version of them actually recurs. For one-person drafting and portrait-first development, start on the character-development page.

Recent Arrival

This is the kind of dense mobile-readable card the cast route should support: specific enough to roleplay, compact enough to scan, and structured enough to develop later.

>deskar_null Deskar Null Eternal trader, who can never give, or receive gifts.
available mentorship applicant local-first worldbuilding

“I travel the dimensions, bringing things people want from one to the next, eternally wandering.”

Origin and tradition

Raised in ancient Mesopotamia. He made a deal with Baal Mammon, god of wealth and desire, for an eternal life.

Party role

He makes deals, negotiates, and navigates through dimensions.

Voice and contradiction

Deskar notices what draws attention, quickly gauges desire, and has a persistent desire to make a deal, which can turn into overpersistence.

Private rule

He cannot give or receive gifts, nor can he steal or commit violence. He has to make deals for everything.

Next arc

Exploring a new potential market. Someone familiar with that space could teach him a lot.

Proof lane

Still open. Sessions need to show what Deskar trades, what he refuses, and how deal-logic changes the room.
