Neighbor Non-Player Characters
In Maple City, Neighbors act as familiars. Technically they are NPCs but you may RP them with your Character(s). You can even RP one of your Neighbors visiting another person's neighborhood.
Neighbors will almost always be free and will be granted in various ways. When you get a Character that is making a new neighborhood you will get to pick 3 Neighbors from the available list (link to come). If you are adding a new Character to an existing neighborhood you can pick 1 new Neighbor. The only time this is not true is if a Neighbor is assigned to a premade Character.
Other ways to get Neighbors:
-When your Character visits another neighborhood one or two Neighbors may move. More information will be added later.
-Random events and games.
-Occasionally customs will be offered.
There are 2 types of Neighbors; Neighbors and Special Neighbors.
Neighbors are always free and can move into any neighborhood.
Special Neighbors are typically customs and cost Gaia gold. Unless I decide to give free custom slots. Special Neighbors will never move, unless it is from 1 neighborhood you own to a 2nd neighborhood you own.
Special Neighbors can be:
-Non-Human Collection Pets, I need the original colorist/artist permission. Unless you made the design.
-Non-Human Original Characters you created.
-If you have a Human collection pet or OC then he or she can be customed as a Character.
When a Neighbor moves out of your neighborhood into another person's neighborhood ownership of that Neighbor changes. When Neighbors move they will always write to one or all of your Characters in that neighborhood. This letter will include a farewell, possibly taken from in-game, as well as the name of their new neighborhood and a photo of the Neighbor that moved.
For a Neighbor to move a visit RP first needs to be completed. Once it is I will RnG between 1 and 2. 1 means there will be someone moving, 2 means no one will move. Again I'll RnG between 1 and 2. 1 means only 1 Neighbor will move, 2 means 2 Neighbors will move (one from each neighborhood). Then I'll make up a raffle style list of each neighborhood's Neighbors and RnG to see who moves.
Alternately, if a visit RP is intended in getting 1 or 2 specific Neighbors to move then let me know and he/she/they will be the only ones moving.
Special Neighbors, aka custom Neighbors made for a specific person (i.e. based on a collection pet) will only ever move by owner request.
There is unlimited storage for letters, photos, clothes, accessories, furniture and other items. So you will never have to toss, sell (for Maple City Bells) or give things away. Letters and photos given to a Character may not be tossed, given away or sold.
Your Character may give away, trade or sell (for Maple City Bells only) these things:
-Photos of that Character. (gift or trade only)
-Clothes and accessories.
-Furniture, wallpaper, flooring, stationary and other non-locked items.
-Tree and flower seeds, fruit, acorns, mushrooms and pine cones.
-Weeds, dandelions, dandelion puffs, rafflesia, white turnips, and other garbage.
-Keys, Whisp's lamp, bunny eggs, bunny foil, candy and other things for trade quests.
-Bugs and fish, paintings and gyroids.
Locked items:
-Trees and flowers are locked to the Character who planted them. So are red turnips*.
*red turnips become tradable after you pick them.
