NPC Name - Theme: Morgan and Marin - Sailor Tour Guide Twins!
Short description: The twins are your friendly tour guides to guide you on a place you want to explore and know about. Their specialty is to guide you in islands, beaches, and shores! If you ask them the location of the place you're going, they'll gladly guide you and along the way, they'll state facts and stories about the locations. 

But do not always trust them on touring you though. Rumor has it that they sometimes guide people to a wrong and unfamiliar location and they end up stranded and lost.

Other than that, both of them are like two peas in a pod and both are on sync on both movement and speaking.

NPC Name - Theme: Rhys - Guide/Filer

 Short description: 

Rhys is a fun guy, his usual kind and easy-going attitude makes him someone approachable for others. He usually focuses on educating young sea terros how to live life on the surface and non-naughts about how their lives work, so most people come to him for tips and questions. Though his job is more like a filer, he loves doing favors. Most often wonder how he’s so good at things that aren’t supposed to be his specialty. 

Despite his friendly behavior however, he doesn’t have an exact moral compass and does whatever pops into his head most of the time, making him more dangerous than most would assume at a glance.

NPC Name - Theme: Yuko (Deep sea sadness/mystery??)

Short description: Many associate the deep sea as a place of terror and fear, for the darkness hides the unknown. For Yuko, however, the trenches provide security and comfort; in a place where the ocean lacks light, she releases her emotions where no one can watch. As an emotional person, Yuko feels the need to conceal her feelings because they are viewed as a weakness and a waste of time. Afterall, what does a monster have to fear? On the outside and around others, she appears happy and content, but only the depths of the oceans know what lies beneath the facade. Otherwise, Yuko enjoys her time in solitude and passes her time contemplating her life and the world around her. She explores the sea, shores and coasts, and occasionally land searching for unique gadgets items for her home. As an inquisitive and adventurous spirit, traveling brings her the most comfort.

This doesn’t mean she doesn’t work on land, either; she has the mysterious passion for the unknown nagging at her chest constantly.

npc name: Peter griffnaut (experiment GU1)

short description: a man made naut, made to entertain. although, it seems to all go wrong… when the experiment escapes, going on a killing spree as a “day of reckoning” everhone changes their minds. he is not the one to make us laugh and cry. he’s everything wrong. it seems today, that all he does is commit acts of violence and do unspeakable actions on tv. his dream is to become an actor. he has no tolerance for scientists or humans. he constantly mentions the names “brian” “lois” “stewie” “meg” and “chris”. perhaps these are other subjects, forced through the same torture he was? we may never know. he’s not open to questions, and does not speak english very well. he communicates in a seemingly made up language of grunts and growls. we may never understand him. https://m.imgur.com/a/13uv4QJ

NPC Name - Theme: Nova - Fashionista/Shopkeeper (color and upgrade stuff? maybe?)

Short description: Nova is a very charismatic shopkeeper. However she’s not afraid to tell you that what you’re wearing is rather- questionable, to say the least. She will do everything within her power to ensure that every dreadnaut looks and feels marvelous! 

(insert that glow-up/makeover scene every romcom seems to have here)

NPC Name - Theme: Myca the Rental Strength!

Short description: Myca has always been strong, both physically and emotionally. Working out is something she does more than often but it's definitely not her favorite pastime. She tends to be aggressive and rough around the edges, even after you get to know her, but deep inside she is very much a girly girl. She doesn't have a set job and works for hire, doing random gigs that need someone strong or overall a bit intimidating. This ranges from security to small things like helping people move. I personally see her being a bouncer at a club or casino like setting.

NPC Name - Koikoi  Theme: Wish-granting Priestess

Short description: What does your heart desire? The game-loving Dreadnaut priestess, who tends to a shrine located in the deepest part of the Shinano River (信濃川), will grant you one wish if you manage to beat her in a game of her choice. Best of luck to those who attempt to try - her cunning wit and perfect bluffs are not easily bested. 

Koikoi is a priestess of the deep sea. She preserves the ancient nautical legends of old, with the firm belief that the all things come from, and will eventually return to the sea. She doesn't understand why many Dreadnauts want to integrate with humans, and any chance meeting with her will eventually result in her attempting to convince you to return to the sea. That being said, human games are irresistible to her. It's a piece of the surface that she brings back to the depths.

Psst - word is, she likes to host giveaways to entice new playmates!

NPC Name - Theme: Avery (Dr. Avery), Researcher/Facility tour guide

Short description: Avery is an extremely energetic person, almost constantly moving even when apparently standing still. Though she can be very overbearing and a lot to handle, she means well and genuinely wants to best for anyone and everyone under her care. She's rather clumsy, and so has mostly been delegated to running tours of the facility, of which there are very few, if any at all, though she doesn't appear to have noticed at all.

NPC Name - Theme: Delphine - Performer, Mascot (?)
Short description: The star performer of the world-renowned ████████ Aquarium, founded by and catered for non-dreadnauts, and supposedly a “rival” against SHELL’s own star, Yuppy (they’re actually pretty chill around one another, it’s just the companies themselves involved in the competition). Her theatrical talents are countless, from acting, ballet, acrobatics, and many more; if it can be named, then it can be done. She is the epitome of the dreadnaut’s true capabilities and potential when put into the hands of land-dwellers…but at what cost?

NPC Name - Theme: Genesis - Employment Agency Director 

Short description: 

Genesis is an eccentric and fun-loving director who ends up spending more time at the beach than doing her job- Though she says it's in case she finds a recently surfaced naut! As someone who manages an employment agency, she has a special under-the-table program for dreadnauts like herself to get accustomed to land life- From language classes, to customs lessons, etiquette, basic life, and more! 

While she's generous and gives discounts (or lessons 'on your tab'), be wary since she isn't afraid to constantly bother people for connections or networking sake! While she has short term memory for the "less important things" to her and often misplaces things, she remembers very impactful or important things for a long time. She journals a lot to make sure to not forget anything!

NPC Name - Theme: Dr. Snek - Undercover Spy/Informant

Short description: Dr. Snek is your average government assigned marine biologist who loves animals, sleep, and long walks along the beach. They also love keeping secrets, just like how they keep Dreadnaut's existence from the government. Yes, although Snek works as a marine biologist, their main occupation is keeping risky secrets from ending up in government hands! And thus extracting and covering up information through any means necessary.

NPC Name - Theme: Trench | Rebel / Assassin / Just a generally shady guy

Short description: 
In sharp contrast to Dreadnauts who try to form peace between land and sea, Trench strives to prevent his fellow Nauts from putting their trust in the creatures of the land. Why, you ask? Perhaps it has something to do with the many bandages on his body, or the fact that he especially hates scientists and doctors, especially ALTUM Labs... 

His personality is serious and blank-faced, but he's very good with children, and has a soft spot for them. When encountering a scientist or doctor, especially one that experiments on Nauts, he gets a vengeful glint to his eye and does anything in his power to get revenge, brandishing his sword as sharp as his cold eyes.

NPC Name -  DJ 0CT0/Phanta - A peacemaker DJ who runs the club "Calamariana's Trench!"

Short description: A DJ who is always looking at the bright side of things! The club he plays at, he owns! It's free to enter for nauts and land dwellers alike. His mentality is "good vibes only" and he seems as laid back and chill as ever at every moment. He makes sure everyone's safe, comfortable and having a good time! He makes his own music and hopes it'll quell those who have rage in their hearts. Phanta prefers to use his stage name instead of his real name, mostly because he has some bad memories when it comes to his name, but that doesn't stop him from jamming out 24/7!
