What Type of 'NPC' Are You?

1. You are standing on a street corner in a video game. What is your idle animation?

• Sweeping the floor infinitely.
• Staring at my hands and sighing heavily.
• Waving enthusiastically at anyone who walks by.
• Leaning against a wall, flipping a coin, looking cool.

2. A Main Character (Player) approaches you and presses 'Talk'. You say...

• 'Nice day for fishing, ain't it?' (Generic greeting).
• 'I used to be an adventurer like you...' (Trauma dump).
• 'Hey! Press the A button to jump!' (Unsolicited advice).
• 'If you have coin, I have wares.' (Trying to hustle them).

3. What kind of side quest would you give the hero?

• Please fetch me 10 apples from the forest.

5. What happens when the Player bumps into you on the street?

• I clip through the wall and get stuck.
• I drop my groceries and start crying.

6. You discover you are living in a simulation. Your reaction:

• Okay. Does this mean I don't have to pay taxes?

7. What is your main stat?
