SARPY Awards: Best NPC of 2024

[Wes]

If you could choose one non-player character (who are written by a plot's GM) to award for being especially awesome and interesting during the last year, which non-player character would you nominate for an award? This could be an NPC who was inspiring, had a lot of action and appearances, or was fun to RP with.

Note: Multiple responses are okay, try not to duplicate characters though so there's one reply for each to vote on. Thank you!

I'm nominating Poppy. I know you see her a lot because I love her, but really she's amazing because:

• When things get tough and people are hurt, Poppy is always there to help. She answers every call.
• Poppy is an NPC who takes the time to listen to player characters thoughts for as long as they want to talk and is great for side JPs
• Poppy is a main face of the Resurgence NPC crew and welcomes new players to the ship (and also gives them their physical and backups)
• She never shies away from a tough mission and is happy to shoot as well as heal.
• She encourages other characters to have relationships, such as helping Hayden and Cassie when they needed her.
• I enjoy playing her and making cute artworks of her like this:

Thanks for your consideration and votes!

I'm nominating Hanako, too!

• Hanako works her behind off managing Star Army Personnel Command and as Imperial Premier
• She shows up in every event thread I can find time to put her in.
• She shows up in your character's orders thread!
• She's been a long-time face of the Star Army Community.

If you think Hanako has been an awesome NPC in 2024, why not give her a vote? Thanks for your consideration!

Just to give Poppy some competition.
Joto Heisho Setsunu Meiosei. The Lady of Death. She's the leader of the Angels of Death squad. She's been a Joto Heisho for many many years. She has the ability and skill to be an officer, but wants to remain enlisted so that she can relate better to the rank and file soldiers which are as she see it, the backbone of the Star Army. She's is a skilled cello player and wields a deadly spear.
