There are a handful of recently dead NPCs listed here. Some of them are pre-defined and serve specific roles in the story, and other have been left ambiguous and left open for communal development. All of these NPCs, pre-defined or otherwise, were prominent and well-known members of their communities. Characters should have relationships and opinions about each recently deceased NPC at their community.
If you'd like to claim an undefined NPC as a close connection of your PC, you can feel free to discuss that here before holds open. These connections should also be denoted in your holds.
Once I begin accepting apps, I'll unlock the NPC post so people can post summaries of their characters' relationships to existing NPCs, which you are also free to discuss here.
After game start, players will also be allowed to submit profiles for NPCs who current living members of the communities. This isn't mandatory for every NPC mentioned, but if a character is prominent or interconnected amongst a few player characters they should be submitted for easy reference.
