Player Characters

A played character or PC is a character who 'belongs' to one particular person to write. RP etiquette holds that one person may not dictate the actions or speech of another player's PCs without express permission. Controlling another person's character may be called god-moding or power-playing.

In contrast, StC, like many other RPGs, also has non-player characters (NPCs) who may be used and controlled by any player in order to add more information and depth to their posts

Played characters on StC include John Vickery (played by Sharpie) and Jonathan Padstowe, played by Latin-cat.
