NPCs
If you have any NPCs that need to be linked to your player, let me know.
A PNPC is one you will play regularly. A secondary character.
If they're linked to you then only YOU can play them. If they are regular NPCs, anyone can play them.

Resignation
I am sorry to report that Karma Sinclair has resigned from the Calypso.
He's had RL concerns for several weeks now, and they're taking up a lot of his time. He does not feel that it's fair to the Calypso to be Xo and not have time to post.

Condolences go out to Karma Sinclair.
He is the new XO of the Calypso.... We wish him well.
