Okay, so in the course of roleplaying, a lot of NPCs are created, and, quite often, discarded. Sometimes, though, a player wants to use one more than once. This will hopefully be a place where you can look up a bit about some of the more important/recurring NPCs without having to comb through all the threads.
Exactly who is important enough to go here is up to you, but chances are that you won't need that random demon soldier your character impaled ever again.
Right now this place is pretty empty, but everyone can help fill up this list! Just add a comment with the necessary information, and I (or an admin, if I happen to die suddenly) will edit into this top post here for easy reference. (I will edit for consistency of style and grammar, but I promise you that I don't mean to offend by doing so.)
A good form to follow is this:
Name: [the NPC's name, if given]
Gender: [duh]
Element: [if applicable]
Role: [what the NPC did/does in the story]
Creator: [the member who first mentioned the character]
Status: [living or dead — dead NPCs need to be either named or at least kinda significant to be listed]
Other Info: [ex: Affiliation, race, age, some brief background]
I've put the code template at the bottom, if you want it, but you might not need to fill out all the categories.
Let's kick this party off with the first example that pops into my head!
______________________
Dragon-Essence Roleplays:
Section 1: Regular/Major NPCs: This is where the most major of the NPCs go. They may be particularly important to the plot or the characters, and are often played by one member just like a normal character. Should have a name (or alias) and a personality.
Name: Raurik
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 32
Role: A ruthless and experienced dragon hunter
Creator: Morty
Status: (Un)Dead
Other Info: Raurik is a dragon hunter who traded his life essence to an eldritch demon in exchange for supernatural abilities. He is highly resilient to both physical and magical damage, and can regenerate lost tissue rapidly. This doesn't stop the inexorable decay of his body, however. Eventually he will be consumed completely, allowing the elder demon who possesses him to access into this world.
Though nearly indestructible, Raurik's damage output is somewhat limited by his human form. Though given supernatural strength via his pact with the elder demon, his capacity to resist damage far outstrips his ability to cause it.
He is proficient in many forms of weaponry, including swords, crossbows, whips, and bolas..
While not himself capable of performing magic, Raurik is able to possess his opponents via the elder demon's influence, gaining access to all their stores of knowledge and quite possibly turning them into thralls. This only works at point blank range, however.
Name: Jet
Gender: Female
Element: Air
Role: Taranis' rival.
Creator: Awesomoman
Status: Living
Other Info: This Air fighter longs to win the tournament and won't let anyone stand in her way. She has a habit of taunting others with the pure intention of picking fights.
Name: Sonia
Gender: Female
Element: Air
Role: SPOILER!
Creator: Nohiki
Status: Alive
Other Info: Young air dragoness. Happy-go-lucky personality with optimistic frosting. Skills oriented on healing and relaxation, can't stand her own in any fight. Knows a bunch about physiotherapy.
Section 2: Recurring characters: These guys show up in more than one thread, or a significant amount of different times in a single thread. Might be future major NPCs. Tend to have at least a personality and/or a name.
Name: [Unnamed earth dragon]
Gender: Male
Role: You know, that arrogant earth dragon who once took a beating from Starlight and just can't let it go.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Other info: First appeared in BT, and later reappeared in LGB for a rematch. Still awfully full of himself.
Name: [Unnamed fire dragon]
Gender: Male
Role: Shya-tael's former apprentice
Creator: Kauria
Status: Living, crippled
Other info: This dragon was Shya-tael's first apprentice, but his training was interrupted when Corvus' disease swept the land. Although he fell ill during a sparring session, the cure came just in time to save his life. While he managed to recover enough to complete his warrior training, his right leg and ankle were damaged by the effects of the disease. He now sticks to tasks that require little physical exertion. Tells good stories.
Physical features: Has red eyes.
Name: Talye
Gender: Female
Element: Dark
Role: Metrus' cousin on his mother's side. Knows Deka. (DMC)
Creator: Kauria
Status: Undead
Other Info: While not technically alive, she does try to keep up the appearance of it to give herself a hidden advantage in battle. Her lifeless eyes are the giveaway, though. She's a support warrior with a specialization in transportation spells. The two varieties she can cast include a powerful but unreliable shadow portal, and a more accurate travel spell that relies on a prepared casting circle.
Name: Count/Lord Relun, "The Count"
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Role: "Collector" of dragons in Hallow/Hollow House.
Creator: darkdragon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Highly temperamental, he is a magic-caster who prizes his elemental hybrid "pet," Solas, greatly. Arrogant, uptight, and wealthy. Lives in the White Castle and commands many dragons and dragon hunters alike.
Name: Glacious
Gender: Male
Element: Ice
Role: He was one of the dragons that Starlight brought as backup in TD. Also appears in DMC.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Other Info: He's Frostif's mate. They had had a quartet of hatchlings before the disease hit, but were brought down to two when Starlight eventually found them to ask for help. By the time they got back the cure was circulating the winds but it was too late for one of their remaining hatchlings, the little female. Now they're left with their last and strongest male.
Name: Frostif
Gender: Female
Element: Ice
Role: She was one of the dragons that Starlight brought as backup in TD. Also appears in DMC.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Other Info: (see above)
Name: Silvermane
Gender: Male
Element: Fire
Role: An older dragon who lives within the Fire Fortress. Serves some role in organizing the military. (DMC)
Creator: Nohiki
Status: Alive
Section 3: Single-use characters: These characters appear only once or twice (or not at all) in the roleplay, but still have a name or are otherwise distinguished.
Name: Frost
Gender: Male
Element: Ice
Role: Sapphire's father
Creator: saphira
Status: Dead, but his soul is alive and well.
Other Info: His soul was placed inside Sapphire's necklace along with her mother's soul, and whenever Sapphire is having a hard time or needs them, their spirits flash out of the locket. They are transparent and others can see and hear them unless they only want to talk to Sapphire.
Name: Jewel
Gender: Female
Element: Water
Role: Sapphire's mother
Creator: saphira
Status: Dead, but her soul still lives.
Other Info: The same as Frost. They can appear together or alone.
Name: Dreadlord Velum'nier
Race: Dread'Vok
Gender: None
Element: True Darkness
Role: To annihilate Thoron and to infect humans or any other type of organic life in its path to use against the black dragon.
Creator: Zetherus
Status: Still alive
Other Info: This thing has no mercy or remorse for even its own brethren. It was forcibly pulled into the world of Dragonessence to finish off the god-slayer known as Thorondar. After being killed once already by the Reincarnate, it lost the scent of the giant dragon and is now rampaging through the alternate dimension, trying to make followers against the god slayer and his kin.
A human soldier that escaped from a city destroyed by the creature drew this as lookout for the other races should they ever encounter it:
Name: General "Wiremouth" Vergara
Gender: Male
Species: Dragon
Element: Earth/Dark
Age: 244 (DMC)
Role: A general in the dark clan army
Creator: Morty
Status: Living
Other Info: An extremely violent and draconian dark clan general. Though a halfbreed he earned his place in the dark clan army by being one of the most ruthless and efficient soldiers seen in the last four hundred years.
He is a large, muscular dragon with a reddish tan hide and large, sickle-like claws. A crest of spines runs down his neck to his tail. His wings are large and ragged. He has bloodshot eyes with red irises. Most notably however are the pair of heat-resistant steel jaws he has replaced his real teeth with. These vicious metal chompers are deadly sharp and if the loss of blood doesn't get you upon being bitten, the rust and septicemia will. Wiremouth is a very nasty guy and he won't hesitate to brutally *MURDERSLAUGHTER* anyone that stands in his way. Though mercilessly cutthroat he maintains a smooth, mirthful disposition and never, ever loses his cool. He is never more at home than when he is bathed from head to foot in blood in the middle of a battlefield. This is a dragon that depends almost as much on mind games and intimidation as he does on brute strength, of which he has plenty.
While he associates only with his dark clan heritage his moves center mostly around earth magic. Some favorite moves of his are sending a wave of earthen spikes speeding towards his opponent, encasing parts of his body in rock with large spikes jutting out to be used as weapons and self-defense (especially on his tail and forearms) and raising large chunks of rock from the ground and sending them hurtling towards his opponent with a powerful sweep of his tail. He can also detect metal in the earth's crust and if there is some close enough to the surface he will use this instead.
He gives no quarter and expects none in return.
Name: Zeus
Gender: Male
Element: Energy
Role: Leader/councilor of the Energy Clan
Creator: Awesomoman

Other Info: Large yellow dragon with an even larger ego. Lives in luxury in a castle designed by Gorn. Ultimately a bit of a coward.

______________________
Eternal Bonds / Banished Bonds:
(Pairs will be organized together by the importance of the more prominent bond.)
Section 1: Regular/Major NPCs:
Name: The Master
Gender: Male (greater demon)
Element: Dark (and possibly fire)
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Big Bad of Eternal Bonds
Creator: darkdragon
Status: Living
Other Info: The ruler who commands and controls the mysterious and powerful Dark Clan. He appears to others as a red-eyed, shadowy apparition seated on a throne of bones.
Little is known about the Master, only that he is a very old and very powerful demon. Over a thousand years old, he hides his true age with a concealment charm to make himself appear younger, though what it cannot hide is the unhealed wound on his left side given to him by Pyhrros Ferona a decade before the start of the roleplay.
He is not the Dark Clan's first Master, his predecessor having been the leader to seal the demon assassin Shadow into his centuries-long slumber. This Master, however, is due to be succeeded soon as well, and the deceitful and younger members of the Dark Council are eying the the future power vacuum hungrily.
That's not to say that the Master is weak, though, because his power is undoubted and virtually unchallenged. Among his own kind, he can inflict pain with a word, connect his mind with his servants', observe the movements of his clan anywhere at any time, and even sense and raise the spirits of the dead. When push comes to shove, he takes off his cloak, uncaps his power, and physically becomes his younger image, the years cleansed away by his UNLIMITED POWAHHH.
His dragon is Ragnarok (below).
Name: Ragnarok (technically not a major, but he should be with his bond here)
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Fire
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: The Master's dragon
Creator: darkdragon
Status: Unknown, presumed living
Other Info: Rarely summoned by the Master, Ragnarok is a massive fire dragon who spends his years in solitary slumber. His scales are black and scarlet, and he comes when called, impatient for battle after waiting so long. His rider is the Master (above).
Section 2: Recurring characters:
Name: Rama
Gender: Male (demon)
Element: Dark
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Night Hunter of the Dark Clan, stands in as captain of the Hunters at one point
Creator: Kauria
Status: Alive, some permanent injuries
Other Info: A senior member of the Night Hunters, Rama is a low-ranking pureblooded demon with little propensity for elemental magic. He has a wry sense of humor and a good understanding of younger demons. He was severely injured in an encounter with Rakka Mar, and while he still serves as a Hunter (mainly doing tracking), he is sometimes impeded by residual injuries to his spine and leg. Rama walks with a limp on painful days.
Thanks to his high rank, he has acquired several "converted" elven slaves to help out around his quarters. (Civilians who are of little value as soldiers, but whose dragons are still converted and sent into battle.)
His dragon is Lamya (below).
Name: Lamya
Gender: Female (dragon)
Element: Dark
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Night Hunter of the Dark Clan, stands in as captain of the Hunters at one point
Creator: Kauria
Status: Alive, some permanent injuries
Other Info: A senior member of the Night Hunters, Lamya is sarcastic, cynical, and critical of others, especially of anyone younger than herself. Enjoys making said others lose their tempers, but she herself gets frustrated when anybody disobeys orders. Rama tries hard to balance out her abrasive personality by being as cordial as possible. Severely injured in an encounter with Hydra, Rakka Mar's dragon, she bears multiple scars near the base of her neck and her throat. She loathes being cooped up and treated like an invalid, which has done nothing to improve her personality.
Her rider is Rama (above).
Name: Tinice
Gender: Female (elf)
Element: Air
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Scout for the rebel forces, one of Amber's assisting officers.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Wields nunchuks. Her dragon is Whispan (below).
Name: Whispan
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Air
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Scout dragon for the rebel forces.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: His rider is Tinice (above).
Name: Sern
Gender: Male (elf)
Element: Light (disguised as air)
Allegiance:Light Clan deserted — Rebels
Role: One of a few Light Clan refugees who made it safely to the Mountain Range Resistance's base.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: He is an archaeologist. His dragon is Bakuya (below).
Name: Bakuya
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Light (disguised as air)
Allegiance:Light Clan Rebels
Role: One of a few Light Clan refugees who made it safely to the Mountain Range Resistance's base.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: His rider is Sern (above).
Name: General Carnell
Gender: Male (elf)
Element: Earth

Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: His dragon is Rogan (below).

Gender: [Unknown] (dragon)
Element: Earth
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Rebel general, serves alongside Amber and Firen.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Rogan's rider is Carnell (above).
Section 3: Single-use characters:
Name: Missa
Gender: Female (elf)
Element: Earth
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Rebel medic, performs conversion checks on newcomers.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Conversion checks look for traces of the Dark Clan's potion in elves' minds and is performed with the aid of a glass disc flecked with silver and gold.
Name: Kamenwati
Gender: Male (elf/demon)
Element: Dark/Fire
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Captain of the Night Hunters, former infiltrator.
Creator: Kauria
Status: Living
Other Info: The son of a fire elf and a high-ranking pureblooded demon, he was raised in the Dark Clan's limited lands. However, his elven blood allowed him to bypass the weakening curse that barred demons from entering cities. So he went on to live in the heart of elven lands, simultaneously climbing the ranks of the Fire Clan and the Dark Clan, attaining a place on the council in Berneniel and command of the Hunters in Erewhon. On the council, he silenced suggestions that the fabled Dark Clan might exist, and he "removed" politicians who got in his way. His second duty to his home clan was to track down likely candidates for the Night Hunters and test them, which resulted in a fair bit of overlap between these tasks.
Very good at illusions.
(He is the Dark Clan recruiter who contacted Maela and Athvesa, ordered the deaths of Vaynir and his bond, and taught Maela the art of nonelemental illusions.)
Name: Rando
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Air
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Random air dragon recruited by Targus and Agate and Sid and Maruk to help enact a defense plan for the Mountain Range Resistance.
Creator: Awesomoman
Status: Dead, killed by Jack and Leucrocuta.
Name: Aris
Gender: Female (elf)
Element: [Unknown]
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: The only member of Team 9 to return to base after a disastrous attempt to rescue several Light Clan deserters.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: Died hours after her return due to injuries sustained during the rescue attempt.
Other Info: Her dragon was Sarpel (below).
Name: Sarpel
Gender: [Unknown] (dragon)
Element: [Unknown]
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Aris' dragon, covered her escape from the clearing so she could get word to the resistance.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: Dead
Other Info: Sarpel's rider was Aris (above).
Name: Tilyar
Gender: Male (demon)
Element: Air
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Cheery little demon in the 4th Division, acts as messenger.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Name: Admiral Soris Delaire
Gender: Female (demon)
Element: Dark?
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Admiral in the 4th Division. Declared General Amelia's death, since she was the only one Leucrocuta would allow near her rider.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Her dragon is Lolora (below).
Name: Admiral Lolora
Gender: Female (dragon)
Element: Dark?
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Admiral in the 4th Division.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Her rider is Soris (above).
Name: [Unnamed water elf] - referred to as The Scientist
Gender: Male (elf)
Element: Water
Allegiance:Rebels converted - Dark Clan
Role: Rebel doctor turned traitor by means of forced mental conversion.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: A senior scientist that had been working at the resistance hideout, he gave an appearance of being "modest, yet excited" about his research of demonic conversion methods. He was changed along with another rebel soldier on a medical supplies run. A month later, Amber, Targus and Agate discovered that he had been collaborating with the rebel forces' demon prisoners. When discovered, he launched a frantic attack, armed only with his handful of allies and a wand that sucks shadows in one end and shoots evil magic out the other. It failed, and he was interrogated by Amber. It is unlikely that he has a dragon companion, since unbonded elves are the Dark Clan's preferred infiltrators.
Name: Mourstone
Gender: [Unknown]
Element: [Unknown]
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Rebel under the command of General Carnell
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Name: Iztal
Gender: Male (dragon)

Some favorite moves of his are sending a wave of earthen spikes speeding towards his opponent, encasing parts of his body in rock with large spikes jutting out to be used as weapons and self-defense (especially on his tail and forearms) and raising large chunks of rock from the ground and sending them hurtling towards his opponent with a powerful sweep of his tail. He can also detect metal in the earth's crust and if there is some close enough to the surface he will use this instead.
He gives no quarter and expects none in return.

Eternal Bonds / Banished Bonds:
(Pairs will be organized together by the importance of the more prominent bond.)
Section 1: Regular/Major NPCs:
Name: The Master
Gender: Male (greater demon)
Element: Dark (and possibly fire)
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Big Bad of Eternal Bonds
Creator: darkdragon
Status: Living
Other Info: The ruler who commands and controls the mysterious and powerful Dark Clan. He appears to others as a red-eyed, shadowy apparition seated on a throne of bones.
Little is known about the Master, only that he is a very old and very powerful demon. Over a thousand years old, he hides his true age with a concealment charm to make himself appear younger, though what it cannot hide is the unhealed wound on his left side given to him by Pyhrros Ferona a decade before the start of the roleplay.
He is not the Dark Clan's first Master, his predecessor having been the leader to seal the demon assassin Shadow into his centuries-long slumber. This Master, however, is due to be succeeded soon as well, and the deceitful and younger members of the Dark Council are eying the the future power vacuum hungrily.
That's not to say that the Master is weak, though, because his power is undoubted and virtually unchallenged. Among his own kind, he can inflict pain with a word, connect his mind with his servants', observe the movements of his clan anywhere at any time, and even sense and raise the spirits of the dead. When push comes to shove, he takes off his cloak, uncaps his power, and physically becomes his younger image, the years cleansed away by his UNLIMITED POWAHHH.
His dragon is Ragnarok (below).
Name: Ragnarok (technically not a major, but he should be with his bond here)
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Fire
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: The Master's dragon
Creator: darkdragon
Status: Unknown, presumed living
Other Info: Rarely summoned by the Master, Ragnarok is a massive fire dragon who spends his years in solitary slumber. His scales are black and scarlet, and he comes when called, impatient for battle after waiting so long. His rider is the Master (above).
Section 2: Recurring characters:
Name: Rama
Gender: Male (demon)
Element: Dark
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Night Hunter of the Dark Clan, stands in as captain of the Hunters at one point
Creator: Kauria
Status: Alive, some permanent injuries
Other Info: A senior member of the Night Hunters, Rama is a low-ranking pureblooded demon with little propensity for elemental magic. He has a wry sense of humor and a good understanding of younger demons. He was severely injured in an encounter with Rakka Mar, and while he still serves as a Hunter (mainly doing tracking), he is sometimes impeded by residual injuries to his spine and leg. Rama walks with a limp on painful days.
Thanks to his high rank, he has acquired several "converted" elven slaves to help out around his quarters. (Civilians who are of little value as soldiers, but whose dragons are still converted and sent into battle.)
His dragon is Lamya (below).
Name: Lamya
Gender: Female (dragon)
Element: Dark
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Night Hunter of the Dark Clan, stands in as captain of the Hunters at one point
Creator: Kauria
Status: Alive, some permanent injuries
Other Info: A senior member of the Night Hunters, Lamya is sarcastic, cynical, and critical of others, especially of anyone younger than herself. Enjoys making said others lose their tempers, but she herself gets frustrated when anybody disobeys orders. Rama tries hard to balance out her abrasive personality by being as cordial as possible. Severely injured in an encounter with Hydra, Rakka Mar's dragon, she bears multiple scars near the base of her neck and her throat. She loathes being cooped up and treated like an invalid, which has done nothing to improve her personality.
Her rider is Rama (above).

Section 3: Single-use characters:
Name: Missa
Gender: Female (elf)
Element: Earth
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Rebel medic, performs conversion checks on newcomers.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Conversion checks look for traces of the Dark Clan's potion in elves' minds and is performed with the aid of a glass disc flecked with silver and gold.
Name: Kamenwati
Gender: Male (elf/demon)
Element: Dark/Fire
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Captain of the Night Hunters, former infiltrator.
Creator: Kauria
Status: Living
Other Info: The son of a fire elf and a high-ranking pureblooded demon, he was raised in the Dark Clan's limited lands. However, his elven blood allowed him to bypass the weakening curse that barred demons from entering cities. So he went on to live in the heart of elven lands, simultaneously climbing the ranks of the Fire Clan and the Dark Clan, attaining a place on the council in Berneniel and command of the Hunters in Erewhon. On the council, he silenced suggestions that the fabled Dark Clan might exist, and he "removed" politicians who got in his way. His second duty to his home clan was to track down likely candidates for the Night Hunters and test them, which resulted in a fair bit of overlap between these tasks.
Very good at illusions.
(He is the Dark Clan recruiter who contacted Maela and Athvesa, ordered the deaths of Vaynir and his bond, and taught Maela the art of nonelemental illusions.)
Name: Rando
Gender: Male (dragon)
Element: Air
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Random air dragon recruited by Targus and Agate and Sid and Maruk to help enact a defense plan for the Mountain Range Resistance.

Name: Sarpel
Gender: [Unknown] (dragon)
Element: [Unknown]
Allegiance: Rebels
Role: Aris' dragon, covered her escape from the clearing so she could get word to the resistance.
Creator: MidnightMoon

Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Admiral in the 4th Division. Declared General Amelia's death, since she was the only one Leucrocuta would allow near her rider.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Her dragon is Lolora (below).
Name: Admiral Lolora
Gender: Female (dragon)
Element: Dark?
Allegiance: Dark Clan
Role: Admiral in the 4th Division.
Creator: Morty
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: Her rider is Soris (above).
Name: [Unnamed water elf] - referred to as The Scientist
Gender: Male (elf)
Element: Water
Allegiance:
Role: Rebel doctor turned traitor by means of forced mental conversion.
Creator: MidnightMoon
Status: [Unknown]
Other Info: A senior scientist that had been working at the resistance hideout, he gave an appearance of being "modest, yet excited" about his research of demonic conversion methods. He was changed along with another rebel soldier on a medical supplies run. A month later, Amber, Targus and Agate discovered that he had been collaborating with the rebel forces' demon prisoners. When discovered, he launched a frantic attack, armed only with his handful of allies and a wand that sucks shadows in one end and shoots evil magic out the other. It failed, and he was interrogated by Amber. It is unlikely that he has a dragon companion, since unbonded elves are the Dark Clan's preferred infiltrators.
