Characters in Elanthia can be divided into two categories: PCs (player characters) and (non-player characters).
PCs (also known as adventurers) are controlled by human players.
Most NPCs are simply part of the program, although some can be controlled by GameMasters. When an NPC is controlled by a GM, it is often referred to as a GMNPC.
From a role-playing point of view, the distinction between PCs and NPCs is artificial. Characters simply see each other as people and have no way of distinguishing between those that are controlled by players and those that aren't. However, some players use the term "adventurers" to refer to PCs in an IC manner.
