Characters in Elanthia can be divided into two categories: PCs (player characters) and NPCs (non-player characters).
PCs (also known as adventurers) are controlled by human players.
Most NPCs are simply part of the program, although many can be controlled by GameMasters. When an NPC is controlled by a GM, it is often referred to as a GMNPC.
