NPCs Explained-K.K. Slider, Lorelei & Slippy

So, my last post talked about NPCs and how they work in Project: New Horizons. Some NPCs work a little differently than others, one of them being K.K. Slider. So, going by my last explanation of NPCs, does that mean there are multiple K.K. Sliders, an artist who simply takes on a role name title but it isn't there real name? Nope, there is the one and only. So how do I explain K.K. visiting multiple different islands at once at the same time? Easy, new NPCs.

Yep, K.K. Slider now has a label with his name and has multiple artist under that label who go around visiting islands. No, he did not sell out to the fat cats who only want to put a profit on his music, it's still free man. Since it's impossible for K.K. to be able to visit multiple different islands at once, what with time traveling islands, islands set in real time and different timezones (all of which are headcanons I will explain), he now has other artist visit the island in his place. These artist still perform his songs so you can get an aircheck version. And since I have OC NPC artist, why not add a little more creativity? At the shows, you can request a K.K. song, leave it up to mood, let them decide OR hear an original song by that artist. Yup, just like K.K., these artist have their own songs. While their library is not as expansive as K.K.s there are about 5 different songs that you can listen to and receive an aircheck to play on the music player.

In PNH I'm going to introduce 2 new OC NPCs, Lorelei (pronounced lore-uh-lay) and Slippy. I haven't drawn them up yet cause I still need to think of their designs. I will make a post dedicated to them once I have a rough drawing of them. For now I know that I want Lorelei to be a bright purple bird and Slippy to be a monochromatic with maybe some red, eagle. Much more details will be revealed about these two once I make their post.

Whoops I hadn't meant for this blog to go unused for a while. I do have several rough drafts but I wanted my first publication to look nice. But I also don't want to leave this untouched for much longer so here's a headcanon (one of many) that I use in my story Project: New Horizons.

NPCs

Althou PNH is told from my two islands, Natsukashi and Willowisp, I wanted to make situations as 'real' as possible, which includes traveling to other islands. One problem are the repeating NPCs. How is it that Isabelle seems to be on EVERY island ever and also doesn't recognize you?

The only thing I could think of was the whole Nurse Joy/Officer Jenny thing the Pokémon series has going on. So, yes the NPCs do repeat, however each NPC (with an exception of some visitors prob like Gulliver, Gullivarrr, Pascal and others who don't really always show up on islands at the same time as the core NPCs) is their own unique person. Their 'name' Isabelle, Tom Nook, Kicks, Blathers, Daisy Mae ect... is simply a job title of sorts. I also put name in quotation marks because that is not their real name. They do have a real unique name but won't tell the island rep or the villagers. If an island is located in a different country (Europe, Spanish speaking countries, Japan, ect...) the NPC can also take on the regional name. So for example one of Isabelle's regional names is Canela. According to the wiki this is her Spanish name, so in Spanish speaking countries or even an island that has a big Spanish/Hispanic/Latin/Mexican ect... theme, she would have the name of Canela rather than her English name Isabelle.

Althou they may have the same 'name' as that NPC and overall same looks, they can change their outfits up. If you go visit a Japanese themed island, NPCs like Isabelle would wear a kimono, Tom Nook a haori set ect... A cottagecore island would have some of the NPCs wear more cottagecore outfits... whatever those look like. The theme of the island (if it has one) can alter the way the NPCs dress. This however does not apply to ALL NPCs, this is moreso for the ones that remain in the islands. NPCs like Gulliver/varrr, Pascal, Flick, and CJ don't really change their clothes to match the island theme. Plus Flick and CJ already got their own thing going on, I like the way they dress so I'm just gonna leave their outfits untouched. Other NPCs like Daisy Mae, Leif, Kicks, Label and Redd can alter their clothing slightly or go all out with the island theme they are currently visiting.

So, for Natsukashi core NPCs would wear like tourist clothing in the spring/summertime and more fall clothes in the misty months, since Natsukashi is normally set in the fall.

For Willowisp the clothing style is more on the goth, grunge, dark or formal.

Also while browsing Isabelle's wiki to use as a reference for somethin else and to see her alternative names, I came across this-

Hello and welcome to my new blog. I've made this blog to dump my mixed media story, Project: New Horizons, on here instead of my main, @full-pockets since it's kind of Animal Crossing and kind of not. It's empty now but that won't be for long. I'm also working on drawing myself a nice avatar so please ignore that default one lol.

Looking forward to any readers, questions/asks and such! In the meantime hope you enjoy story lore loosely based on a game about animals crossing, made by a writer who loves world building and character designing a bit much.
