It happens to the best of us. You decide to throw in a side character or engage with an NPC in order to further the plotline or maybe explain some interesting element of your character's backstory. And then it happens. That twinkle in this unimportant character's eye, a glimmer of some untold phenomenal backstory glittering mysteriously behind them, a seductive siren's call to use them just a liiiiiittttttllllleeee bit more. Suddenly, you're madly in love. But they were never supposed to be important to you.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this so I want to hear everyone's NPC or Side Character related story. Not just in RP's, I know there are tons of side or background characters in films/books/games that manage to steal the limelight and people's hearts. It's actually sort of a neat phenomenon. So... tell me all about it. Especially when it comes to character's you've written: What happened? Did you end up making them full characters? Did they become an integral part of the story somehow? Did you stay strong and lovingly relegate them to a special place in your heart and nothing more? Spill the details!
By all means also feel free to go on completely unrelated tangents to these particular questions, I'm dying to know people's thoughts on all things related to NPC/Side Characters.
