I am by no means finished with these NPCs, and I should probably try to find pictures for them, but here's what I have so far.<br/><br/><strong>NPCs on Staff or equivalent (like the ferry owner and head lifeguard):</strong><br/><br/>Headmistress Kiyomo Mitsuhama<br/><br/>Rumors among the students state Headmistress Mitsuhama as sometimes harsh but ultimately fair, and always better informed of the school’s goings-on than students might expect.  The Mitsuhama family is exceptionally wealthy with various businesses, and even though Kiyomo is rather young, she was groomed for the position by her mother (also named Kiyomo) from childhood.<br/><br/>Kyle<br/><br/>Kyle is a jovial but reasonably polite older man who runs the Fairwinds Ferry.  Although he never gives out his last name, the large R carved with four straight lines on the back of the boat has led many students to speculate.  Either he or someone under his employ runs the ferry three times a day - morning, midday, and evening - on a trip to Onogoro-Jima Island and back.  One can text the hotline to ask the ferry to wait a little bit if a student or faculty is running a little late, but it never waits more than fifteen minutes.<br/><br/>Leon “Coach” McDermott<br/><br/>Although he’s the head of the Physical Educator and gymnasium, Coach comes across as far more intelligent and eloquent than the average PE teacher.  Poetry is one of his many means of inspiring students to surpass their limits and continue training, and he teaches strategy for sports as often as he relies on physical aptitude.<br/><br/>Sergeant Rebecca “Sarge” Jameson<br/><br/>Weapons training can certainly be dangerous, and many places of learning don’t want to deal with the high insurance rates, Sargeant Jameson teaches the classes with a firm hand of discipline.  Her military records are sealed save that her leaving was entirely honorable, and she’s capable of wielding virtually every weapon created by human beings, offering insights to those who fit her standards to be educated with lethal training.<br/><br/>Professor Tonya Shamoon<br/><br/>Various mathematic, history, and language classes are taught by Professor Shamoon.  Her penmanship is nothing less than exquisite, and although her classes are kept with strict discipline, her grading system comes more from effort and attention than in flawlessly learning the material.<br/><br/>Doctor Lin Cheng<br/><br/>The university physician, often responsible for various checkups for students and faculty.  Though quite a few refer to her as the nurse, she’s proven herself more than capable with all sorts of ailments, and her first aid skills have proven invaluable for when there have been serious accidents.  Others remark on her exceptional attractiveness, but she seems to have little interest in “playing Doctor” in that way with students.<br/><br/>Professor Durgan<br/><br/>Not one to let students easily learn his first name, Mr. Durgan teaches shop class for woodworking and various metals.  He’s very short, about three and a half feet tall, but doesn’t take offense easily as the politically correct terms for being a little person change.  What he does encourage is keeping long hair braided or tied up so that it doesn’t get caught in machinery, as he does with his beard.<br/><br/>Kimo Kanahanui<br/><br/>The island's groundskeeper is of obvious Hawaiian descent but usually dresses for dealing with the nature of the jungle, such as thick boots.  It's not uncommon for him to guide back students who ventured too far into the wilderness and got lost.<br/><br/>Shaniqua West<br/><br/>A beach next to the dock and close to the university gives an exceptional place for students to relax and unwind after studying...or slack off if they don't much care about grades to begin with.  Either way, Shaniqua seems to be the head in charge of keeping the beach clean and watching the waters, often found in the Lifeguard chair to make sure people are safe.  More than once she's had to close the beach for claims of sharks, though no one has ever seen any in the waters.<br/><br/>Amunet Chisisi<br/><br/>The head librarian is gregarious and kind, usually forgiving of those who seek information so long as they don't demonstrate severe disrespect or break the rules.  (Talking at a normal level can be forgiven, if it's not preferred, but shouting gets a stern warning.)  Rumors that she's killed and eaten a few of the students are obvious urban legends, since nobody can name any such student who's gone missing in or near the library.<br/><br/>Max Johnson<br/><br/>One of many university janitors, this one clearly hates his job, his family, and existence in general, as perceived by the muttering to himself as he hauls around equipment or gets to work.  The constant talking to himself ironically keeps him from being as metaphorically invisible as many of the other maintenance staff.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Other Characters so I can keep all the names straight, usually minor or otherwise less important:</strong><br/><br/>Allison Beaucroft: Blue hair and JD's crush, Senior Class President<br/><br/>Billy Maxwell: Geek, head of the uni’s Hacktastica group<br/><br/>Brianna Moonglade: Nymph with ebony wood skin and vines for hair.  808-555-6969<br/><br/>Courtney: Blonde who had her panties stolen.<br/><br/>Gilbert Garfield: Nicknamed Amish.  Briefly seen by Namira.<br/><br/>Jia Feng: Scion of Nezha.<br/><br/>Julia Page: Headmistress Mitsuhama's Secretary.  jvanderbilt@onogorojima.com or 808-555-7243.
