How long do you want this pre-game phase to go on? It'll be a long time before you get a chance to socialize casually with any other genin IC.. and I do have a lot more NPCs that I can show off, but I realize at some point you'll want to do something for realsies.<br/><br/>When I began making notes for this game, I created a bunch of teams that were basically just three characters and their level progressions. Now, I've got about 9 NPCs that are named and have at least a little bit of personality. So three teams... though I have level progressions for about 8 teams that may or may not ever see the light of day.
