   * **PC**: A PC, or "​player character"​ is a character controlled by a player. In our sim, nearly every character is a PC.   * **PC**: A PC, or "​player character"​ is a character controlled by a player. In our sim, nearly every character is a PC.
   * **NPC**: An NPC, or "​non-player character"​ is a character controlled by a Storyteller or staff member (more on that later) who's largely present just to enable or conflict with the PCs. If a group of characters wanted to buy climbing supplies for a mountain expedition, someone might play a shopkeeper NPC for them to buy things from. NPCs are relatively infrequent in PTR.   * **NPC**: An NPC, or "​non-player character"​ is a character controlled by a Storyteller or staff member (more on that later) who's largely present just to enable or conflict with the PCs.

-  * **In-Character (IC)**: Being "​in-character"​ means that interaction is performed as characters. This would be something like Fluttershy talking to Rarity about a sick animal, as opposed to their writers or voice actors talking to each other about going to work.+  * **In-Character (IC)**: Being "​in-character"​ means that interaction is performed as characters. This would be something like Fluttershy talking to Rarity about a sick animal, as opposed to their writers or voice actors talking to each other about going to work. While IC, a pony character would have no notion of Second Life, or Earth and it's various countries, or anything like that.
   * **Out-of-Character (OOC)**: Out-of-character is basically the opposite of in-character or IC. If you were on SL in your pony avatar, but talking to someone about League of Legends, you'd be "​speaking out of character."​ In PTR, we generally indicate OOC chat with double parenthesis %%((like this))%%, or we wear OOC indicators on our avatars to show we're out of character. IMs are also usually considered OOC, though they can occasionally be used to represent IC whispering that other nearby characters wouldn'​t hear.   * **Out-of-Character (OOC)**: Out-of-character is basically the opposite of in-character or IC.

   * **Scene**: Think of this as a scene from a movie. It's a set period of time where a set of related actions happen. An RP "​scene"​ could be an argument between two ponies, or a cheer squad practice, or dealing with putting out a locker room fire after a dragon sneeze.   * **Scene**: Think of this as a scene from a movie.
