You'd call Darth Vader fodder?![]()
How about Lead, Clown, Card, or Feature/Featuring... ?Just the wrong tone for the casual action comedy game I’m writing. It’s just an aesthetics thing.
If what you're writing is somewhat-comedic anyway, why not just invent a word out of nothing and then define it to mean what you want it to mean.
As in:
PC - your player character, and those of other players in the game.
Graflen - anybody or anything else you meet in the game setting. This could be a vicious monster, a friendly noble, a ghost, someone's pet cat, the third guard on the right, and so on - they're each and all Graflen.
