"NPC" is a term that originally comes from video gaming—typically a popular type of character in many of their worlds. NPC means non-playable character or non-player character. Essentially, an NPC is any character in a game that you are currently not playing as. Related: Huh? Here’s What ‘DW’ Means in a Text

What Is an NPC?

NPCs can be people in the background or guides that you need to interact with to finish a goal or task; there are endless possibilities as to who constitutes an NPC. The first examples that come to mind, for me, are Sims not in your household in The Sims 4 (or any of the The Sims games). I was also a big fan of Spyro the Dragon as a kid, and the NPCs in that game helped by giving instructions for the next part of your adventure. Many other role-playing games have NPCs such as Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas and Red Dead Redemption 2.There are great NPCs out there who are well-written and operate fine, but then there are ones who are really slow or mindlessly walk around like nothing is going on upstairs. Which, of course, there isn’t because they’re designed to only do a handful of things. When they’re not doing what they’re programmed to do, they might just stand in one place, softly swaying until called into action. 

Examples of NPCs

Residents in Animal Crossing, such as Isabelle, Tom Nook and BrewsterTownies in The Sims 4, such as Bob Pancakes, Bella Goth and the LandgraabsNavi in The Legend of ZeldaMerchant in Resident Evil 4

With that said, though, did you think that NPC would just keep its original meaning forever? No, of course not. Even though it’s something that came about at the turn of the century because of the rise in video games, NPC already has a slang meaning. NPC can also be a pejorative name you call a real-life person who you think is irrelevant, boring or who doesn’t seem to have many thoughts, as Urban Dictionary shared. Again, an NPC in video games can be “stupid” or only serve one purpose. So, an NPC in your real life is someone who is "just there" (from your perspective).
