identifikané

Identifikaní is a term originating from the fictional language of Esperanto, used within the context of a specific role-playing game system. It refers to a type of non-player character (NPC) that possesses a unique and often complex set of personal identifiers. These identifiers can include detailed backstories, specific motivations, unusual skills, and even distinctive physical traits that set them apart from more generic NPCs. The purpose of an identifikaní is to provide a more memorable and engaging experience for players, offering a character with whom they might develop a deeper connection or whose actions are more readily understood due to their established identity. The term itself is a portmanteau of "identi" (identity) and "fikaní" (a made-up suffix indicating a characteristic or entity). Game masters often create identifikaní to populate their game worlds with individuals who can act as plot hooks, allies, or antagonists with a greater degree of depth than typical background characters. The level of detail for an identifikaní can vary, ranging from a few key traits to a fully fleshed-out personality and history, depending on the needs of the game and the preferences of the game master.
