Noun. A person who seems to lack critical thinking, skills and agency, blindly following trends, social norms, or authority figures without questioning them. They exhibit a psychological state characterized by a lack of self-awareness and individuality, appearing to be controlled by external factors rather than their own thoughts and emotions. Basically, they're like video game non-player characters in real life.
Note: Be mindful when using 'NPC,' lest you sound like a heartless video game villain, dismissing real people as mere characters.
