Recently i started a small campaign to get practice for my bigger campaign, with my friends, and i introduced them too a essential NPC but I guess they thought the shipwrecked sailor was kinda Boring.  

I tried the sailor using "Sailor Slang" and other stuff but it did not cut it for my players, I feel if my NPC creation is flawed and now Im worried that my NPCS might be not so good in my bigger campaign.


So **How do you give NPCS personality? **
