	Welcome! In this tutorial we will learn how to use Bonfire's built-in Character Editor in order to create Custom NPCs. First, we'll learn how to design our NPC and place them in the world, then we'll give them basic dialogue and enable them to speak to the player. Afterward, we'll learn how to interact with our NPC by creating branching dialogue and Custom Actions. We'll enable our NPC to "remember" the player, and lastly we'll wrap up the tutorial with a simple fetch quest.		Welcome!
