Spawn-Regulator

undefined:

A spawn-regulator is the role of a sentient headspace who is able to populate its own headspace with NPCs.

While most of them are designed to be temporary/ephemeral, some NPCs may become permanent; they may even turn progressively into a Now-PC, especially if the sentient headspace have formed a symbiotic connection with its creation.

This role is a subterm of the Regulator role.

History
This term was coined on November 25th, by Pluralpedia user Oceanic-Lanterns.

The term "spawn" refers to "the live creation of a character, item or NPC" in video games, and the term "regulator" is a direct reference to the umbrella term under which the "spawn-regulator label falls". The dash between the two words was added to make it look like "regulator" is a suffix to "spawn", thus emphasizing that this term is a regulator subterm.
