When you create a new character, there is a small + shaped button, next to the Play, Favourite, and Steam Cloud buttons.

After clicking the button, the plus will turn red, and that shows that the player you have selected is an NPPlayer. The NPPlayer will spawn into the world when you do.

As far as I can tell, you can have up to two NPPlayers, as well as playing as another character - in turn, this puts three characters into the same world.

You can switch to NPPlayers from the Party tab, but it might take some getting used to.

Be wary when switching, however; for some reason, AI-controlled NPPlayers don't seem to take fall damage, and it accumulates over time - when the NPPlayer is switched to (taken control of), the character may instantaneously die, from fall damage.

Only solution I have for that bug would be to switch while in water, or while characters are airborne.
