I think [abbr] is OK.

In the Japanese subtitles to the Hollywood movie "Free Guy" about a video game character who gains self-consciousness, this 
is what they used to translate "NPC". Like モブ it's wider though because it refers to background characters in anime too

Not sure if I'd call it an abbr or not
