How many characters are in your comic or that you plan to have in your comic

[kkitty]

Probably 30-40. Definitely at least 20.

[demthorshie]

I've never really kept track of the character count in my story because there are going to be quite a few in the future. As far as main characters though, there are currently only 2, the rest are supporting characters. I have no idea what the exact number is going to be but there will probably be at least 10 - 15 more characters that will be introduced eventually.

[R.n.P]

I get my inspiration from lots of shonen manga especially Bleach so I wanna make my comic to be like that.
So I make up lots of characters in my sketch book based on the powers I wanna see used in my comic and then give them their own personality on how I see them after the sketch

[R.n.P]

I plan to find away to get readers into most of the characters so that at anytime they can easily recognize them and not confuse them for others.

At the moment in my comic Galaxy Guts, I have about 6 with 3 main ones. But I have about 9 to 10 characters all up that I can't wait to introduce. I always have the temptation to come up with new characters for my comic but I have to take a breath and try to develop the ones I already have.

I have five characters in my comic Magic Advisor so far https://tapastic.com/series/magicadvisor

My main character Lizzy, her house ghost, the silly self proclaimed super villain Prim, Lizzys best friend Elliott and his love interest the vampire Batula.

I will bring in more characters as the series goes on but for now I will focus on these.

@SirGutsalot Your characters are awesome!

I think it is so cool with comics with so many characters. I love a big cast. I don't know if I could handel that big of a cast myself thought... I feel like I would confuse them all together. But maybe if I bring new characters in slowly I will manage to keep up haha ^^

[mariusthered]

i have a booklet that i keep all the details of each cast member so i can look things up when writing.

[WakaXO]

maybe if I bring new characters in slowly I will manage to keep up

That is how I plan to handle all my characters, slowly introducing them. Also I don't want to overwhelm my readers, I know personally I hate when a story pumps out characters all in one go. (I am looking at you shounen Mangas! Lol 😂 )

[R.n.P]

Lol I haven't seen any shonen manga that just overwhelm readers with characters, you need to give shonen mangakas more credit

[Melinda]

I guess around 15-20.. The main characters only 3 in Who's Mr.President? but in Kyun and Hana the main characters are 4.
My web comics are focusing on school's clubs activities, so there'll be a lot of characters from various clubs >v<

[timinabox24]

well, a lot of my characters only appear rarely, but they all have a very special place in my comics, so they all have to be there :'D

[Momomori]

on the comic I'm working on there will only ever be 2 characters, and their both mute.
(it's called Silence by Trash Panda!) WOO! SHAMLESS SELF PROMOTION!!!!! cough sorry... i'll leave now..

[Nebulous]

WOW! Honestly lucky you, I know a person who has over 1000+ established characters for their comic, and that's all the characters left unrevealed. But I too understand the plight of having so many characters as I have 3+ comics each with over 50+ characters to draw and develop. I fell your pain, and I'm here with you. I hope you manage to make it work though!

[shaylafarley5]

Oh wow 100 characters, I have 50+ characters In my comic so far. probably half of them are going to be killed off (minor characters that provokes the MC or starts the story arc)
Idk how long it will take me to finish my comic PSYCHOSIS. I only have 7 chapters drawn with 31 chapters written and that's not even near the half way mark XD
I would have more pages done if it wasn't for my job.

[shaylafarley5]

So true, the personality for each character is easy for me but the look and style for each one it the real problem.

[efdvorsky]

For Cosmic Fish, the first arc is only going to focus on about 10 characters more or less, although there's 16-17 in total.

But the story has a total of about 32 if I remember right.

100 is impressive though! I have a comic that has about 60 planned but I've cut it down or mixed characters into one to try and avoid quantity > quality like Bleach or Homestuck ended up having. Not that it's always the case, it's just playing character creation hard mode imo, and rather focus on the story. If done well, then great job!

[mac]

when i start the comic (hopefully this year tbfh so!! but i have four main characters right now, i was thinking maybe one more, but i havent officially been planning so mayb itll change

[atlas]

Counting the total number of characters for both of my comics, ten so far.

[TACOBERTO]

Although Quality > Quantity, I can't help myself I just love making characters.
So far I've only introduced 5, have official designs for about 12, and throughout the course of a (hopefully) decades long 12 act series I plan on having well over 100+ characters.
Not to mention I have this "small world" mentality were any character I introduce even if they first appear as a background character will come back and have a significant role to play.

[KrispyKremeBits]

Right now there are only 3 characters that have showed up in the comic, but there are gonna be tons more. Probably around 50 - 60 solid reoccurring characters and a couple of background characters.
