How many characters do you have currently in your story?

[BoomerZ]

Main Character:
Baul, Isador, Gavin

Secondary Characters:
Dean, Matt, Rebecca, Jesse, Azzel, Tommy

I also have reoccurring characters for stories.

[2DLenzy]

Ah, window alien guy! Classic! XD

[allenT]

10 Story characters (including main, side, minor) Mains: Maor, Sanariya etc. Sides: The 2 guards, Jen (they will have their scenes in the future). Minors: The turtle siblings, village flutist, etc. Some BG characters will reoccur multiple times in some key scenes therefore earning a place of 'Minor story characters'.

9 'Active' Background characters: They partake more and mostly have some presence on panels, such as Ms. Bell & the seal fish-monger. Some seemed to be just BG characters but they will have their moments in the future. Some BG characters only appear once or twice but their presences are too strong. They're the 'glorified BG characters'.

30~32 Nameless BG characters that stay in the backdrops consistently: villagers, toddlers, kids etc.

Others that don't count are mostly travellers that only be shown once. Maybe 8~12 I didn't count them.

[Lensing]

4 in the episode I´m writing right now, one of them is a side character who
only says 2 sentences.

I write episode for episode and the first thing I usually do in the editing phase is to kick characters

[llobucervallince]

Let's see... Henry and Larry of course, Spring and Autumn (4)
Then we have the villagers from the Saint Horns (the first chapter, 6 characters if we don't count extras)
Maria and Mr. Hand (2)
Raliath, Enzi, Moss and Berlath (4)
and Poncho (from my latest chapter, 1)
So in total so far... 17, +2 of the future chapter 5, another 2 of Ch.6, 1 or more of chapter 7, around 5 in the 8th and last one at the last two chapters.
In total it should be at least 28 character in the whole volume.

[GodbreakerComic]

So there's the main girls:

Ragna, the human fighter (best friends with Randy. Hates/enemies with/love interest of Ravening)
Randy, the triton wizard (best friends with both.)
Ravening, the drow thief (Hates/enemies with/love interest of Ragna. Eventually best friends with Randy.)

Then the recurring secondary characters:

Smoke, the tabaxi bard (wants to be left out of everything, will 100% get dragged into it. Also friends with Randy.)
Deirdra the Unyielding, the dragonborn barbarian (Ragna and Ravening share a co-crush on Deirdra. The feeling is definitely not mutual. Also friends with Randy.)

side characters:

Howard Bloodmeat
John Battlebjorn
Pirate Portia
Thogus "The Haber-slasher"
Sexy Kyle

Villains:

Ludwig and his goons
Lady Nocturna
An unnamed necromancer

[2DLenzy]

Oh, yeah! Forgot about the bg chars! Reason I say that is there are 2 you see in my story that make more frequent appearances later on.

[2DLenzy]

28? Dat's alot. Then again, I hadn't factored in all my future chars. Probably [43 known]...

Guess we all competing to see who has the most XD

[CarltonIsaac]

1000 and more in this one series alone -

[KevinReijnders]

Over 50
With more in the works.

Side note: A lot of these characters currently only exist in the scripts, but will eventually appear.

[2DLenzy]

Pardon, but DAYUM! Think you beat the number, lol!

[CarltonIsaac]

Been working on this since 1991,

[2DLenzy]

Ah, that's what 1991 meant.
Funny, I was born the year your idea began...
Coincidence?
...
Yes.
Way to keep your work alive for so long!

[xstarx07]

For starters, since my project is a quite long-running one, there‘s gonna be a lot more way later, so I‘ll focus on the Part I cast for now:

Main cast:

• Josi
• Martin
• Sofia
• Amelie
• Shadedancer
• Crystal
• Riverfang
• Troy
• Black
• N
• Gary
• Silver

Missing characters, yet to be revealed

For context, this wip basically shows the team Sky Diver by the end of Part I, the only ones missing are as follows:
* Anastasia
* Mew
* Ceyora
* Ash & Pikachu

As for not explicitly mentioned or shown side-characters that have, however, already been teased once and play a major part later on:
* Cross
* Krallmon
* Josi‘s parents
* ??? (Silver-haired mystery woman from the Introduction episode)

Special mentions (because why the heck not lol):
* A character that‘s teased at the very start of the chapter I‘m currently working on
* A certain organization that‘s been mentioned once in the Introduction episode, as well as, of course, the other teams
* An even shadier organization which does play a part in chapter 7

Sa'ad Mohammad A'noor (Little thief).
Asra Mohammad A'noor.
Midha Adel A'noor (Former Hashashin).
