How many characters do you have currently in your story?

[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]...

Let's see, so far I've got...

• Two of the lead heroines (the other two have been mentioned, but haven't actually appeared yet)
• One villain
• Three secondary characters
• One cat
• ...And a bunch of background characters

There's also technically 11 characters who appeared in the prologue illustrations, but idk if that counts?

[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

[faisalhussein394]

I currently have 7 characters but only 4 of them so far have way too many screentime.

(Main Protagonist)
Mukhtar Mohammad A'noor (The golden-eyed boy).

(Side Characters)
Sa'ad Mohammad A'noor (Little thief).
Asra Mohammad A'noor.
Midha Adel A'noor (Former Hashashin).
Hisham Hamad al'amr.
Hamamah (A slave girl).

(Main Antagonist)
Nizar Al-Rizq (The silver-eyed bane of revolution)

There used to be 3 more but they died much earlier.

There are others but, they're pretty much extras.

[morganicfoods]

I have a lot that have appeared, although not introduced by name.
I did make a counter of how times each character has been drawn.

220: Sora
208: Hrann
98: Ne Tomoi
89: Ka Dovo
33: Galai Ne
32: Makleela
29: Peigil
23: Raiza
22: Hara
21: Divi Hei
15: Irimi
11: Fadili
10: Nari
6: Wevla, Saizaha, Rani
5: Zahki
4: Rigiki Mai, Selei Gelei, Linfa
3: Mivli, Binahi, Mai Soloi
1: Timse, Vivi, Mizia, Kihi

That's 27 characters total, and 859 drawings of them.

[2DLenzy]

Ooh, character counter! That sounds fun, and tedious XD.
Imma try counting mine too, cause I'm now curious.

[morganicfoods]

It was a bit tedious, but I only have 46 pages out, so it's not that bad XD
Good luck!

Read Grand Epic Elemental | Tapas Web Comics

[2DLenzy]

Well, I am back from counting(drawings). That was--fun....This what I got as of latest episode:

Friar: 244
Bucky: 143
Dr. Fowler: 131 < surprised me
Alec: 79
Schmultz: 48
Luke: 43
Gallus: 36

Bress: 28
Chante: 25
Dr. Horace: 23
Marek: 21
Carl: 20

Chickpea: 13

Don't have to do this, is just a bonus

[Rai_Muffin]

So far,
28
12 members of the core group
10 antagonists
6 supporting

That's just so far, there's a lot more to come.
I introduced so many early on so I could have a time skip and set comedic side stories in that month long gap

I know that sounds like a lot (because it is), but it was like a challenge to myself to have such a large cast and make them all feel developed.
I've even used an Excel sheet to calculate my arcs mathematically.
Honestly taking any out at this point would hurt the story I have planned.

[2DLenzy]

Smart move. I have a similar thing in my Excel, listing when every character first appears and in which episode, on what date and what they contribute/change in the overall plot/arcs. Would have no clue going forward without that spreadsheet. Also helps me arrange events in a logical order without introducing too many characters, or too few. Also gives me something to look forward to during slow/boring drawing periods.
