How many characters do you have?! Empty How many characters do you have?!

Post by Caliburn Sun Nov 08, 2015 9:47 pm

So, a question! A question I've seen tossed around but never actually archived in a topic! NO, I'm not asking for a whole list, GOD no.

I'm more asking a rough estimate. How many fan characters do you have? If the list is small, then go ahead and list them! That's totally fine. But it it's huge, or you can't be bothered/don't want to, just list a number.

In terms of actual character count though, for me, I think my character count is something like 37 right now when it comes to the Sonic universe. It escalates to about 41-42 if you include other universes, but nothing more than that I wouldn't say.

I actually made a topic with a big list of my characters (a lot of them are small side characters that I haven't used EVER so really I shouldn't count them but I do) which in future I'm probably going to update to a better extent so you guys can kill yourselves with words enjoy reading over my vast library of Sonic OCs! c:

So the question is anyway...

How many characters do YOU have?

Oh lord. I used to have a list, but my computer wiped, so I have no idea.I think that list was at about 30-40? Those were all a while back, so it's depleted at this point. I'd sat about 20-30 from a current standpoint? I really should write 'em down.

If including other franchise OC, it's probably... 40-50?
I really should list.

EDIT: According to Uncanny I had 44 before I lost my list!

2... Because I don't really care about making 50... I only really need my primary and secondary. I rely more on interactions with other people's characters, rather than have my own army.

Is 'too many' a good number? I mean, a lot of them vary in relevance and stuff, but well... I'm a story-teller. Stories demand characters, and characters need each other. Characters spawn characters. Characters on characters on characters.
I can't say all off the top of my head, but 'at least 50' should hopefully suffice.

OH BOY
I HAVE A LIST
RIGHT THERE
ON THIS PAPER WITH TEA STAINS

(because unlike SOME people here I STILL USE PAPER)
I mean, overall on the list I have.. exactly 60 Mobian characters, but like half of them is just one doodle on my computer that I liked and saved 'for later' and never got back to them.
I had a few Pony OCs, Warrior Cats and animal OCs overall plus a bunch of Pokemon (and one and a half Gem) so that'd sum up to like.. maybe 75 characters..???

Buuut from those I use it's just, like, 12 Mobians?? (and that's mainly jumping between five of them) And others I don't use for RPs SO THERE'S THAT
Such a magnificent list

...I should take better care of my babies

how did i get to 60 anyway i promised myself i wouldn't do that

Hmm, lets see... All in all i probably have like 20 OC's ranging in my many different fandoms from years past. I only have maybe  5 mobians, but I only use 2 which are Amber and Aurora.

Pfft, I really need to be more creative with my characters cause like,


Some of them are based off of Amber... well, most of them actually....

I'm surprised at Elec mainly. XD I expected you to only have like 10 at most, but 75?! My god.

Either way, having less characters is good to me. But I also like variety. At the end of the day, only like four of my OCs are actively used around here, and not even that much at that.

But it doesn't deduct from the actual total amount of characters. At least, uh, I don't think so? 8D

Unless there's some law that says those characters don't exist. In which case I have like 7 characters.

Actually, that's a good question.
How many characters do you have that you regularly use then? Like, those that are considered your 'mains'.
For me I'd say about... 5ish? 4? I won't really post names unless other people decide to XD

I dunno, I sorta cycle through mains personally. Like I'll go months with 'Okay, this 5 are my main characters', then I'll suddenly shift to another 5, and then I'll cycle back round eventually.

Samuel McLinden.
Madness.
Ebonia Roxas.

...Oh man that makes 3 actually because Darkness is dead.

My other universe characters are... well, used because there's no other option! XD

Ria Tiara for RWBY/Starbound.

Alexis Wright for my custom universe.

Kazuna, Beretta, Gamu and Ziera are my DBZ characters that are commonly used (when I actually RP it that is) because yay variety.

And that's about it. Save for generic one-off human characters roughly based on other characters that I already have. I guess. But they're irrelevaaaaant.

Well, I don't know, to be honest...but I will say I have about five, I think. I've lost count on how many characters in total that I have.

Seriously Burn it's not THAT hard to have so many when you count in a few years old recoloured picture of tails and cosmo from sonic x
(But they turned out so adorable i need to make them characters.. someday)

And oh boy we're listing them now???
Well uh
Those I ACTUALLY use are
Obviously Elec, Ernest, Alpha, Riley, Flixter, and I USED to use Adelaire and Moony a lot but theeen i kinda didn't for like a year
And I sometimes very rarely also use Phoenix and Virgo (well okay him not bUT I AM PLANNING TO), lynx twins, Leo, and oh right bat demon siblings too
Now please don't make me feel awkward and list your charas too pls ;-;

oh well okay we are naming
uh
I use Gueton, Boa, Kal and Wicked as my mains these days? Though I have a bit of Grey thrown in there too. But the first 3 there are usually my main characters, but as Dregan said, it usually rotates to what I feel like.

Um...
I have a problem where I'm too deeply involved in AU's.
Like if you count Alternate Universe versions of characters, I literally have over a hundred. XD
But not counting that, I suppose for the Sonic Universe alone, I'd have like... Nnnnniiiineteen? No more than like, 20-ish. More than half of them are rabbits.
In terms of main characters, I have Whip the Rabbit himself(Bio pending), as well as Sugar(Rabbit), Chant, Swii(Rabbit), Tii(Rabbit), Kentario(freaking Rabbit thing), and Teridere, and Connar. =3
Though I guess I'd also be tempted to use Mars and maybe Spinel. 
I tend to feel like you need as many characters as you need and no less. If you wanna make a new character to fit the role of a story, then by all means. =)

Whip is a rabbit. This is known fact. Whip is also adorable but not relevant to the topic right now. ;D
But yeah, the numbers keep growing for me. Once you get an idea in your head, that's it, you're *DETERMINED to go for it no matter one. I still have a few ideas in my head that I want to make characters out of, but I feel guilty, cause more means abandoning others in favour of the new.

I personally struggle to come up with new ones. I also suck at giving them designs. Numbers do climb, but it's not like I'm making MASSIVE fluctuations of characters or anything. XD The concepts do come along, and I do want to make the most of them just like you said though.

Either way, I'm gonna work on my list. See you in a month.

My character count must be prety low. I have 3 main characters:
Boubka Frolig
Luka Frolig
Craid Taron

But shit. I also have backstory characters as which I can roleplay too...
Alina Marilayra
Drake Frolig
Lara Frolig
Mr. Butterscotch

So that makes 7 mobian characters, but I also has pokemanz characters....Shit that's a whole team!
Boubka the Pokemantrainer, Derek the Swampert, Trixie the Gardevoir, Mighty the Mightyeena, Spalt the Luxray, Pirna the Flareon and of course Excelsia the Fearow.

SO THAT MAKES 14 CHARACTERS IN TOTAL. WOOOH

Ah ha, time to feel awkward. -w-
At the moment, I have my typed up list in two parts, depending on which characters are finished and which are WIPs. Right now, the numbered list is at 101 (sadly there isn't a single dalmatian in there for me to crack a joke at) and the WIPs that I feel might actually become something come out to 33.

At the same time, a lot of them are old characters, since I've been making up ridiculous (mostly) animal people for a little more than a decade so there's so many that are being revamped again but this is no time for math, uh uh.

Then again, I can never feel odd about having "too many" characters when my brother has, like, 400+ last I asked. And he claims to only count the ones he's fully drawn. Jealous much.

I imagine old characters are quite difficult to let go of, purely because of how long we've had them for. It's like throwing away a childhood toy - you just don't want to because of all the memories it has.
Unless those memories are cringe and you have no emotional attachment to them, then RECYCLING BIN YOU GO~!

Oh ho yes, I've definitely had to scrap a few over the years. Most of the rest all have potential, I just so rarely feel like working on them since I generally only get to use certain ones in my Skype rping with a certain somebody.
Hence I'll just have to see if a forum gives me better opportunity to develop some of these hot messes.

I like to count all of my characters ever. If I have old characters that I hate I change them into something different.

Even if my characters are dead, I count them in the list, because... hey, they're important to me. A lot.

AND YOU CAN NEVER TAKE THEM AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
