forum How many characters do you have?

Honestly I'm just curious about the number and how that breaks down for everyone. So here is mine!

Total: 116 characters (all one universe)

How it breaks down with some overlap of categories:

5 main characters
23 knights (one of which is a main character)
30 royals total
18 of those are Guardians royalty
12 are Vampire royalty
15 Deities
10 are the main Elements
4 are secondary deities
1 is a primordial deity
19 demons
9 are Immortal demons
9 are Immortal demon heirs
1 of those are half demon (main character)
9 characters are dead/die very early on
3 of those were dragon knights
5 of those are royalty
1 is a dead lover to a main character
There are a couple of background characters too, I'm not mentioning everyone's family here but there are still more

Thats all the ways it breaks down.
Is 116 still way too many characters? Yes, yes it is.
Am I going insane from it all and even focusing on characters that are briefly mentioned because one of my pet peeves is half-assed characters? Yes, yes I am.

Cracks knuckles I have a lot. I divided it by species (Except for the main characters).

244 is an ungodly amount. Thankfully for me, most of them are part of the past, so I don't have to write their stories till later. Others are part of the future. Most are also side characters used to populate things.

In Mind Full there is probably the most.
In world 1, there are 6, Chester, Harris, Earl, Emerson, Blythe, and a kid Chester meets who comes back later in the story
In world 2 there are 7, Huginn, Muninn, Huginn's other three siblings, Tyr, and the queen.
In world 3 there are 2, Harli and Eddith (there are no other living characters).
In world 4 there are 3, Abbott, Caven, and Landers.
In world 5 there are 11, Lincoln, Jamyson, Leslie, Clovis, Sep, Bowen, Jace, Orion, Walton, Oakley, and Dave (Lincoln's cat).
In world 6 there is only 1 so far, They remain nameless for story purposes.
In world 7 there are 4, Oscar, Oscar's mom's body, Oscar's dad, and Winston.
In world 8 there is only 1 so far as well, her name is Ode.
In total there are 35.

Now in Meant to be ignored there aren't many.
Heath, Sebastian, Marcelo, Lennon, Daren, Heath and Daren's mom, Benjamin, Charlotte, Finlee, Marcelo's parents, Sebastian's dad, and Lennon's family.
in total there are 17.

Now if we're counting on all my old stories too.
That would come out to a grand total of 102 (of the ones I can remember).

On notebook? 91. Is that accurate? hell naw, i probably have cloose to 300
In my active stories?
The Bog Blooms Red:
10:
Felix, benji, riley, and steven as the mains
3 murderers
2 side chacters
1 ghost

Dirty Hands:
12:
Same 4 mains
1 unique hallcination
8 side (so far, might expand)

Lost
Unknown:
Felix
1 unique hallucination
Other reoccurring hallucinations

And theres a fourth book as well that i have no idea yet.

In total : 60 characters
*Haven't really made my mind on how to divide them by species
Is it a pain? Yep. But will I keep making characters? Probably

25 Characters
8 Deities

very small ik

Everyone has like, more than ten and there's me! I only have 2 atm :'C.
I'm trying my best to make more tho lol

You got this! It took me a while to make mine, about three years and whatnot (which is a long time I know)
My main characters were made with other people so maybe try asking around to see if others are willing to make a character with you! You don’t have to but I think it’s really fun in my opinion :)

Ooh that sounds fun! I would do that but there's a little problem, they don't know anything about writing (I don't either but we don't talk about that..)

hmm maybe try asking someone who's experienced then, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do one with you! There are a lot of nice people on this site, so maybe try asking some of the users on here? Just make sure they're okay with you dming if you plan on dming them
Also, don't worry about not knowing anything about writing, we all gotta start somewhere!

You're so sweet! Thanks for the help <33

no problemo! if you ever need help with anything else feel free to dm me <3

um LOTS!

Oh wait you mean specifically… 19 characters that are planned with possibly more. (okay so I guess that's not LOTS)

Parallels
5 main heroes
8 side heroes - one of which is a character in Unconventional
5 main villains
8 side villains - one of which is a character in Unconventional

Unconventional
8 antiheroes (including the two already counted)

Frogs: SMA
6 main characters

so 38 total! and that's just the ones catalogued on here, there are some extra siblings & romantic interests that I don't have pages for

On notebook.ai? 21 so far
4 more that i haven't put down in written
and about 6-7 more on Goodreads
most are main characters
all my side characters exist only in my head at the moment

I have 154 characters, divided within a bunch of universes and many not inserted in any plotline! The thing is, I don't count background characters/characters that have a very minor role on the story they're in, so each universe doesn't have too many characters, they1d have far more if I counted these bg OCs. Here it goes, it'll be hard to organize but let's try lmao xD Disclaimer, I have no idea of if it all add up, my 2 braincells are currently fighting for the 3rd place so they can't do much math, sorry about that :(
