[OOC][RFC] Need to get something cleared up RE: multiple instances of characters

[classicdrogn]

One one hand, not every character has to be more than a face in a crowd scene and a namedrop now and then for who someone was with off-camera, and even for big climactic battles there's only so many who can usefully fight in one location and most of the planning-types will recognize this, even assuming no minions or opportunistic rival bad guys to take up attention.

On the other hand, if you're letting in alternate timelines, Homura Akemi will fill entire apartment buildings if not cities with Madokas, and the cities full of other Homuras will fight anyone who tries to stop her. Because Madokuddlepile! (And the Madokas of course will want to bring all the versions of her friends too, because she's Madoka, and that also opens the gate to armies of Madoka's witch, and... etc.)

Of course, I'm not in on the project as such, and maybe this is even addressed in the linked page (which I therefore don't have access to) but here at least is the outside view for consideration.
