As per one of the various threads by the guys from the Titans Network, I went and copied some of my characters over to the Test Server.
The character copy tool was good... there is a list of all the characters for each server. Nice. So, on a whim I went through every server and counted the 'real' characters. That is not counting the throw-aways, the placeholders, the costume holders, the lvl 1 characters. Only counting the characters with a name that with actual time spent on them, and a story of some sort.
Total: 75 characters.
DAMNIT! I'm not finished with them yet!
Yes, some of them are just a single line ... "Thug with Gruff voice and Dark Powers that like's to thump people" ... but he had a distinct 'voice' from everyone else. He had potential. Others were multi-page epics and ongoing classics that rattled around in my head but I knew I couldn't do them justice. (There is story behind how Silent Helper became Silent Helper. How Jelidan became Jelidan and in Paragon and *female* and what they planned to do if they ever permanently fell in combat. Raven Bolt is working for Craft Industries who is owned by a villain named Victor van Craft who defiles description.... and the list goes on.)
75 characters.
I'm going to be busy.
(Aside: yes I just admitted that I have over 70+ voices/characters running around in my head at times. I don't need anymore Alts. My appologies for the outburst... trying to write for a about "Where will you be when the servers die?" has stirred them all up.)
