How many characters?

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Hi, I just wondered. I joined in June and already have two characters and have a character application for another but haven't got the guts to post it as it will be my last character slot until September. I wondered, how many characters do you all have and when did you create them?

[Paula Kendrick]

I have 20 something characters and I just mke them when I get slots. Most of the time after I get 15 completed stories I'll apply for a slot and start working on the sheet so that by the time I get the slot I'm ready to apply.

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Cool. When you first joined did you make three characters or did you just start with one?

[Holden Cartwright]

Back when I first joined, the slot and player key system didn't exist, so I just created my first character, and then had to wait 3 months to create my second (I think it was 3 months, I can't remember the system back then very well), and then I adopted my third, which at that time was also sort of different from adoption now. So those ones were all somewhat spread out over the course of one summer. I had a ton of characters I wanted to create, but the way it worked forced me to space it out more, which I think was good in the long run, although I definitely like having slots better.

Now I have a total of 17 characters created over the course of a couple years, having dropped I think 2 characters somewhere along the way, and right now, even though I have slots, I'm not going to make more just yet because this is about the amount I can handle.

Will I end up making more anyway? Yes. xD

:D It must be hard to cope with so many characters. I created my first, Gabrielle on the day I joined, Dotty about a month or so ago and I have an idea for another which I am hoping to post soon...

I have 8 characters right now. Over the course of the past nine months, I've actually dropped about 4 characters, one of which being my first character. Percy and Trystan were created within a couple of weeks of getting my player key, iirc, and 2 of my current characters were free slot day charries. Other than that, I just wait (im)patiently to be able to claim a slot so I can create another character - I actually have about 6 wip apps and will be getting my next three month slot in a week and my 15 completed stories slot... really soon.

[Paula Kendrick]

I started with one and then when I got my p,ayer key I created Paula here. And not long after I created my third one. I woud up dropping my first character cause I didn't like playing her very much. Now I just sort of create characterswhe I can get the slots, but I think that as soon as I get like my last three on the list made I'm gonna take a break from character making for a while.

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Hi, has anyone here got any advice on whether or not I should post my third character? Its just that will be my last slot for a while and I am undecided..... :D

[Paula Kendrick]

You should post it and when you get 15 completed stories you can always apply for anothrr one. Remember you don't have to wait for 3 months to pass to get more slots.

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Thanks. Well, three months may be easier as that will mean only waiting until September 20th.

:D

Do you have any characters about to join first year?

[Henry Brisby]

20 odd, of various ages and types, though I favour adult characters over students. I don't worry about the slots any more, as I have about 11 at the moment, down from something ridiculous like 18. Anyway, I wouldn't wait to post your next character, there is bound to be free character day soon enough, and if your keen to play them along side the ones you got..then go gadget, go.

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Thanks, cool. The verdict seems to be "post it!" then. I have heard of these free slot days; they sound so cool! I hope there IS one soon!

[Massimo Pecora]

I'm in a rather similar situation with Laura. Today I made Massimo here, my 29th character, and I have a lovely 18 slots sitting around for whenever I want them. Trust me, posting now is better - you'll be getting slots soon. XD

As for me, I generally make them in spurts, and I went for a long time with a small number. For my first year on the vault I made a grand total of six characters - though the system was different then. In the [almost] year since, I've made 23.

[Katharina Kirkpatrick]

I have no idea how many characters I have...I have to find my list again. Anyways, when I first started the player key/slot system was not in existence. In fact, the board was still called The Slytherin Dorms. I remember it was the 3 week system back then. You created a character and then waited three weeks to create the next one. I'm currently weeding through a lot of the characters I created because I went inactive for a while. I probably will have quite a few slots open, but I will probably not create too many due to the same reason as Laura. It just becomes too much to handle.

[Samantha Winchester]

Well when most people write up characters, our lovely vaultkeepers will tell us how many slots we have left to make them. Yeah I don't get that. Every time I get a new slot, it's gone within the course of 48 hours. Then again in about six days I'll only be up to character number nine, which is actually an adoption.

[Gabrielle Cecile]

Cool :)

[Jeremey Knight]

I believe Dusty is our record-holder for most characters. She was in the mid-fifties at one point.

Gosh! Awesome! What about you Cody, your name seems to pop up under every character I view.

[Cillian Knight]

I may have mentioned earlier, but I'm up to 29 now. :)

[Gabrielle Cecile]

:O.... you wouldn't be any chance after any others??? ;)

[Timothy Malloy]

Probably will add a few more at some point, but I just made Massimo so I'm probably taking a break for a bit.

Lol :D

[Damian Walhalla]

I have about 28 characters, which I've made over the last four years (so I'm not totally insane XD).

You should post your app. It doesn't really matter having to wait a while to make a char, you can always work on more apps if you feel like it. :D
