K, so assuming it's all good with the rest of you guys (I honestly didn't have time to wait for everyone's approval on this). I split the registration board into two sub-boards: Main Characters and Minor Characters.
I think we should also change the rules (I didn't do this, it's just a suggestion) to say that basically you can only have two main characters, and say... Five minor characters?
The only difference between a main and minor character is that main characters are more consistent, and you actually post in their perspective. Where as minor characters are only depicted from an outsider looking in.
So, post your thoughts on this. Btw... DO NOT FREAK OUT BECAUSE OF THIS. If everyone disapproves of the change then it can all be reversed with a couple clicks of an admin's mouse. ;D

I like this idea but I have a question. I have a whole new country and an organization, therefore I inevitably have a lot of minor characters. Would I still be required to limit to five? Because going by the minor characters I've put out in my thread, I already have more than five. Just wondering

We should discuss the difference between a Minor Character and a background character as well...
Minor - has a small part in the plot and would have a small impact if something were to happen to the character...they also have ties to the main characters...like Ben..he is a minor character due to being a servent of the Desert Monk.
Background - they have little or nothing to do with the plot. These are mostly townspeople, grunts, shopkeepers, nameless members of groups, etc. So...this goes with the country and the organization...these characters are usually nameless and would be referred as thier title such as 'Bill walked through the town and looked at the man petting the bunny rabbit'

Also, how would we make their registration? Just like that of the main characters? Or would it be different, like would there be something of a requirement as to describe the tie to the main character?

I like this idea, yet, I have three main characters, and I dont feel like changing any of them into minor characters. Does this mean I have to kill another one?

I've kept my minor characters in check via memory...I guess we could set up a seperate thread for minor characters...or you could save the information on your own computer?

Well I agree with this, plus it gives us a good glimpse at who exactly these Minor characters are, how are they connected to our main character and any backgorund info they have regarding our characters
