So as a new user, I have had the difficulty of needing to pump out characters to have diversity and to stay up to par with others. I'd also like to refrain from using the same character in two simultaneous fights.

Would ten be a good number?

[color=7bcdc8]Just keep fighting and making characters. Characters will come naturally as you experience new stuff in the Arena, as well as when strokes of inspiration arise. Don't try to pump out X number of characters, cause you'll realize soon that you won't even want to play most of them, because there isn't much going for the character or you're just not feeling them. Just because you have an idea for a character, doesn't always mean you'll end up making it. I always just jot them down somewhere and come back to it later and see how I feel, particularly if they aren't all that inspired, or if it's only a momentary thing. As many character ideas I have floating around on my character Sheet thread, I only have 2 completed sheets and a half completed one. But those are ones I know I want to use. The others I usually test by bringing them into storylines involving other characters. I.E. Before I started work on Taro and Yasu, I wrote a small piece involving them in my Fight using Mason(The Prismatic Archer) vs. Rilla's Demon Elf who's complicated name I constantly forget. (I like simple names.) Then, in my Character Sheet for Hadyn, much of his Origin story details some side characters here and there, but a man named Arsto in particular. I may or may not develop a CS for him as well, but I'm hoping to dig a little into that particular character while I journey around with Hadyn.

I guess what I'm saying is don't force it. Sometimes the characters are good ideas for Arena characters, other times they might just make good NPCs. Don't get me wrong, I throughly enjoy when a person can constantly spit out characters like ImportantNobody can, but let's be honest here, how many of his characters do you think he actually uses? If anything, most of them are just rough ideas that could potentially be other New characters. No offense to him, of course. I enjoy his works.

Just find what works for you, though. You shouldn't feel the need to just Pump characters out.[/color]
