StaniflyWhoa hey hi there! Welcome! Thank you, all of you! <3 It's been four days since I posted this idea, but in that time I promise I've been thinking of some more solid worldbuilding things.
Sure! A dog would be fun!
This is a question I've been debating. Since this is a portal fantasy, the kids' origin doesn't really matter all that much. I'm leaning toward modern-day, simply because I've done so many historical and futuristic RPs but have neglected modern. I'm open to suggestions though.
This is another debatable question. In the past I've tried accepting all and throwing them all in together, accepting all and splitting into groups, and capping the player count. One thing I haven't tried, but I think could work well, is to start every character separate and alone. This would mean that the beginning of the RP would be essentially a 1x1, letting the character feel out the world and react to it in their own way instead of being influenced by the people around them. It would also give me a good idea of how to move forward with that character before pooling them with others.
The obvious problem with that is time and energy required of the mod to pull it off. I'm working on that part, haha.
To answer the actual question, though, I think 8-9 is ok. :)
I should also note that my RPs tend to have a very systematic slowdown trend. It's crazy in the beginning, gets to a comfortable pace after 2 weeks, and after a month it's slowed to a few days between each post. After a few months, a post is a nice little present once in awhile. The RP doesn't die until no one is interested. See "Lantern" in my signature, where a posting round is a month long on average, haha.
Hey this is long. I'm working on RP specifics and will post again when I have something to show for it. xD
Also I'm a big fan of the "A boy and his dog" trope, so would it be possible to have a young character with an animal companion?
Sure! A dog would be fun!
And what time era are the kids from?

@Mokley how large of a group are you thinking? We've got 8 people interested right now, counting myself.
