* Tossing out limits on how many characters you have, except where they pertain to kings and kirin. We are going to need A LOT of NPCs for this game.
I kind of all sorts of love this. I'm a person who, if they play social characters, TONS of background people end up popping up. One of my pet peeves is how many 'social butterfly' characters there are in games, yet all their non-game contacts are faceless shadows. If you play a 15 year old girl in America, for example, chances are she will have someone or someoneZZZZ that she calls 'bestie' 'bff' or what have you. They should have a name, a personality, and an offscreen way of affecting her.
I've played in rps where you were allowed to not only make npc's, but if applicable, play them (usually for brief periods of time). I always took advantage of that and, usually, ended up NPC'ing for other people. Also, I like to make those utterly insane and sometimes socially retarded people we all marvel and gawk at. Fun to NPC, not very interesting to play.
ALSO: How far are you in Pokemon? I'm about to get my third badge, but I also obsessively level. I'm having trouble committing to Pokemon. That damn lillipup/herdier is too useful and, while in the long run, I know it'll be better to put a good tri-evolving water type in my party, I'm having trouble letting my only remaining normal type go!
