    Default Re: Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends

    Updated through 1213
    Durkon Allotrope Thundershield, Greyview, Kraagor (as statue) (as animated statue), Minrah Elle Shaleshoe (as Large Size), Oona, Redcloak

    Redcloak has now appeared in as many online strips as Nale. If Nale isn't careful, he'll lose his status as the main villain of the comic.

    I've added in "alternate magical forms" entries for Team Peregrine Commander and Team Peregrine Lieutenant for when each of them were imploded, and made a couple of other minor tweaks not worth mentioning (spelling and stuff).

    Edit: I'd like to revive the discussion about tweaking the categories we place each character in. Back in May, I proposed raising the threshold for who counts as a "supporting" or "secondary" character, but after 2.5 cats replied, the conversation quite understandably turned elsewhere when somebody raised the question of whether martianmister might still be alive. I think it's a question worth bringing up again, though.

    Here's 2.5 cats's suggestion for a new set of categories:

    Major: 60+
    Secondary: 30 - 59
    Supporting: 20 - 29
    Recurring: 11 - 19 (If you're feeling ambitious, make it 10 - 19).
    Personally, I think this is the best solution. I was going to suggest making the Supporting Characters bracket a bit wider, but I noticed that that would make the Secondary Characters bracket a little too small. Besides, characters like Gontor, Eugene and Sigdi seem more like Secondary Characters than Supporting ones anyway.

    Ah yes, the Dungeon-Kruger effect.
