This is meant to be a reference for both me and the people I RP with about my characters. I will try to list any character I have used in past RPs, so when they are encountered again, I and others will be able to read a little bit about them. These will range from my nation's leaders to your average joe who was featured in an RP. I'm hoping this will help me build a solid base of characters with their own personality and traits, a lot like seeing the same characters on a tv show every week.
