...Geez Flash, what kind of stories do you make, to reach that size of rosters? Not even my Judgement had that big of a character roster, and last time I checked, (in the prototype version anyway) there were at least 23 characters I intended to be part of the story.

Or, was that a hyperbole?

OCs put in secondary roles or used as "NPCs", whether they deserve bashing or not depends on how they're written. They can contribute to the story right, or end up being a Zwei to the fanfic. In other words, unnecesary.

As for the OCs having facets of you, I may have done the same. Would it count as a self-insert if an OC had a veeery similar personality and appearance as me and was done in a more realistic way than usual (in this case, weak, traitorous, pragmatist, at times liar, and almost non-existent Aura), yet had a completely different background than me?
