On Playing Multiple Characters...

In my latest femdom RP, I just got another character to control and I love it, was a great idea by my partner to introduce them and looking like they are permanent. Don't mind in the slightest, definitely going to be great for the sex scenes and the story both!
 
We generally control most character except our main(s). I rarely have more than two mains, generally one. We ask each other before doing something too out of character. We might have some Scs we do not "lend" or just as a mention.
 
It's good. I have the Game of Thrones mentality; if you have a lot to get invested in, you can afford to lose a few (or more) in the plot. Although I like single-character playing too. All about what the scene needs.
 
Actually I enjoy it greatly. Also I tend to have one main character, I feel to do proper „world building“ it is fun to add a support cast and make them meaningful and develop them properly. Basically doing the GM part of the whole thing can be as fun as „pure playing“ I think.
 
My attitude changes a bit over time. Overall it sums pretty easily though. I think 2 mains + whatever NPCs is a widely accepted minimum on the site. People are generally willing to give a little effort to sides as they need. The nuance I feel comes with multiple side characters and/or mains. Be they sides with depth who can become POV or regularly used POVs. I can do several of the latter, sometimes it's much more fun that way - as long as it fits. Because some ideas really do work best with just two mains to explore the scene/story at hand. Grand adventure's cool, but there's a lot to interpersonal dynamics.
 
I've played multiple characters many, many times. In a League of Legends roleplay I'm doing, my partner and I are using as much of the cast as possible for the story. But, we realized that using so many at once would make story progression take far longer--mostly my fault, lol--so we're working on doing two pairs of people at a time, with supporting characters able to chime in during conversations but not have the primary perspective for the replies.

I tend to only to 1-on-1 for one-shot's unless my partners and I really show some excellent chemistry in the plotting stage, which is becoming increasingly rare. I'd like to try dungeon master someday, maybe for Star Wars, but I'm just not finding enough women requesting that sort of thing.
 
I like it at times, the extra character(s) are supporting roles so to speak and just help the plot along. Other times the extra character might be played by myself and my partner as required. Or not directly played at all but just mentioned if that makes sense.
 
I think I'm pretty humble compared to a lot of ideas here. For me, 1 on 1 can be a very fulfilling (maybe short) story with only a little mention of outsiders. I try to feel out the ones I have, so the more you add the more that's gonna get tricky.

...I'm still willing to try 2, 3, maybe 5, rotating cast in the right circumstances ^.^ Side characters aren't a bother and take different stuff anyways it's fair to say. There's multiple for utility, there's sides, there's the main people in view...
 
It depends a lot how it is done. I do enjoy playing multiple characters as I feel like it makes it easier to make the world feel more alive and it brings more depth to the story when the main characters don't live in a vacuum.

However what I've often encountered is when people want me to play a harem for them, where they only play one character and want me to play tons of others surrounding and all wanting their single one. I don't mind the thought in sexual sense, but more often than not it also leaves the whole story building on my shoulders where the only thing they bring into the scenes is how they fuck the different characters I play for them, and even then, they mostly do it the same way with all of them 😔
 
It depends on which worlds it is set in, if i am trully interested, i can indulge myself to play more than one character.

Keep in mind, i never create more accounts than only one for that.
 
I agree with Snowflake above, 100%, regarding harems. I wouldn't mind playing multiple partners if you didn't do the exact same thing with every single one of them.

As for playing multiple characters in general; I'm fine with it. But there's only three reasons for which I would agree to it because it IS more work than just the one character.

1. Doubling Up in the same RP. It's rare, but sometimes someone wants to play a 2x2 sort of thing, or 3x3, and I'm fine with that. Trying out different dynamics with the same writer in the same storyline can be fun.
2. DMing/STing. I don't do it a lot nowadays, but I'm down to play the dungeon master or story teller to a small group, and take on the duty of handling the NPCs.
3. Fill In The Void. Sometimes the plot just... feels too empty with the two characters alone in a vacuum. If its necessary, sure; I'll add another character into the mix to spice things up.

In any of those cases though, one thing remains constant; I have creative control over my characters, and you over your own. Multi-Chara =/= I can just fuck with the secondary characters indiscriminately.

Admittedly, I'm guilty of wanting that. But I always make the effort of crafting the story so that no two scenes are ever the same, sexually or otherwise. I'm greedy. >.>
 
Almost always play multiple characters, it adds more dynamism to the plot. It's also enjoyable if they're opposites or enemies of each other, in the sense that I can be both the evil committing [whatever] on the [F] RPer but also alongside her as an [M] character also suffering.

I do find there's a bit of a limit. Once I'm past three in-depth characters or maybe one or two in-depth characters and one or two more semi-important side characters, it can get a bit unwieldy. I do have RPs that involve groups and try to keep it to a few "main" characters and then add in the background characters as needed
 
So the handling of multiple characters...there lies the rub, how does one deal with the sheer amount of multiples? There are many ways of going about answering this. I suppose for me...it stems from a comfortable flow to the situation at hand. I have to have a strong grasp of the scenes and of course the characters. If I am dealing with face claim, celeb claim, originals there is a bit more freedom as they don't have ties to any existing lore apart from what myself and my rp partner make up.

Now canons themselves can be tricky lest you are dealing with AU because figuring out how they work with the given plot. Needless to say these days I don't do multiple characters unless my rp partner can also handle rping multiple characters. I like the idea of myself and my rp partner either playing around in a created world or an original one we make ourselves. Dealing with said characters we can explore so many avenues but it can be tiring so it has to be done when said characters need to be involved. Considering I am a nsfw rper aka smut or lemon centric, having said characters at the ready can make for some steamy things going down, but, again long as it isn't overused and such...should be fine.

I like the concept of swapping out characters at certain intervals and of course in other situations having scenes of smut and setting aside scenes with characters who aren't looking to get on top of each other so like friends who have nothing getting them riled up and looking to bed the other. Have a grasp of the characters and everything should fall into place.
