Oh, quite common on the Internet.
I am known by many names, but the most common are: Arcblade, Arc Moonblade, Sabir, and Musica. The first is short for the second, but you probably realizied that.
How the second name came to be is an interesting story, but I digress. Of the four, I think Musica is the only gender obvious name, and it's vaguely feminine. Which is perhaps why I only use it occasionally.
No, generally I don't care enough to bother explaining whether I'm male or female. People on the Internet will treat you as male by default unless they figure out otherwise or don't care enough to think about it. I've done this kinda thing... thrice now, I guess. I figured I might get some amusement and some interesting reactions with the truth. Stupid points for all, y'know?

Heh. ;D
Well, I've got to go... and I couldn't respond to the last post, for some reason...

I don't think I ever pick a feminine name....maybe on the rare occasion. About 95% of the names I choose are my character's names. The only others are Gruetzner Chihuahua, SuperScoobyGirl, and Oogie Boogie. Gruetzner's and Taqueria Chihuahua are places in Giddings, and combining the two just sounded fun. XD Oogie Boogie was at RPU, but only because I made a rule about moderaters changing their names, and it'd be kinda awkward if I broke it myself. SSG..because..well..I consider myself the world's biggest Scooby fan. ^__^ Had lots of stuff custom made for me, and I know pretty much everything there is to know about anything Scooby related.
Other names are all OC names. Invader Fox/Fox, Aara, Velociraptor, Gavial, Alex, OddBall/Sydney, Pooky, PyroKat/pk1337, Fuego and Jax/Jax the Dragonslayer are the most common ones. I usually just tend to stick with Invader Fox, pk1337 and OddBall, though.

Heh. ;D Pk1337? Hehehe... I always try to go by Faith, or something related, whenever I pick a name to use on the Internet. Sometimes the number 39 is included... That's for this forum, games, my Gmail, and certain accounts on things such as Photoshop. So, yeah, almost everything... Not as much variety, but much simpler.  |

I usually stick with Arcblade. It's quicker to type than Arc Moonblade, and Musica and Sabir are recent developments.

Dragyn, DragynWulf, DragynLord, or, occasionally, Mhero or Kheros.
Once, Syndren. Only once.

Is Syndren another one of your characters?

Syndren is a character in PE. I believe you've seen him, though I doubt I told you who he was.

The name sounds very familiar, in fact, I know I've heard it, looking back... but I seem unable to match the face to the name...
There are so many characters!
Does he play a big part in PE?

His part has yet to be completely decided. He's one of those characters whose influence is a bit of a wild card. There are some fairly important things he'll do, but we'll see (both ya'll and I) whether or not he ends up doing more than just those.

All right, sounds like a plan. Kinda... I'm not sure we'll even know whether he does more or less, even as he does it, but, yeah, we'll see. About how many characters would you say you have, in an estimation, or guess? |

Sum total, including minor/supporting characters? I'd guess...150.
Major characters, I'd guess only about 15, and some of them will likely end up being amalgamated with each other to keep things simple.

Geez!
So now I get more of why you said you didn't want to make so many of the individuals you drew into oficial characters, or anything... no matter how cool they looked...
All right, I think that, somewhere, you called the most common type of character you draw a werewolf. It was what I thought, but I guess I'm weird, and decide I don't know anything until it's certain...
Do they ever actually become "people?"

I...don't recall having said that. A lot of the ones who exist as random sketches are werewolves, though only a very few of the actual characters are. I try to keep them diverse, for varying reasons.
Though, yes. A lot of characters tend to exist as sketches, and sketches only. I like to draw cool characters, but if I made 'em all into characters, there wouldn't be any room for a plot.

Plot's important. ^_^
