I have a lot of characters, though I normally play as-
1. Ebo, a mature bull elephant who is normally on musth
2. Sylvester, a young bachelor stallion.
3. Everett, my poacher.
Then everyone else (Thornstar, Adair, Iniko, Cae) get played once and awhile. I might have them walk around, though they rarely manage to get into a roleplay.
