A better Zarathustra has never rode a horse

I'm starting to realize that, with Ulgania alone I'm starting to forget certain characters exist. This has led me to start rereading a good number of RPs I've been involved in over the last year or so to see how many are dead or alive, or even useful. A colonel here, a general there, a couple bounty hunters, some dignitaries... it's a bit of a mess. I'm just wondering if anyone else who uses lots of people has any special way of staying on top of everything. I'm thinking of throwing a spreadsheet together or something for now. |

That'd probably be best, sometimes and especially when I really put effort into developing a character, I'll write down the specifics of the Character in a notebook or something and keep in round and handy. Otherwise I'll just make up people as I go along, especially when it comes to low-level ambassadors, military personnel, and other characters not directly associated with the main cast of leaders and their governments. |

I'd expect that you'd have the most saved away, especially after reading your Peacock stories. I do have scattered notes on various characters, but it's usually far too scattered. |

I have lists here and there, but mostly I keep my important characters in my head, whom usually resemble close friends and popular figures. |
