PLEASE reply to this topic letting us know if your character's affiliation, occupation, or I suppose orientation changes. The latter two are nice, but affiliation is rather important. Birthday alerts are appreciated as well but are easy enough to track ourselves if you don't. Thank you. 'x3
Out of curiousity, SG conducted a statistical survey, and thought some of you may find the results useful or at least interesting. I'll try to keep this topic updated at least once a month or so. ^^
Including all 241 approved full characters (no NPCs or WIPs), VC's character base currently has the following stats, as of the 8:00pm EST, Oct 22, 2011.
(Activity of players is not factored unless the character has been archived; all bios in the approved character board are counted.)
AGE
Youngest: Wess's Wess and Orcakit's Silver at 5.
Oldest: Jay's Lance at 59.
Most Common Age: 18 / 21
'Average' Age: 20
Actual Ages:
GENDER:
Male: 122
Female: 118
Whitney: 1 (*SHOT* It's biologically male, btw. x3 ...We're not sure, physically.)
ORIENTATION:
(Note: Kids who just aren't interested yet will be listed as unknown as opposed to asexual; the latter will only be listed for those old enough to show interest who simply lack it or choose to ignore/shun it.)
Straight: 132
Bi: 47
Gay: 8
Lesbian: 5
Pan: 11
Asexual: 9
Demisexual: 3
Unknown/Unsure: 26
AFFILIATION:
Notes: 'Other' refers to those who do have some stand/opinion on the conflict but don't identify with any particular group. Neutral are those listed as neutral or who do not have anything listed. 'Noble-supporters' refers to chars who are not noble-born but support the non-royal nobility (whether they also support royalty or not).
If a character belonged to more than one affiliation, such as a loyalist noble, etc, they were listed as all applicable. These results are also being a little bit generous with anything that COULD be taken as an affiliation other than neutral being counted as it, even.
Nobles: 40
Male: 22
Female: 18
Noble-supporters: 15
Male: 8

Gang: 18
Male: 11
Female: 7
Other: 26
Male: 18
Female: 8
Neutral: 92
Male: 46
Female: 46
OCCUPATION:
Not counting trainers, given the premise of the site, or plot-related positions like Count or gang member. x3 Just for fun, really, as these could be anything. (Read: You are not limited to these in making new characters. x3 Apparently there was minor confusion on that.) Also includes past careers if the player felt them major enough to list in the Occ section, as well as professions people don't actually have but are seriously working on getting or do as amateurs as more than a hobby. ;P (Ex: A char that just likes to draw won't be listed as an artist, but one who sells his/her work at school sometimes would be.)

Notes
Sept 12, 2010: First survey. 67 characters.
Oct 26, 2010: Since Sept 12, we've gained 26 characters and lost 1 (Marcella, former western Duchess, is currently removed from database; she'll be added back to stats if re-instated).
Feb 11, 2011: Since October, we've gained 38 characters, including Marcella back. (Actually she's not officially back at the time I'm doing this, but she's going to be, even if only briefly before dying, so meh. May as well. x3) Added occupations this survey. Specified a few more alignments.
Apr 9, 2011: Since February, SG has realized she really needs to keep up with this better, and that Jay is invaluable at helping. *SHOT* Also, we've gained 35 characters and lost 2. This time as we went through, Affiliations and Occupations were separated and clarified in any bios that hadn't already done so, and birthdays were added to those without, so things should be much more accurate from here on.
June 4, 2011:: Since April, SG has realized this is probably going to be every two months. *shot* Ah well. Also, we've gained 21 characters.
Oct 22, 2011: Since June, SG has given up on predicting timing of this. Also, we've gained ___ characters. The Butler occupation has been removed and relisted as Servant to include maids and other general unspecified servant roles.
Feel free to chat about the results here. ;3

Saying "SG rants a lot" is like saying "Longcat is long".
Though you actually have one straight AND one unknown who might be straight (listed as unknown).
