Starting character/character limits

[CyMoahk]

Since I can't actually reply to the FAQ thread, I'll ask here:
--Besides staying away from angels, is there any recommendation/limitation regarding what class (public/protected/private) our first character(s) can be?
--What's the limit to how many characters we can make, and is that limit dependent on what classes our characters are?

You can have as many characters as you want, provided that you can actually keep them up. If you make too many and can't keep up with them, you're not going to get another character approved, so that's the effective character limit. Public characters don't actually need to be approved, so you can make as many as you like theoretically. Your first character should be private or protected though, since you aren't allowed on the RP boards without a private or protected character.
