 4c. Use the in-game character editor and fix the profile images for your own custom characters.


How to use: 

When starting a game, click the Bulk Settings option and make them all Wanderers so you don't have to set every character individually.


--- NOTES ---

Most of these characters are fairly weak so that we could watch them die.
No serious planning went into them, just guessing up some numbers that felt ok.
A few of them are as strong as the best non-god 2hus.
They are also stocked up with lots of SLG skills.

The core stats (str and stamina) are centered around 2500/1500/2000 
The social aggression stats were left at zero for all but a few.
Fans of the characters are welcome to rebalance them.

There are no events or text associated with these characters since we don't
how how to do that.


Major changes since the last release: 

About a dozen new characters added.
Sexual sensitivity and related attributes raised to 1 for teens, 2 for adults.
Maria and Pandora can no longer summon Ran. She is too powerful and it triggers 100% of the time.
Lina and Emet-Selch had their Magic power reduced.
Fatman was slightly nerfed but is still very powerful. 

How do they spread out in power? Sorting by sum of 4 combat skills: 
Page 1 (Gods, comparable to Okina, Nue): Nobody
Page 2 (Super Powerful, comparable to Tenshi, Seiga): just Fatman 
Page 3 (Very Powerful, comparable to Myouren to Marisa): eight characters
Page 4 (Powerful, comparable to Satono, Kutaka, Yuugi): nine characters
Page 5 (C Rank backups, comparable to Pink Mai, Yuki, Minamitsu): fourteen characters 
Page 6 (comparable to Mokou , Parsee, Suika): nineteen characters
Page 7 (comparable to Hina, Kotohime, Patchouli): sixteen characters 
Page 8 (comparable to Akyuu, Aunn, Ellen, Saki): nineteen characters
Page 9 (D rank weaklings comparable to Kana, Forune-Teller): sixteen characters
Page 10 (comparable to Louise, Benben, Ruukoto): sixteen characters
Page 11 (E rank weaklings comparable to Letty, Shizuha): thirteen characters
Page 12 (comparable to Kagerou, Kogasa): twelve characters
Page 13 (comparable to Jumpy Villager, Goliath Doll): twelve characters
Page 14 (bottom of the barrel: Kurumi, the fairies): five characters 
Page 15 is only autogenerated placeholders for future children, no actual characters
 
I don't know how star rankings are calculated, but everyone reaches 7+ stars by end game. I think skills are counted.
10: Emet-Selch, Fatman, and Lina Inverse, so that's three against 29 2hus 
9: Duke Nukem, Engineer, Gay Bowser, Mael Radec, Neko Arc, Wadanohara, so 6 against 24 2hus 
8: seventeen characters, vs 17 2hus
7: twenty-four characters, vs 9 2hus
6: twenty characters, vs 13 2hus 
5: twenty-five, vs 8 2hus
4: twenty-two, vs 11 2hus 
3: eighteen, vs 16 2hus 
2: eighteen, vs 14 2hus
1: five, vs 23 2hus
