Inspired by "tag yourself" sort of stuff, I decided to see if I could describe my current characters in exactly four bullet points. All 19 of them. As an exercise in being concise with my fleshed-out characters, finding descriptions (no matter how silly) for my undeveloped characters, and generally just getting something out there without thinking too hard.
The results of this exercise under the cut. In roughly descending order of how developed they are.
