Seeing as the list of characters will prove to be extensive, what would be a
good way to categorize it (similiar question to structures)? My thoughts on the
general segregation so far are:
1) Villager - your standard folks
2) Knight - your warriors by profession (part of bigger whole)
3) Rogue - lone adventure seekers
4) Leader - the main person in a group of any kind
5) Warrior - a lone Knight
6) Sailor - sails the Legoceania
7) Merchant - sells goods or services
8) Traveler - wanders the known land
9) Explorer - seeks to discover the unknown land
10) Outlaw - wanted by the law in a specific kingdom - or all of them?
11) Servant - serves Royalty
12) Royalty - Kings, Queens, Barons, Lords, etc...
13) Priest or Priestess - uses non-attacking Magic, as well as your regular
church minifig (healers, etc)
14) Sorcerer or Sorceress - plenty of attacking Magic, fortune teller, etc.
15) Public Servant - Judges, etc...
I'm sure I'm missing something, but for example wizard would be a subcategory of
Sorcerer, as would Necromancer, mage, etc... Thanks for your input.
