How many players do you have on your island?

[UglyMonsterFace]

I have 4 total! I thought it would be fun if we all introduced our players on our islands, since a lot of us have multiple characters playing. What is their back story (if any) and what purpose do they serve?

My island representative is the character that represents me. So she has medium light skin and I fluctuate between black and brown hair. I just dress her up in whatever outfit I find cute, or sometimes funny and silly. Her storage is 100% clothing and she is the one I'm focusing on completion. She has all the current DIYs, complete furniture catalogue, and she does all the crafting so she can complete her crafting goals. She is the only one who is allowed to donate to the museum.

The second character I created was Koh. They are technically genderless, but can take the form of a female or a male and can be called male and female pronouns, depending on how they present. They are based off of the face stealer spirit from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They shapeshift so sometimes they can be a vampire, a witch, and right now, they're a purple monster. Koh is meant to be the scary being on my island. I really wanted to have a haunted/horror themed house, so I thought Koh would be the perfect character! As a function, Koh stores all my extra furniture, unorderables, fish and bugs for models, and rare DIYs like crowns, wreaths and seasonal ones, for when I decide to trade. They are the first to receive dupe DIYs to learn. Because Koh has all the furniture already, they are my main terraformer/decorator.

Next up is Beedle, obviously named after the shop keeper in a lot of Zelda games! His house will be shop themed, and on the beach. His storage is full of materials and he's responsible for providing these materials for my other characters whenever they need it. He also has extra tools from Nook's Cranny so if one of mine break, I don't have to wait until my favourite variant is in stock before I can have it again. All the holdable items also go in his storage, such as fans, the champagne, poppers, etc. I intend to leave these around the island for dream visitors when I finally upload my dream, so I like to keep lots in stock. He gets all the hand me down DIYs from Koh to learn (no special ones) and also stores them for when I decide to trade them eventually. He also keeps all my extra fossils - I have at least one of each, in case I ever need to decorate with them.

Last one (for now) is Jeffwee, who is based off my boyfriend. He lives in a tent with the pollution and garbage. He has bugs in his house, a bucket of water, and a toilet. He hasn't been upgraded to a house so he isn't useful for storing anything. It was just a funny joke with my bf and I really like it. Who knows if I'll ever give him a proper house. Maybe my bf can actually decorate it himself! But for right now, he is a homeless visitor. He doesn't get any DIYs to learn either.

Those are all the characters I have right now. I like it a lot because I have 4 chances to do Gulliver/arr's tasks, make 4 models at a time, plant 4 money trees a day, buy out Redd's stock, etc. I actually fully intend on having all 8 player houses on my island eventually. They will all have different house themes, and will be based on characters I love, mostly from Zelda and Avatar. It definitely is tedious to do dailies on 4 characters, but I think having the extra storage and houses to decorate is very worth it.

So how about you guys? How many players do you have, and what did you create them for?

 

[John Wick]

Two.

I'm John Wick, and my wife is Sofia (Sofia Al-Azwar, Halle Berry's character from John Wick: Parabellum).

We're assassins.

 

[Noel_in_Sunrise]

Three. Just in case Redd has three real artworks when he visits.

I only actually play my main. I use my second character to store certain things (like event furniture out of season). My third allows me to have a tent in my campgrounds.

 

[JellyBeans]

I’ve got two! there’s my island rep, me, who is the primary character I play on. I have a second character who for whatever reason I named Lorenzo. It’s very rare that I play using him - I mainly introduced him to the island because I wanted to design a house as a seaside cafe inspired by this video I watched, but I am often too lazy to switch accounts so a lot of his house is largely unfinished haha

 

[Pyoopi]

It's just me. I didn't have any plans on making more characters whether for story or more storage space.

 

[Neb]

I have two. One's for me and the other is for one of my moms. She likes to play sometimes and joke about how tiny her house is compared to mine. I gave her a huge piece of land by the airport along with 2,000,000 bells and she still wants more money.

 

[daringred_]

just one. i could never share an island with another person, it would probably drive me mad, and i don't have a need for additional characters. it's not like i couldn't add them, i just don't particularly want to, especially not this late into the game. there isn't enough room for more player houses, i don't need the storage space after the latest update, and i'd never play using those characters anyway so it'd just be a waste. i made a second character in one of my NL towns for storage and regretted it, but never had the heart to delete her, and it's not an experience i'm looking (or need) to repeat.

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

my main island sleeptime has two, me and my gf. ive thought about deleting her however because she never wants to play (she only made one because she loves me and knew i wanted her to try and play) but she does love that shes on the island for events so i keep her

otherwise raindrop i only intend on ever having me. i could never share my islands with an actual active player, i like having the complete freedom to make whatever i want. plus nintendo made two player suck so it isnt even fun playing together with my gf due to limitations

oh and about them, theyre both based off of myself, mostly because on sleeptime i hadnt chosen my name yet (irl name) so its outdated and nintendo doesnt let you change your name so it makes me uncomfortable to see

 

[peachycrossing9]

I have 2!

My island rep, who is me and the character I play the most. She is supposed to be based off of me, but I haven't made her look anything like me... She has pink hair, and I have brown hair irl. I used my real name for that character. I login in as her everyday. This is the character that I focus on the most and am trying to complete everything with. She does all of the fishing, bug catching, crafting... I have almost completed the catalog, and have almost got all the current diy's.
Her house matches with the theme of my island, which is fairycore.

My second character was a random decision that I made to make her, because I wanted to have that extra storage space. I also really enjoying interior designing, so having a second character has also given me an excuse to decorate another house.
I only login as this character every couple of days.
She's not really based off of anyone, but I would say she looks more like me than my island rep does.
Her house is the opposite of fairycore. It's more of a cozy cottage style. It's almost fully expanded. I just need to get the basement.
I don't focus on completion for this character currently.

 

[Mairmalade]

I only have my island rep, though I do like the idea of having multiple characters to build on an island’s narrative. I’ve been thinking about placing a couple of character tents on the beach to act as shops.

I would never actually play as one of the additional characters because one is more than enough for me!

 

[KittenNoir]

I have my island rep which is my character and a second character which is my husbands.

I like the different ideas people are making using other characters houses I have seen hotels and castles and they look amazing

 

[moonlights]

just one, myself. I have been tempted to create another character and just have it for decoration but my island is a mess atm and I need to work out where it'd fit in.

 

[Xara]

currently, i’ve got three but plan to eventually delete one, knocking it back down to two aha. since one isn’t permanent, i’ll just introduce the ones who are. :’)

xara (island rep)
this elmo burning gal is my island rep and is meant to represent me. she doesn’t really have a backstory since well,, she’s me and so my backstory is her backstory, too lol. in previous games, my characters were never representative of me and while my island rep isn’t an exact replica (one of us has fingers and it’s not her ), i’ve tried my best to essentially make her an in-game version of me in terms of style, appearance, etc and i think i’ve done alright aha. since she’s my island rep, she gets to do everything on the island; all the decorating, island hopping, event participation, museum donations and all that jazz. :>

juniper (side character)
to be honest, i don’t have much to say about juniper yet as i haven’t really spent much time on her. i plan on developing a personality for her so that she’s not just another island decoration and while i haven’t gotten very far, i have a general idea of who i’d like her to be. she’s a flirty, confident, playful girl who really likes nature. she’s always in good spirits and is the embodiment of a safe space; she might be covered in dirt or bouncing off the walls but she’s never judgmental and she’s just always there, y’know? i’ll likely work on her character + house once i’ve got my stuff figured out but until then, i’ll just commission art of her whenever i can and fawn over how gorgeous she is. but in-game, she honestly isn’t going to have much purpose except giving me 6 more rooms to decorate and holding some stuff in storage but i’m still happy to have her around. :’)

 

[BunburyBrianna]

I share my island with my boyfriend, so he has a character, and my twin also made a character when Tangy moved in (their favourite villager), even though they don't play unless I am visiting them. Sharing is proving to be difficult since I am a control freak - my boyfriend put a giant robot statue near the plaza and I had to bite my tongue because even though it isn't my aesthetic, he enjoys it.
I've never been one to make multiple houses when I have a town/island to myself, but that's just me.

 

[Tiffany]

I have 3, my main and 2 others that I use for collecting. I made the other 2 just for getting extra art from Redd. But then I realized I could also use them for extra diys, gulliver/vaar items and mom items. Otherwise they really dont get played.

 

[Jam86]

i did have 4 but i deleted one so now i'm back down to 3 ☆

my other 2 characters are basically just there for decoration, but i also get extra storage, items from gulliver/gullivarr and paintings from redd so that's cool too

 

[watercolorwish]

3 including me, my island rep. The other 2 are for extra buildings, a café and Inn. But also for Redd’s visits.

 

[JKDOS]

4 counting my rep . 2 of the players don't have houses/tents. They live in the town hall. I love how they are present in my Dream, so even though I don't play with those characters, they are a part of the island. I set them up with specific comments and let them be.

 

[Bluebellie]

I have three characters right now. Would ideally love to have 5 (so the map images are all aligned and perfect, but I can’t think of names right now).
My island Representative is Morticia. She is a funeral director. That’s what her house will be inside once I start decorating. She doesn’t quite look like me , but it’s the character I love playing as the most. It’s the character in my avatar. I’ve been playing her character since new leaf. Her color scheme is Black. Wears black clothing and black hair. This is my main character so she is tbt e one I prioritize doing cataloging for and diy completion.

I also have Malady. She is a nurse. Her house is a hospital. Her color scheme is Pink. Her house is pink, and her outfit is pink as well.

Then I also have Minerva. She is a teacher or a student. I have not decided just yet. Her house exterior is yellow. Her interior will be a school house once I start decorating. I just recently created her, so I haven’t really figured out what she will look like just yet.

My extra characters aren’t really meant to be to help with the island. I like them for decoration purposes. They get the extra diy I have already learned if I’m playing their characters. They also assist with museum donations.

These are all my characters. I don’t share the game or switch with anyone else. I’m too picky at some things and giving other people power over my island, I wouldn’t be able to handle that.

 

[Livia]

I have 5 characters total, but split between my 2 islands. I try to play them all everyday at least for a few minutes, but sometimes I don’t have the patience to go through another Isabelle announcement.

My main island has 2 characters, my rep Livia and my second character Ophelia. I originally made Ophelia for storage and so I could decorate a second house, but I enjoy playing her.

my second island has 3 currently, my rep Amelie and other characters Myrnin and Lilith. I plan to eventually have 5 characters on that island but I haven’t yet decided on names or looks for the other 2.
