For me personally, I've always intended to cap out at 3 characters. (I have 2 and eventually I'll make my Outlander, but not until I've got Freina a bit more established.) That's just because I don't think I could do more characters than that justice. I don't want to overextend myself.
Now, characters can (and do!) die, and so the bigger question is "would I ever play a Fae?" And the answer to that is... maaaybe? I'm with Brit on this: I get why Fae are pretty hostile to humans given what's gone on, but it's still been really hard for me to thread with Fae characters. So, given the difficulty of playing a Fae who hates/is wary of basically all the other characters, I'm not really going to use one of my (admittedly self-imposed) "slots" on one.
I'm more interested in Attuned and Ascended (now that I have an Accepted and an Abandoned) than in Fae, and even Ascended kind of seem like a higher difficulty setting, to use video game terms. Fae seem even more difficult than that, and it just doesn't feel like something I'm looking for.
If that "f*ck off hoomies" attitude was gone? Then it's probably the level cap. Part of the reason I joined this site instead of a different RP one (aside from the awesome worldbuilding) is the leveling & stats mechanics. So if Fae top out at level 5, what's beyond that for them?
