I don't know where to put this, but I got curious, What do you all think?
I have one myself, but I want to know how anyone willing to answer feels about it, I personally don't mind it because someone who likes to rp (like me) might have a number of characters.. Personally I have over 500 characters, NOT a figurative number, that I can use, all different in some way or another... But I saw one person I was going to start an RP with had a profile with multiple characters and I was like, Heyyy that's a freaking awesome idea.
Long story I know sorry, but what do y'all think?

I have a pair that shares a profile! They're almost always RPed together, so it seemed less troublesome to have them share a profile rather than post twice from two different profiles.
It's also useful for when you have too many characters, you can drop a couple into one profile. I don't mind when people do and RP with them just as much, but be cautious with how many you cram into one profile. Just because you have a lot of widgets, and text doesn't get capped until you hit a high word count, doesn't mean you should utilize every drop of resource available. Keeping your profiles neatly organized and easy to read through is important. People's interest can get lost very quickly if they have to wade through 20 characters in one profile, spread chaotically across just 5 pages, just to find something they like, or even to get to the character they're playing with.
Personally, I suggest no more than 5 characters on a single profile, each with its own dedicated page. Use the character's name as the page title so people can get to it easily. If you play pairs that are never separated (like Avary and Connery here), you could probably put both of them on one page together still. Any more than that and it's almost guaranteed to drive interested RP partners away.

I tired to keep it down, but with how many I have its hard to do that.. Though I do agree with you..it might be a pain the rear to do it like I have been
It's totally up to you how you do it, of course. You might want to keep an eye out for Epic Week this month, it starts on April 24 and there are contests that everyone can participate in. The prizes usually include Epicness and extra character slots and the like. 
That could help you out.
