First of all, I am not entirely sure if it is even allowed to post with one of your characters, then post with another right afterward, but hypothetically saying it is, do you like to play more than one character per thread? Are the others episodic characters, or they have their own profiles? If they do, do you still put them together in one post or make (an extensive) post on each one separately? Is is comfortable for you that way or sometimes you feel burdened by it? And do you like or dislike if other person is playing more than one character with you?
Personally, I have always liked playing various characters at the same time, the interactions between them help me convey them both, move the story onward. Recently, I started playing two in same thread, but since I've run out of character slots, one is just a 'NPC' and I came to realization, if he would gain profile, posting would take twice as long, since I would need to make post on both character behalf. Somehow, I am not sure if I am keen on the idea (even though I want this character to have a profile). Before RPR, it was never problem, because I played under one player account and characters didn't have posting accounts on their own.

Double posting is discouraged in regular chat threads, simply because it's so easy to turn into spam! But if it's a legit RP topic and you post with multiple characters, it's absolutely 100% fine. 
As for what I feel about it, it depends. I put two characters who are inseparable into one profile. I will always post with that profile, even if it's just one of them in the scene. The reason is because they interact constantly, so two profiles would be redundant and indeed annoying to post twice. I do mark their speech in separate colors (green for Ave, brown for Con) to make it less confusing.
Others will heavily depend... I don't have many who would be involved in one place at the same time, save for maybe Killain and Sinnice. But I post separately as them. It allows for two scenes to play out at the same time and join at a later point in the timeline. It's fun!
(I also moved the topic to RP discussion, since it relates directly to roleplaying!)

Good to know about the role play threads, then. Thank you for clarification.
I have some characters that are stuffed on same profile, they all are related in some way, but could do very well with their own profiles, since (as my twins Iantha and Saien) they ARE played separately most of the time. They used to be on separate ones, but I moved them in together for space saving reasons.
It's nice to see someone who also plays more than one character per role play, I have met some who deeply disliked doing that and interacting with players who like to do that, so I even included it in my profile, so people are 'warned'.
Sorry about that, I looked in role play discussion and it looked only like game search on first page pretty much. xD

I don't have any truly inseparable characters, but I do have mother/child pairs on occasion. Obviously they go places without one another (especially mom) so they do have separate profiles, but if they are being played together, I usually play as the one that's going to be doing more and mention the other in the same posts. Every once in awhile I'll throw in a link on the other one's name to their profile, just to remind people how to get there if they want to review it.
That is actually a good idea, Kim! And since the activity changes, they both get some direct 'screentime'. I like that, I will keep it in mind.
