Hi, here is an updated list of characters. Some are current, some are in and out and some are simply fond or not so fond memories. Real historical characters have been omitted from the list as I see no reason to include them.
Please note that I am sure characters have, been omitted as I simply forgot to include them.
Thanks for reading and for the comments.
Also, please if possible consider a donation to Nifty as these free stories are not actually free to publish.
