An update.

kd7sovI decided, after my last post, to do some specific research. My numbers may be off, but probably by no more than five in any case.
There are, apparently, more Golden Sun RP journals than I thought. I was able to find 46, including my own.
Isaac: 6
Garet: 2
Ivan: 7 (probably; one could be either Ivan or Sheba; I suspect Ivan.)
Mia: 4
Felix: 5 (one Garcia*)
Jenna: 4
Sheba: 2
Piers: 7 (two Picard*)
Saturos: 1
Menardi: 2
Karst: 3
Agatio: 0
Alex: 3
*The people who translated Golden Sun into English were... a bit loose with the names. Isaac was originally Robin; Felix was Garcia; Jenna was Jasmine... Piers is a special case, having three names: Piers, Picard, and Leon. I'm not sure why he has three. I think there were a few other changes, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.
Of these, seventeen were created for a single long-dead (indeed, stillborn) GS-specific RP with an utterly warped premise. Three have PBs, at least in their default icons. Fourteen have fanart (as opposed to game art/sprites, modified or not) for their default icons; one appears to have a modified sprite from a different game. Thirty-eight have not been updated in over a year; seventeen have (or say they have) never been updated.
Isaacs and Felixes apparently tend to be in the same games, although not necessarily at the same time. Pierses and Ivans are the most popular, but I don't notice a significant correlation for them like the Venus Adepts'.
Of the forty-seven, I knew of four before undertaking this research:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
venusadept_2, valehero, lost_lemurian, and mindtheboulder. The first is myself, the second (although the mun has removed all his interests, friends, etc.) was at Milliways for a time, the third contacted me through a Golden Sun fancomm, and the fourth tagged me in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mixed_muses once. Curiously, two of the other games I encountered through this research I had previously found when looking for icons for baron_dragoon.
Very interesting results. For the curious, and for my own future reference, I include a list of the forty-six, arranged by character.

Addendum: I ran this post through LJ's spellcheck. I'm interested to note that it doesn't recognize LJ, Picard, Karst, or pyro, but has no problem with RP or comm.
