I do share the feeling of the idea of having a family-sized IC persona in the same way (a legitimate family size, not simply 1 or 2 people playing all of the character). For a while, I thought I was alone in that endeavor.
I do know so far that both Kylin and I have what you would call a large, extended noble family. I can't speak for Kylin, but I am planning for my family to be generally 'large' in the sense of Ryanti having many distant cousins, an Aunt and Uncle, Mother and Father, Grandfather, etc. Read my wiki for more details.
Part of the reason why I'm undertaking the vast history and diversity of my character's family is because of the potential it has for other people, if they so desire, to become involved in my always-active process of defining the history of my character and his family.
It's been a casual thought of mine to play around with the idea of others playing family members of my character IC. It would be more reminiscent of how the family's presence about themselves would actually be in the lore versus what is possible to do in-game.
In fact, I think in my player directory thread, I talk about the potential of other rp'ers to play family members/associates/servants/swordmaster instructor/etc.
It would definitely be something if it were to happen. If it fits your desires, I am open for it to happen.
It's just, y'know, there has to be chemistry. Trust. I have paranoid-induced thoughts of people taking my family's lore and having myself lose creative control of my own 'dynasty' I guess you could say. I'm afraid I won't like where it goes if other people actually, y'know.. get their fingers on my creative process aka my family.
So there would have to be a trust there, and chemistry, and like-minded thoughts about the past, present, and future of the family and everything. And people would have to understand, y'know.. the concept.
If those hurdles could be jumped, then I'm open for that to happen.
