1.  What do you think is a main character?
The character you want to play the most, the one you'll level first.

2.  What do you think makes a character an alternate character?
If you are more dedicated to another character, the rest are alternate.

3.  Do people have a responsibility to make certain "mains pair with mains" if you sense an interesting relationship (friends/rivals/lovers/enemies/long-lost relatives) forming or is it okay that someone's just not going to be around at random or for long periods of time?
I'm okay with anything so long as it works. I doubt any of my characters could develop any sort of interesting relationship with a random character who's never there, anyway. In fact, if I sense that the other person isn't really going to play much, I'll personally make sure that my character won't develop any sort of important bond.

4.  Have you ever discovered that your main was paired off in one of those situations with someone's alt?  They just didn't play them at all or played other characters?  Did it stall out your story?  What did you do?
It is only a problem if the other person suddenly stops playing, or plays their characters so scarcely that they no longer feel alive or even important. I don't like getting my characters into shallow relationships (of any kind), after all.
Yes, it happened to me once and I didn't enjoy it. What I did was to force a change in my character's feelings so that I could continue developing her story; the other person might have gotten bored of their character, but mine was important to me and was still there. I hope I never have to do this ever again.

5.  What's the biggest stereotype you think of when you think of people who only have one main character?
o.o? Is there any stereotype I should think of?

6.  What's the biggest stereotype you think of when you think of people who suffer alt-itis and swap characters often?
I've learned to never develop anything that actually matters with people who get bored of their characters quickly and keep creating new ones. I don't get bored of my main characters, so I wouldn't like them to develop a bond with anyone who will stop existing shortly.

7.  Which are you?  A single or two main characters?  5 main characters?  A bunch of alts?
I have a main and a half characters (?)
My Miqo'te is initially secondary, but in the end I'll depend on the people I play with. I'll take her seriously as well.

8.  How did you usually break up your time between your main characters?  Play on demand?  Always on one, demand for the other?  One with one group and when they all sign off switch to the other?
No idea. I'll try to RP the character that finds RP scenes to do. So far, my secondary is making things easier for me to RP her in more scenes since she has a family, but I keep considering my hyur my main character.
