Seeing my alter-characters in Tamriel
I've got three characters I use for ESO/Morrowind. I can see other player characters at the spot where they leave the game. However, if I leave an area with one character and begin using another character, when I go to the area where I left my first character, I can't see them standing there. Does this just apply to your own characters but not to other people's characters?

✭They have not left the game, they are just picking their nose.
All toons disappear when they log out.1 -
SquareSausage✭✭✭✭✭Dude what?
When you log out you instantly leave the game. Same goes for everyone.

OK, so those characters I see just standing around in one place for hours are live players that are still signed on but aren't doing anything at the moment?0

Are... are you sure they're not NPCs?1 -
They've got pets, Names/rank/red bar above the characters. They look to me to be someone's playable character. Don't you see those just standing around? If you signed off and your character just blinked out of existence, when people signed off for the evening, wouldn't the world be a little barren?0

Not sure if trolling, or...
Just in case you're not: the players you're seeing standing around doing nothing are probably chatting in guild chat or something like that. Also, no, the world is not barren when players log off for the evening because of this little thing called "time zones."

✭✭✭✭✭If it was possible to log in and take a picture with your own apprentices yes this one she is sure we would all have been doing it by now!
A family photo with all 11of us would be quite something.

Right. If you log out properly, your character disappears immediately. If you force quit without logging off properly, your character may remain there for up to fifteen minutes before the inactivity timer kicks you out.If you force quit your character stays for a while however it doesnt work if u log on other character.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

Guild chat, or roleplaying, or checking out-of-game guides, or in a menu that doesn't have an animation (does the CP menu have an animation? What about Collections? I'm not sure), or are taking a bathroom or food break, or they could even be people watching. I do that sometimes: I walk around a busy city and look at all the player characters, to see what designs people have come up with.
You can be temporarily disconnected from your character (internet outage, etc.). At that point, your character will linger in the game for a short time before being booted for staying idle, just as you can be booted for leaving the game up for too long. Not sure what the idle timer is... ten minutes? After that, you're kicked out.
Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
