I barely have time for one character, so I can't be bothered with many. Trying to build my all-time favourite build on just this one char. As a result, he ended up being an all-rounder, jack of all trades but master of none. At least he's fun to play with.

Rissa Manyclaws (Khajiit, nightblade focus on stamina, dual axes and bow) is my main character, the only one I try to do everything with. She's particularly good at stealth and is my workhorse when valuable items (like soul gems) need to be stolen.

My leading secondary characters are:
Indrasa Avani (Dunmer, nightblade focus on stamina, dual daggers and bow)
Shuns-the-Knife (Argonian, nightblade focus on stamina, dual maces, mace-and-shield, bow, and mudballs)
Claret Vinecroft (Bosmer, nightblade focus on stamina, dual axes and bow)

Tertiary characters:
Brendalyn Jurarde (Breton, sorceror, dual and staves)
Pepper Morkul (Orc, Dragonknight, two-hand and bow)
Cognac Vinecroft (Bosmer, nightblade focus on stamina, dual axes and bow)
Cognac Vinecroft did a stint as The Mudball Goblin, but he has retired and given the title to Shuns-the-Knife, who likes mud better than Cognac does. There is always, eventually, return fire.

Joke Characters
Alikesha Ubded (Redguard, fat, mean, any weapon she can get her hands on). Her armor looks like underwear, but you probably shouldn't tell her so.
...and a few others, but I'm tired of typing for now.

Only one. Seriously, you guys - how do you have time to play more than one character on regular bases, let alone eighteen of them? Since eso is 18+ game have to assume you work for living + take care of other life related stuff (shoping, cleaning, cooking, laundry ...) yourself and likely have families, SO, or a pet on top of it all. Is it time magic? Don't you sleep?

Sleep? Not very well, no. To be a bit too honest, I've struggled with lots of demons in my life, various addictions, periods of depression, yadda-yadda. I find MMOs to be the best way to keep me out of trouble, so I'll often multi-task by having game on in the background while I do things like cook and clean, because that's healthier than downing a bottle of vodka while I cook or poping painkillers while I clean.

I have a main, on which I focus most achievement earning and story progression on, and I have a crafter, to which I teach my motifs to and furniture plans. Those are my regulars. Beyond that I have 16 alts, each a different role. I work my way through them, leveling their skills, but also run events on them to increase my rewards. To keep things interesting, I earn the associated achievements for that event as I work through the back bench, and for that I need individual achievements.

8 i think, one of every class and two dupes, but i don't play the dupes often- really i only play my sorc templar and warden the most.

I earned multiple plunder skulls on 101 characters during the witches festival. Since then, I have probably only "played" on 15 of them. The others have just done writs and some of them are still doing driver's ed.

I have 3 and I play them all.

I had 7 when I came back last year but deleted 4 and only kept the ones I really wanted to play.

I have several and play only one. The others are just creative exercise, sitting around looking pretty.

9 toons
1.Main bow/bow 99% PVE completion. Fun build.
2.Healer, mostly for pledges, dungeons, trials
3.Thief/Assassin for thieving, parked off in Outlaws refuge to reduce bounty until next log in.

Daily writs on all toons
7 out of 9 are CP810 - the last 2 are almost there.

Main and Healer are crafters.
The rest are at varying crafting levels to get mats at lower levels and are mostly mules.

One holds trophy items and sellable pieces like theodolite, swamp jelly, ginger kitten pieces, maps.
Another holds about 190 style pages
Another holds pvp equipment
Another holds master writs
The next 2 hold bits of various set items I'm interested in trying and am in process of collecting.

But I definately play 3 toons.

11 characters from which I regularly play 5 (the rest are below lvl 50). As a comment for the account wide achievements: Only my stam-dd (main) does actual questing in an organised manner and tries to complete all of the zone and story stuff, but my healer currently has completed more dungeon achievements and my pvp alt has more pvp achievements, which slightly bugs me. On the other hand I think character specific achievements encourage me to learn to play my main better to complete same content with her as I have with the healer or the pvp character.

I don't think I'm an "altaholic." Just that, like most of the people in my guild, I have multiple characters which I play pretty frequently. In more detail, Ive got one of each class, a specialised thief and 3 pure storage toons. The storage toons don't do much, but all of the others craft (daily writs), pvp (tier 1/3) and pve (RNDs and pledges when I feel like it / need keys). Which gets played for what varies of course, depending on what I feel like, what's going on - and what Zeni's doing to us this week.

But the last couple of weeks for instance, I'm doing quite a bit of solo pve on my magdk (craglorn), group pve + thieves guild on my magblade (he's still levelling undaunted) and cyro pvp on my stamblade (if only because zeni has nerfed pugs into oblivion). In addition, the necro (still a lowbie) is doing guild baby pvp sessions and an RND every day, while the templar usually knocks out a quick RND for the transmutes and ploughs through a few delves afterwards for the hell of it (want some more skill points to put into crafting. hirelings). The warden (my main tank) tends to only get pulled out when the guild needs a tank for pledges and for guild pvp runs. Ironically, the magsorc (my "main") doesn't see much play beyond crafting, trading and housing - sort of retired now.

Quite honestly, once the necro is levelled up, I'm not going to level another toon. Partly I'm at the point that I have more than I can feasibly play. Partly, it's starting to feel painful levelling alts. While I love that cp is account wide, and can handle levelling undaunted and mages guild, I loath the main quest with a passion (but always end up doing it for the skill points) and find the whole horse mini game just ridiculous.

Started with one, became an altoholic, spent 2 years getting gear for all of them, got sick of it and only played main for 18 months, with Markarth and the QoL set collections I actually started to play most of them again and giving them all updated gear since crafting is a bliss now.

Nice with lots of characters for easy crystal farming.
