I get you. I really do. I wish there were more hours in the day, so I could RP my other chars just as much as Ave. Currently I got only two characters who I roleplay. Ave was meant to be my get away character, but became my main. Virella is being used my secondary character. That said, I don't purposely try to make many new contacts on Vi outside people who already know me on Ave, as I don't want them to feel left out ect.
At the moment, I only roleplay Virella for FC plot related thing, and some attention to her IC husband (who in turn also has a new main, who Ave interacts with).
I'm of the personal believe, to maintain healthy roleplay relationships, you simply can't derp constantly on a heap of characters. Unless people are fine with offscreening a lot, if not being semi neglected in favour for another character they prefer roleplaying at that time and place. I'm personally not okay with this, and I don't expect people to accept such either.
If people have one alt? Fine, I don't think its unmanageable if they have a 'get away' character. If they got a heap, I'm really, really hard-pressed to pursue meaningful relationships with their characters beyond basic interaction. You never know when they might just drop you after all, if they suffer from severe altolism. Call me an asshole, but no thanks.
Of course there are exceptions, but I've seen too many people using their alts as "Eh my relationship on x character got boring, they are taken now, what is cheating or drama, so lets make another char to do some new spicy romance xoxox with, and ignore everyone else but my new ERP target of choice (◕‿◕✿)"
(Also the Romance Altholics tend to end up being massive drama lamas when one of their relationships goes to hell IC, and drag EVERYONE into it OOC.)
BUT. At the end of the day, so whatever you want. I got alts just levelled for extra rooms. MSQ isn't that bad if you just go blank mind mode on it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
