How would you define a main character vs a minor character

I'd say that it's less 'main character/minor character' and more 'major character/minor character'. As Yuu pointed out, the Main Character is the one character that the story revolves around. A major character, on the other hand, does not have to be the story's focus, but is still important to the story. Jade here is a major character, for example, but he's not in the spotlight all the time like Luke is.

I'd define a major character as someone who is 100% essential to the story. The main party, and the primary antagonists. The people who are most likely to encounter each other over the course of their story. Minor characters are the ones who are more removed from the spotlight. They mainly work behind the scenes.

Also, a voicetesting meme could be great. Trying out new voices can be frustrating, especially if you only have Dear Mun to go to.

In other words I should probably go reword that to avoid future confusion. /derp.

Do you mind if I use that explanation? And if I can, would you like it noted somewhere that those are your words?

/o That's what I was thinking, kinda.

I guess you can, if you want to. XD; I'll admit that I may have locked on to one point and forgotten about the rest. It's late here.

I would think, though, as long as the characters you're playing don't have a significant amount of screentime with each other (e.g. Ginji and Dist would be okay, but Ginji and Asch would be a little... weird, since they work together), then you should be good.

Frings and Luke? /on the fence there.

Frings would be fine, I would think. It'd be more problematic if, say, you tried to play Peony and Frings at the same time. Frings might share a lot of his screentime with Luke, but he's spent more time around Jade, Peony, and other Malkuthians.
